Is its possible to fix braces on my front teeth which are pushed together?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Q. Hi im  24 years old,Im a very nervous patient, after 16 years i went to the dentist and i found out i need 9 extractions, top 5 4 4 6 7, bottom 7 6 5 7. My front teeth on the top are a bit pushed together, i was wondering if its possible to fix braces on them now that im gonna have all that missing teeth. Also on the bottom jaw my front teeth are nice and straight, is it possible to fix something to retain their position, so they wont move to close the gaps. (i know dental implants could be perfect to replace missing tooth, but due to my financial situation and my phobia its not possible for me) thank you for your help

A. Hi ,
Thanks for your questions. I would recommend that you visit a local Orthodontist to obtain a definite answer as to whether braces would be suitable for you. You may be able to find a local practice that offers a free initial consultation, so that you can gain a professional opinion without financial loss. I feel that although Orthodontics are used to close gaps, there are limits as to how much space your teeth would fill and how far they can be moved. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further assistance.
Kind Regards

I hv over crowded teeth how can I straighten them?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. Hiya Julian I am a 33 yr old woman who has always worried about my smile I have horrible overcrowded teeth and find it hard to smile on a day to day basis I am now sick and tired of hiding my teeth and want to know how I can straighten them and live a happy smiley life 

A. The first line of treatment is to consider braces.  These can often be virtually invisable.  Veneers can be used if the teeth are in a reasonable position and the time to give you the beautiful smile can only be a few weeks!   Come and see me if you can for a free consultation

How can I preserve the broken teeth?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. If a child breaks a front tooth in half horizontally and you have the piece can it be reattached? What should be done with the broken tooth piece to preserve it and how long do you have to get it to the dentist?

A. I would keep it clean and safe and see your dentist as soon as possible as it can often be bonded back together.

Can I have all teeth removed and dentures fitted?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Q. Need help not confirmed but know i have gum diesease front teeth crooked and one loose,can i get all removed and dentures fitted.if so how long from removal can they be fitted and roughly how much.please help.live in north lincs

A. Hi many thanks for your email, if the teeth are of poor prognosis then yes this could be an option. the cost of the extractions will vary but could be as much as £1000 per arch, the dentist would make you a set of immediate dentures to begin with these are dentures placed on the day of the extractions and are worn for approximately 3-6 months while the healing takes place. the cost of these dentures per one is around £500 – £1000. once all the healing has taken place the final set of dentures dependant on quality can range from £1000 to £4000 for a set. hope this is helpful.

I hv my front teeth pushed forward Whats the best option for me?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Q. Hi there. I am 23 and one of my front teeth has been pushed forward over the years so it now sticks out. I am very self conscious about it and it affects my confidence. I’m just wondering what the best option for me is?

A. It sounds like a brace might work well. I use an Inman Aligner for mild crowding it works quickly and gives good results. Try to find a dentist close to you who can provide this treatment for you.

Is six months braces is suitable or bridges for crowded teeth?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have severe overcrowding of my upper 4 front teeth. Recently i went to a dentist who suggested the six month brace, however i went to another dentist and she recommended that i have my four teeth extracted and a bridge put in place. This dentist said that the six month smile does not work on teeth which are severley crowded. I’m so confused, im not sure what to believe. I find i just get everyone building my hopes up and then getting blown out the window the next minute! (sorry just had to have a lil rant!) i would appreciate your opinion as to whether six month smile braces are suitable for severe crowded teeth and if not is bridging the next option? Many thanks 

A. Certainly do not get the teeth extracted and a brige placed! This is the totally wrong thing to do for something that can be correctly non-invasively. Once a tooth is extracted cannoth be replaced and a bridge last 10-15years, so would be a life time expense as you would have to get it replaced possible quite a few times throughout your life.
If the 6 month brace is not suitable, than there is certianly a brace that can. If you want something invisible then perhaps invisalign may be suitable, if not then lingual brace (these are braces fixed to the inside of your teeth).
I advise you book an appointment with an orthodontist.
If you would like a recommendation, my collegue Dr Darsh Patel is an exellent oerthodontist, offering every brace there is out there, and if you can our team a call on 020 7612 9810 they would be happy to help you.

Is its common to have a veneer on a false tooth and how durable?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. Dear Dr. Patel. I have just had a replacement bridge and whilst the two crowned teeth supporting the false tooth are well fitted the centre false tooth has a gap at the gum line and appears to be leaning out a little. The dentist has filed it to reduce the bulky appearance but this has not helped and it is not as good as the original bridge I had done 8 years ago by the same dentist. The dentist is trying hard to please me and has arranged to put a veneer on the FALSE tooth. Is having a veneer on a false tooth common and how durable will it be. I would be very pleased to receive a reply. Thank you very much. 

A. I think that putting a veneer over the tooth may not work the bridge needs to be removed and if it can be taken off in one piece can be sent to the laboratory and fixed, if not you will need a new bridge.

Q. Hi i am a girl of 23 and i have very bad teeth, so bad that too on my left side have broke and a few on my right side are starting to go black, i’m not registerd with a dentist as i am just to scared to go but i know that something needs to be done as its getting to the point where i dont want to leave the house or even kiss my partner because my breath is just that bad, please help as i have too little girls one aged 4 years and the other aged 18 months and i dont want them to be as scared as me!! i just dont know were to turn.

A. You need to try to find a dentist NHS or private ASAP perhaps one that offers treatment under intra-venous sedation to help you to relax during treatment. Once this treatment is underway you should start to get your confidence back Best wishes Andrew

Is there a way to get my lower teeth lined up?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. My question is about my lower teeth, 4 to 5 of them are overcrowded but also some are kind of chipped but do not have a hole in them. Is there a way to get them to line up in every way?

A. You could have the teeth straightened and then have the chipped teeth re built.  You need to have a consultation to see what options are available.

My orthodontist suggests to remove the premolars from my 12 year old Pls advice

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Q. Hi, My 12 year old daughter is in the middle of her braces treatment. Her orthodontist noticed that she has 2 missing upper teeth (I think they are the premolars.) Now that her lower premolars are coming out, the orthodontist suggest that she has them removed. He said that number of teeth on her upper should be the same amount as her lower. I wonder if that’s true. Right now my daughter’s x-ray should that she has 2 bottom molars that have not come out yet but no sign for her other upper molars. She now has 10 teeth on the upper and 12 on her lower bridge. I’m worried that if I have the other 2 lower teeth removed she will not have enough teeth in the future! What is your opinion?

A. If she is crowded then removal of the teeth is indicated. When all the teeth come through she won’t miss the premolar teeth. Talk it through with your orthodontist before you proceed with treatment

Is it normal to get pain and aching or strange sensations after crown fitted

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Q. I had a crown fitted a couple of years ago on a bottom molar. I suffered a lot of pain shortly after it was fitted and at an emergency appointment with a dentist it was necesary for a hole to be put in crown to relieve pressure caused by bleeding.The hole was of course filled afterwards. The crown is still sensitive from time to time – I get pain or aching or strange sensations which lasts for a few days and then it settles. Is this normal and if not what is the likely cause?

A. Maybe your bite need to be adjusted or maybe there is another underlying problem.
I recommend you book an appointment with your dentist for a bite adjustment and to have an x-ray taken.
Kind regards

Treatment for misalligned and over crowded teeths

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Q. My teeth are misalligned and are over crowded..what treatment could you recommend other than braces. i dont mind teeth being removed if the outcome will be that they are straight thanks

A. Thanks for your e-mail, there are many Orthodontic products available through dental practices, with treatment times starting at as little as four weeks. However, if you have decided this is not a route you wish to take, I would advise that you visit a cosmetic dentist to discuss the possibililty of using Veneers to assist in creating you a perfect new smile.  I hope that this will be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further advise.

My mouth is crowded with teeth so should I need to go bridges or braces?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Q. I have a dilemma. i knew i needed braces since i was 13, but when it came time to do it i backed out for asthetic reasons and i didnt want to be picked on in school. now im 24 years old and im angry with myself because my teeth are still crooked and they could have been straight a long time ago. now theres another problem..im getting a sore jaw because of the pressure of my teeth. i had a consultation a few years ago to get invisaligne, but the dentist told me because of the position of my front tooth i would have to go with the traditional braces-or-he could pull the crooked teeth out and go with a bridge. im really not sure what to do…my mouth is so crowded with teeth i have a slight speech impediment and i really have to concentrate not to lisp or mumble..and i fear if i get braces it will make it even worse. do you think going with a bridge would be a good idea??

A. I would never advise the extraction of healthy teeth for something that cn be corrected non-invasively. You need an opinion of an experienced othodontist who can answer all your speach and aesthetic cocerns. I can recommend my collegue Dr Darsh Patel. He offers both invisible and recreational methods. You can book an appointment with Darsh on 020 7612 9810 and feel free to visit the website www.umbrellasmiles.com

Can I have brace for just one tooth

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Q. Hi, I have a tooth on the right side of my mouth(3rd from the centre)which is not in line with the rest of my teeth on the top row. My smile looks crooked and this tooth sticks out. Im not sure if I can correct this as I dont know if I need a brace for just one tooth.

A. You can use a brace for one tooth or many, it all depends on the severity of the crowding whether this is the best option for you.

My front tooth is discoloured would i have to get both teeth crowned or vennered?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Q. My front tooth is discoloured and is darker than the other front tooth. Its gradually got worse over the years although has not changed in the last year or so. Im aware that it is noticable and would like to get this rectified and was wondering whether I would have to get both teeth crowned or vennered to get a good colour match.

A.

discolouration is sometimes a sign of a dead tooth. An Xray will help to check it out. Assuming the tooth is stable, healthy, not heavily filled  and your bite is suitable most cases would work well with two veneers.

Is it good to pull out gaped, crooked and bucked front teeth?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Q. Can i have my four front teeth pulled out and replaced with false ones because they are buck, gap and crooked

A. Hi many thanks for your email. This does sound somewhat drastic. there are many ways to correct the position of the teeth, with the advent of six month smiles and inman aligner technology the movement of teeth can take as little as 8-10 weeks. my advice would seek the advice of a cosmetic dentist. what you are asking for is in my opinion a last resort. hope this is helpful.

What are the less expensive options for stained and crooked teeth?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Q. Hello. I am 40 years old and for as long as I can remember my teeth have been in a very poor condition. They are stained, crooked and badly worn. I would love to have them all taken out and be fitted with dentures or something similar. I am not registered with a dentist and not entitled to NHS. I am on a low income and am desperate to have this problem fixed. Could you please tell me how i can get this done and an approximate cost. Its ruining my life now. Thank you in advance

A. This is a very dificult problem because unfortunatley there are costs involved and depending on which treatment option you opt for the cost can be quite high.  Many dentists offer payment plans but in this economic climate it can be difficult to get approval from the lending companies.  Your best option is to find a dentist near you for a proper exam and to get a range of treatment options hopefully within your budget

How to ensure teeth stay in position after aligining them?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Q. I had dental work done when I was a child as my teeth were over-crowded and crooked. My teeth have now moved slighly, I’m 28 now and I am considering doing a course of the invisalign system as my orthodontist recommended that I can get the results I want from a 20week programme. I’m worried about my teeth moving again after the treatment is complete – is there anything I can do to prevent them moving again in the future?

A. Hi many thanks for your email, the only way to ensure the teeth stay in position once the teeth are aligned is to either have a fixed retainer fitted or wear a removable retainer for at least twice weekly at night. hope this is helpful.
