I feel that I need braces, what do you think?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hello there, I am 15 years old and just over a year ago I went to my orthodontics and they said my teeth were at ‘2’ on a 1-10 scale; 1 being the best. However, my bottom teeth are really quite crooked. I would be happy to have braces but what do you suggest? Also, my two top front teeth arent straight at the bottom. They seem to go up and down in a hill type motion, if you know what I mean. What do you think would be best to make them more straight? And how old do you have to be to have your teeth whitened? Cheers,
,

I am not happy with my brace treatment and I would like a second opinion. Can you help?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had braces for 2 years and 2 months and am not happy with the result. My teeth are still not straight and and now instead of being crowded have some gaps. Also, a bracket constantly falls off, last time it was reglued it lasted 2 hours. I would really like a second opinion but don’t know where to go or what to do? Can you help or give me some advice if this is normal? I don’t know what to do. I’m not even sure if I can ask a second opinion…. Thank you for any advice,
A.

I’m having a problem with pressure when my back teeth touch. Is this something that can be addressed with braces?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am female, 24 years old and I was meant to get a brace when I was 12 years old, but it never went ahead. I booked a consultation for September to find out about a Fixed brace to correct some slight overcrowding/crooked teeth (I have already had one consultation). But I am now starting to wonder if I have a problem with my jaw too. My dentist (and the Ortho at my first consultation) told me I have quite a deep overbite (not an overjet), so my top front teeth pretty much cover my lower front teeth when I bite down. I have noticed lately that when I close my bite (make my back teeth touch) I feel pressure on parts of my lower jaw (towards the back of the jaw, near the ear area). It feels as if someone is literally forcing my lower aw back further than feels comfortable. When I release my bite and part my teeth (so that my back teeth are no longer meeting/touching) the pressure is released and feels much more comfortable. I find myself keeping my teeth apart like this most of the day to avoid the discomfort that I experience in my lower jaw when I make my back teeth touch. Does this sound like something that can be fixed with fixed braces? Is it possibly due to my overbite and the fact that my top teeth tilt slightly inwards (towards the inside of my mouth) so then my lower teeth have to go further backwards to fit behind upper teeth, causing my jaw to ache by being too far back. I am finding this rather difficult to explain, hopefully I have made some sense. Kind regards,
A.
