What Orthodontic Treatment Would I Qualify For?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
Q.

I’m a 20 year old student and very self conscious. My canines broke through my gums on my top rack of teeth because my baby teeth didn’t fall out until late. My right one fell out a few months ago, therefore my canine has lowered into place but is slightly twisted. My left canine hasn’t been able to lower because the baby tooth still hasn’t fallen out. This has led to the canine severely twisting.
All I want is for the final baby tooth to be removed and for my front six teeth (my top incisors and canines) to be straightened. What treatment would I qualify for? How much will it be and is there any extra help for students?

I Have Severely Crooked Teeth Due To A Childhood Illness. I’m Looking For A Competent Orthodontist. Can You Recommend One?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi Marcus.

I am after a specialist advice if I may please.

The dentist I went to earlier in the year has agreed to refer me to an orthodontist, unfortunately I haven’t been contacted for a consultation.

I have severely crooked teeth due to childhood illness resulting in my baby teeth falling out before my adult teeth were formed. My teeth in general require quite a lot of work (without being overly dramatic).

Can you please direct me to a competent professional who will be able to help?

Thank you.

I Am 50 And I Still Have A Baby Tooth That Now Needs To Come Out. What Solutions Do You Suggest I Go With To Close The Gap?

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013
Q.

I am 50 years old with a baby tooth that never fell out next to my top big tooth it is now discoloured, loose and I got an estimate for Invisalign which is crazy I have no orthodontic insurance. What would be your suggestion for fixing this? Invisalign, 6 month smile? I cut all my food, I don’t smile and now I’m at the point that I need to get something done. The dentist said he doesn’t know how the tooth hasn’t fallen out yet. You’d really be helping me.

My New Dentist Told Me That I Still Have A Baby Tooth Present, Why Wasn’t This Mentioned To Me Before?

Thursday, August 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi,
I have been for a routine check up this morning and my new dentist has noticed I still have a baby tooth (2 along from my front teeth). I am 31 and have regular 6 monthly check ups. This has never been mentioned to me before. He said it may last another 4-5 years and at the point where it comes out I will need to have the adult tooth removed from the roof of my mouth and an implant placing. Is this something you have seen before and is it something I should have done at my local dentist as opposed to a specialist practice such as yours?
Many thanks.

My daughter has been in braces for 4 years now and her bite is completely off! Why is this happening and what should we do?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, I wondered if you could help me? My daughter had her baby tooth removed (next to front teeth – upper) 4 yrs ago, then a brace was fixed to bring down her permanent tooth. The orthodontist said she would shift her teeth over to bring down the permanent tooth. Well, 4 yrs later, the tooth came down, but she is still in braces and her bite is completely off and her teeth are slanted. What can we do? I have consulted 3 other orthodontists who are not sure about taking over treatment. Please advise me! Thank you!

Is there any way to get a replacement tooth before I have brace treatment?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012
Q.

I’m in the process of having some bracers fitted to straighten my teeth, today i was given the normal check over and x-ray only to find that that I have still got 1 baby tooth on the upper right side next to my front 2 teeth. It doesn’t look like there is an adult tooth underneath and my dentist thinks with the braces this baby tooth will fall out as it’s already a little loose.

At 31 years old I didn’t think this would happen, is there any way to get a replacement tooth in the same spot to make my smile look even and would it involve a lot of work? I know it’s hard to say without looking at the x-ray and my teeth but is there ways of correcting this? My own dentist has stopped going forward to redo my smile plan, i’m worried it’s going to cost more money which i can’t afford (already at 4k)

Any advise on this matter is most welcome.

Many Thanks

Iain

Some of my adult teeth didn’t come through and now I have large gaps in my smile, what can I do to fix this?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hello, I just require some general advice please. When I was 18 I was told I needed 3 baby teeth taken out (two at top and one right bottom, all second premolars), so I went to hospital to have them taken out. I am now 25 and the adult teeth never did come through which has led to all the teeth close by to spread out and cause enormous gaps, also I now have a large gap in my front teeth, I did have a free consultation a few years ago but I was told that to have the teeth fixed it would cost me around £3,000. Is there anything else I can do or is there a cheaper way to fix this problem? I’m really self concious about my smile. Thanks for your time.
