Why has my bite suddenly changed?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:42:28 +0000

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,

A. It is difficult for me to give you guidance on your jaw matter without seeing you in person and perhaps performing a few tests.I would be more than happy to see you regarding this.Justin glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:06:18 +0000

Q. Hello , i am 22 years old, i am in london for about 3 years and i am asylum seeker i dont work and i cant work but can you tell me how much is fees to straighten my upper front teeth for inman aligner treatment? and and if its affordable can i pay treatment fees in installments? and if not then can u tell me which is fast and easy way to straighten my teeth? and can u suggest any doctor who do inman aligners treatment in india? waiting for your reply . Thank you.

A. Thanks for your questions, the cost for the Inman aligner will vary between practices, but I am currently offering this service from £999. Many cosmetic dental practices do offer payment plans, but to the best of my knowledge, you (or your partner) would need to be in employment. The Inman aligner is one of the most cost effective and quickest treatments available to straighten teeth. I would suggest, that you research providers in India on the internet. Kind Regards.

There are many practices who will offer free initial consultations, to allow you to discover your options and the associated prices without any financial commitment. Many of these practices will also have the facility to ofer payment plans such as, interest free credit to help you spread the cost of the treatment. I hope that this will be of assistance bu turge you to contact you again should you require further information.

What is the cause for my uneven teeth growth?

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:46:06 +0000

Q. Hi, my teeth are quite small for my age. i’m 16 and only noticed this 1 year ago after an orthodontist pointed it out to me. My molars are maybe 2-3mm out of my gums and my other teeth are less than an inch out of my gums. is this strange or common, furthermore, my to front teeth overlapped as i grew up. is this related?

A. Size of teeth and crowding/spacing are related. The size of your teeth oftens relates to your general body size.

Could you advice me on straightening of teeth?

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:45:28 +0000

Q. Hello Doc, I am 34 years old and I have a primary tooth between my front tooth and the #2. it protrudes infront the #2, which is still there but twisted behind it. the primary tooth is also shaking slightly. I’ve been to the dentist and i was told i might have to do an extraction. the dentist also gave me this explanation for my top row i hope you can understand. 432112234 the 1s are the two front teeth and they count in both directions as you can see, i have two #2s on the right one of them being the primary tooth… my smile is not one im very proud of so is there any advice you can give me in terms of getting it straightened out? thanks a mil!

A. Its difficult to give you exact ideas without seeing you but one option might be removing the extra tooth and then having them straightened with something like invisalign.

Does expanders create gaps and causes teeth to come forward?

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:14:57 +0000

Q. Dear Dr., im wearing expanders (upper jaw) and suppose to remove it next week.then il be getting my bracers to push my teeth back which are abit forward earlier.. but my front teeth have come EVEN MORE FORWARD now and looks bad than earlier. so my quetion is, other than creating gaps between teeth, does the expanders causes teeth to come forward?can this be corrected?

A. Hi many thanks for your email, the expander will expand the whole jaw so yes initially this will cause all the teeth to move outwards. the brace will then be placed to then bring the teeth all back into allignment and close the gaps, this should then solve the problem. hope this is helpful.

I m 20 Will I be missing two teeth as they hv turned black?

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:15:53 +0000

Q. Yesterday my two front lower teeth moved and when i got home i notice their where turning black from the bottom and is soo weird because my teeth are healthy soo my question is am i going to be a 20 year girl missing two teeth?:(

A. It may be that you have hit these these causing them to become lose. Otherwise it maybe that over time your teeth have moved and you have only just noticed.
Please book an appointment with a dentist.
