Q.
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.,

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.

Hi, I had an upper lingual brace fitted two weeks ago and had extractions before as my teeth are overcrowded.

Q.
Hi, could you help me My bite became open around jan, for no apparent reason. My front teeth stopped meeting and my back molars started meeting, this led to clenching, then ear noise and now my head goes into a locked spasm, and my jaw and occupit muscles, and the only way to release this is to tap on my teeth with my nail whilst rotating my neck. The muscles seem to get hard and snappy, then sort of sticky. Every one has a different diagnosis. I can find no reference to this sort of release with teeth tapping anywhere. I can also release the spasms by tapping my head/scalp. I feel like a freak and it is affecting my health badly. I was advised that having the molars at the back reduced in size my bite could be re-aligned. I have amalgams so they would need to come out first, I am wary of this as it seems more risky than building up a bite, if it didn’t work or made matters worse…what then. I need to know what is going on and why my bite changed to begin with, and why this situation is really affecting my sense of wellbeing. any advice would be very appreciated,
