My face seems to be getting thinner since I started orthodontic work, could it be the braces?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am 30yr old male. I have had braces for 1.5 yrs now on lower teeth with 1 extraction-second molar on my left. This was to correct and straighten my teeth. I am noticing a thinning of my face – making it look narrow. Everyone keeps saying ‘you have lost weight’ but I have not. My ortho says it cannot be braces, as only jaw surgery can change my jawline. I am very worried. Is he right? What can I do? He is moving my back teeth to cover the gap from the extraction. I would rather have an implant to make my face look fuller, (more teeth, wider smile)but he says that it will make no difference. I am very concerened. Thank you

As a result of gum disease, I have lost 2/3 of my jaw and my tooth move – what do you advise?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011
Q.

I experienced serious gum disease several years ago and lost a healthy tooth that was replaced by a successful implant. I have also lost a molar to a root canal that crumbled but I have not replaced this with and implant.

I also lost up to 2/3 of my jaw bone due to gum disease so although I have good strong teeth and immaculately clean gums (I’ve learned my lesson on good oral hygiene!) I have a lot of tooth movement – it changes my bite and I can get jaw ache from it.

I’d like to know if any kind of braces would be feasible or if there was a not too invasive way of getting my teeth to stay relatively still?

Thanks in advance.

How much would it cost to have two implants done?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

I have recently had an upper left root filled molar shear off and next to it there is an old gap where a tooth is missing. I need some sinus filling as the jaw shows up as thin in the x rays. If I have both implants done at the same time would you have any idea of cost?

As a rough guide we would char… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I was born with a cleft palate when i was a baby. I had my jaw broken when i was younger to correct my bite but still my top set of teeth are smaller than my bottom and i don’t have a smile that fills my mouth. I look like i have gaps at the sides. Is there anything that can be done. I went through hell with my teeth when i was younger, what with operations and braces. I am 27 now and just want for it all to be worth it

I’m worried my daughter has the same jaw problem as me, can I stop this?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi,

I have a 7 month old baby girl and am worried that when she grows up her bottm jaw will stick out more than her top jaw.

I have this problem and am concerned that she will have the same.

I have noticed lately that when she makes noises her bottm gums show and you cant see her top gums, she talks like she is sticking her bottm gum out.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

A.
I understand your concern, but… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is the price range for having full jaw implants?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I would like to have implants for my full upper and lower jaw. I have been reluctant to show a smile since 16yo shortly I completed 5 years of braces (with headgear) and the results were a jaw and smile worse than before it started. I have had some extractions, and another 2 are starting to decay, so i feel it may be the right time now. I have seen the results of full jaw implants in USA and was told they were about £5000? How much does a complete mouth cost? Is it better/cheaper going abroad, in which case where would you recommend. Is there any help you can give on what to look for? Many thanks for your help.

Having initially been told I wouldn’t need to have two ‘exposures’, I am now being advised differently, any advice?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
In a weeks time I am having the first stage of two implants being put in, on my top jaw near the front, after two extractions and a bone graft last june. I will have a bridge as well as I now have three spaces. When I was given a quote in June, the dentist said it was very unlikely I would need to have two ‘exposures’ but now he says I do have to, costing an additional £165 each, or otherwise I can not wear my denture for the next six months. I simply could not understand his explanation. Could you please explain? Thank you.,
