My daughters braces pushed back her teeth, can this be rectified?

Friday, February 25th, 2011
Q.

My daughter has had braces on in the Dominican Republic for just about 3 years and now she has had the top set taken off I visited a different dentist for fitting of a retainer. It has come to light that her teeth have been ‘pushed back’ as the braces were not correctly applied. Please can you advise if the teeth will naturally ‘move forward’ or if there is treatment to correct this. The new dentist wants to reapply the bottom brace to close some gaps but says she can’t correct the ‘push back’. I am also locating a lawyer for the malpractice of the initial dentist. Your advise is much appreciated.

Should my son get implants or braces first?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

My son chipped his upper-left, front tooth in 1/2 at age 8 and chipped off most of the rest of it at age 16. At that time, the dentist removed the entire tooth, performed surgery to strengthen the area and I think removed nerves, and made him a fake tooth that goes in like a retainer (sorry, I’ve forgotten what this is called). Now that he is 17, we are now ready (financially) to meet with an Orthodontist about braces and an implant.

Which do you suggest happens first, the braces or the implant?

Thank you for your time.

I have been recommended treatment that would leave me with no back teeth, second opinion?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Q.

In my upper teeth, I have a noticeable gap between my two front teeth, and I am missing both lateral incisors. I also have a twisted canine on my left side.
At the moment I have an option of having a brace on the NHS. However, I have been told by my dentist that I have no wisdom teeth coming through or 2nd molars. Also, I still have both 2nd molar baby teeth, with no premolars to come through.
I have been told by the dentist, if I have a brace they will remove my baby teeth, leaving me with more gaps. They will then move my teeth forward closing all the gaps, but leaving me with no teeth towards the back of my mouth where you chew. They won’t do anything else as it is classed as cosmetic surgery.
Can you advise me on what to do? If I was to go to a private practice, do you have any idea what they would do?

A.
There are quite a few options … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
