Hello.
I have an overbite but it’s like quite severe. My bottom teeth are straight and my top teeth are pretty much straight aswel. I have trouble with eating and speaking normally sometimes and since I am a teenager it is starting to put a real downer on my social life as I’m sure you can imagine. My confidence is getting knocked everytime I look in the mirror so I guess you could call it a severe problem for me. Since beginning to look at my options I have become slightly confused. I have been to a consultant and he said that the only option is to break my jaw but it will take a couple of years, I am 15, 16 in may. He also said that I would need braces first for about a year.
I was just wondering if it was possible to do this without having braces and just break my jaw? Also how long this procedure would take and how much it would cost? Thanks

My erupting wisdom teeth have made my front otherwise health teeth overlap. Would braces damage my teeth?
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010Q.
Hi, at 29 I have been advised that I have very good teeth, they are strong I have no problems at all and they are all in very good condition with no fillings. However from a young age I was advised that I had too many teeth, which until now although my teeth aren’t particularly straight on top, I was not too bothered because they are in such good condition and I was worried that a brace would damage my teeth, however over the last 6 months or so my wisdom teeth have started to come through causing an overlap of my two front teeth, and increasing discomfort. I realise that I may have to have some form of orthodontic treatment, but I am very nervous about damaging my teeth by having a brace, however I would like to have straight teeth. I would be grateful therefore if you could please advise of the options available and whether my worries are founded. Many thanks in advance.,

Would leaving my missing tooth untreated affect the alignment of my teeth?
Thursday, October 28th, 2010Q.
Hi, I have just had my top furthest back tooth extracted and after doing some research I am worried that this will affect my alignment etc if I leave it missing. What is best, to leave it or to have an implant? Do they do this on the NHS? I am 29 and also do not want it to affect my speech. Many thanks,

My two front teeth have moved forward, is this because of the new lingual brace?
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Q.
Hi, I had an upper lingual brace fitted two weeks ago and had extractions before as my teeth are overcrowded. However, it seems as though one of my front two teeth has moved further forward! is this possible or am I just being paranoid? And how long does it generally take for the gap to close? Would really appreiciate a reply – many thanks,
