I’m 19 And I Have A Gap Between My Teeth. What Treatment Can Fix This And Will I Need A Frenectomy?

Thursday, April 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I’m 19 years old and I’ve got gaps in my top teeth, especially between my 2 middle teeth, which is about 0.5cm wide. I think this is caused by my low maxillary labial fraenum, which is making the gap wider with time. This is really embarrassing for me and it affects my confidence. What kind of treatment do I need and what would be the estimated cost? Also, would I need to get a frenectomy afterwards?
Thank you for taking the time to advise me on this matter.

Hello, My Partner Recently Had A Procedure At The Orthodontic Clinic And He’s Still In Pain, Is This Normal?

Monday, October 21st, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel. I’d like to discuss how my partner got a procedure done at hospital at the orthodontics clinic nine days ago. They cut away a fair size, triangle shape from the hard palette. He is still in extreme pain which we don’t think is normal I contacted them on Tuesday and she looked at his mouth said it was fine. Could there be a nerve showing maybe that’s causing the pain? Just feel it’s not normal to be in just as much pain nine days on, he only had the normal dentist for the procedure to be carried out. What would you suggest that we do, is it normal? Thank you for your time.

Hi, I Have A Slight Overbite And I’m Looking Into Getting It Rectified. Can I Send You Photos So You Can Assess Which Treatment Options Are Viable?

Wednesday, October 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello Mark, I have a slight under-bite and was looking in to getting it rectified. I recently visited two orthdontists, both of whom thought that though the surgery was an option, a braces program of 18 months would correct it. Just to cover all angles, can veneers give the appearance of an under-bite correction? From internet browsing it seems some say yes , and others are saying no! I’ve got some pictures I can send to you – I know a closer examination would be needed but I’m just curious at this stage of what kind of treatment options are available to me! Many thanks, it would be great to hear your feedback regarding this.

I Don’t Want My Son To Have Work On His Healthy Teeth. Are There Any Less Extreme Options?

Thursday, September 26th, 2013
Q.

My son has Hypodontia. He is 16 years old and has completed his orthodontic work. He’s too young for implants and doesn’t want a denture. His clinic has recommended bridges but my dentist says it involves some work on healthy teeth which worries me. My dentist says he will keep work to the healthy teeth to a minimum. He’s entitled to NHS treatment but I understand that private materials, etc, are superior. Any advice would be most welcome!

I Love The Way My New Plate Looks, But It’s Given Me A Lisp. Can They Change It’s Shape?

Friday, August 30th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I want to tell you that I had top replacement plate made because my first plate was nine years old and I thought it was time to get a second one in case something happened to the only plate I had. Well, the new plate looks beautiful, but I now have a lisp. To me it seems like the palate is too deep on this plate. It is much deeper on this plate than on my other one. Do you know if they can alter the plate somehow? Is this a question a lot of people ask? I really do love the way my new plate looks, I just hate the lisp that it has given me. They advised that I try it and see if it goes away. What do they do to try and resolve this?

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Is It Best To Shorten Or Lengthen My Front Teeth To Have Them Level?

Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I have always had one tooth slightly longer than the other at the front and I am not very comfortable smiling because of it and I’m looking at ways of fixing it. What is the best way to fix this? Can I have this levelled out or a bit added to the shorter one? I am worried that if I have it shortened it might discolour and even eventually fall out, Could this happen? How much would a treatment like this cost or would you advise to leave it as it is? Thank you for your time.

I’m 21-Years-Old, Can The NHS Help Close The Gaps In My Teeth?

Monday, August 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am 21 year old female and I have always had gappy teeth for as long as i can remember, and because of this i spend most of my time trying to hide them.I rarely have them on show or smile in pictures. It has been a problem for years and I feel as I am getting older it is preventing me from doing a lot I things. I was wondering if this is something which generally has to be paid for in full or something which the the NHS could help with? I never received any braces as a youngster as they were never given to me as an option and I’m desperate to sort them out now, I’m getting older and just want a nice smile. I’m not asking for much am I? Thank you for your time, I really hope you can suggest something for me.

I’m Not Happy With My Crowns As They Are Sitting On My Lips, Please Help!

Friday, July 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I have recently had most of my teeth crowned in December and didn’t like them as the front teeth appeared to go in like they used to. So to try and solve this I paid my dentist again and they look great, perhaps a bit dull though but not as bad as the were…anyway the problem I am having is they feel like they are all sitting on my lip and it looks like I have a bit of a sad face when I open my mouth. The problem seems to be worsening and I’m not sure what I should do. Do you think this is because they never straightened my teeth at the start as the were quite badly damaged? Thanks for your time.
