My teeth have moved and now I am unentitled to free ortho, how much will it cost?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible you could help me out by giving me some advice and giving me an idea on what I’m entitled to. I’m 18 years old but in full time education and I had my braces taken off a year or so ago and was given a retainer, within in the 6 months of having the retainer on my current dentist told me to chuck them out as I no longer needed them? Now two of my bottom teeth have overlapped and one of my top teeth has shifted back a little. I’m aware that now I’m 18 I may have to pay towards it, but hopefully not £2000+ as not much work is needed to be done. I was wondering if you could tell me how much it is going to cost me? And if I am entitled to any discounts of any sort due to still being in education.

Many thanks,

A.

What can i do about my concerns with my retainer now I have a new orthodontist owns the practice?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Andrew, you recommended to me recently that I see my orthodontist over concerns that my teeth are shifting under my bonded retainer. However, somebody else owns the practice now and they won’t let me see him, even though I am happy to pay for him and he did the treatment for me brilliantly. Is this unfair treatment on me and what is the best thing to do? I highly trust this orthodontist and I am upset that they won’t let me see him even though I said I will pay. Can I complain?

I can’t think why this would b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should I get a fixed or permanent retainer?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am into my 7th month of 6 month smiles treatment. My dentist is telling me that he is going to fit a permanent bonded retainer behind my teeth after treatment. I haven’t been given a choice of wearing a removable retainer. My main concern is that I will no longer be able to floss. Should I be able to opt for a removable, or is it better to have a permanent bonded retainer fitted?

A.

After my braces were removed there was still a gap, what can be done to close this?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr. Riten
I choose you cause you have a great smile! A dentist with a great smile its a must!
When i was 20 years old, i had a incluse canine on the palate and the 1st “milk”canine didnt fell. Unfortunatly at that time they decided to take it off instead of tracking him to the place. So i dont have my upper left canine. I made a profile with the ortondontist years later cause it could fall eventualy..so we decided to use the braces, take the “milk canine” and a pre molar on the upper right side and arrange all teeths…after 2 and a half years, it turned nicely…EXCEPT…i moved to italy, and i finished the last year with braces here….they places my “pre molar” as a canine, but it doesnt has the exact size… there was a stage where it was but now i only have the splint do to maintainance after you take the braces off…and i have a gap !!! :( i went to the dentist yeasterday and he said it CANT Be done to close that gap…!!! i saw so many videos online on cosmetic dentistry, i think maybe he is not an expert??? Should i put braces again? look another dentist who can use composite to close this gap? i want to smile again….
thank you! Best regards!

Hi there,
