My teeth are crooked, what can i do to straighten them?

Friday, February 11th, 2011
Q.

I am now 37 and all through my life and two pregnancies my dentist said I had very healthy teeth. Now I have 6 very crooked teeth on the bottom and they cross over alot. I am very concerned about it and try not too show them so when I smile I just raise the corners of my mouth. Also my front two teeth have always been fab but now they are looking transparent and have visible lines that I notice when I look in the mirror. My dentist said it was due to my age! Please help and tell me what can be done to straighten my crooked teeth. They cross over by nearly a third in 1 or 2 places so I think braces is out of the question.

What are my best options to straighten my teeth, preferably as quickly and discretely as possible?

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011
Q.

I am 38 years old and had braces when I was 19. I wore my retainer faithfully for about 2 years, and was very happy with the outcome. Every month or so I would try on my retainer, and if it felt tight to get on, I would wear it for a week or so. I have noticed lately that my teeth aren’t as straight as they once were, and my retainer won’t even fit around my teeth. What are my best options to restraighten them – I really want something fast, and as invisable as possible – cost is not a problem.
Thanks you.

I have been told braces would make my TMJ worse. What are my options to straighten them?

Monday, December 6th, 2010
Q.

Hi, I’ve always been very self-conscious about my crooked front teeth. So I decided to have braces. The orthodontist told me that I will need 4 bicuspid tooth extraction. My parents were against it but agree to let me make my own decision. But unfortunately, just a few days ago, I found out that I might have TMJ disorders so I went on asking about it and found it was true. I have TMJ. And some even said that bicuspid extraction will actually cause TMJ to severe. So in the end I had decided not to have braces. But right now I’m still feeling very upset about my teeth. How can I straighten it a little? Braces is definitely out of the question. I just want to make it look better a little, is there anything I can do?

Where would I be able to have a check up for my braces whilst I visit the UK on holiday?

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Q.

Hi Sunita,

Hope you are doing well.  I have undergone orthodontics treatment one week back and now planning to travel to UK in the next month. But as per my doctors advise I need to undergo periodic checks after having the braces.

Can you please let me know if anybody can take up my case and do periodic checks during my stay in UK.

I would be very grateful if anybody can take up.

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks

What are my best options to correct a protruding canine tooth and slight overbite?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

Good Afternoon Dr. Verma,

I visited two orthodontists and a dentist for my right upper canine tooth that is slightly protruding.

The first orthodontists, said that i needed to remove both left and right 2nd premolars and wear braces for two years then retainers, because i also have a slight overbite.

The second said the same thing. but i only need it on top.

The dentist said that since its the canine tooth that’s protruding, i could wear a hawley retainer to pull/push it in for a year.

Do you think the hawley retainer would actually work?

And is it really necessary for them to remove the premolars if it is slightly protruding?

A.
