Are there any alternatives available for my daughter other than jaw surgery?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
Hiya, my 17 year old daughter has an overbite and has been told she will need jaw surgery before anything can be done to straighten her teeth. She really doesn’t want to have to have any surgery and I noticed in one of your replies you said that the jaw continues to grow until the age of 18 to 19. Is there an alternative to correct her jaw such as blocks or she mentioned something about rubber bands that some of her friends had. We did ask our orthodontist last year but he seemed to think that it wouldn’t work as she is fully grown now. She desperately would like to give this a go rather than undergo surgery, what do you think, might it work? Please help? Many thanks, Diana.,

How do I get a payment scheme for braces?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Hello I am 26 and have a overbite, also my tooth next to the front ones has moved in towards my mouth. I had a brace when I was a child and several teeth taking out. But I lost my retainer after a few months. When I went back to my orthodontist to ask for a new one, she sent me away. I see my teeth moving slowly as the months past. I have become so depressed as people often comment on them. I no longer go to social events and even get dread going shopping or taking my child to school, and never stop to chat to people. I can not afford to pay thousands on getting my teeth straightened, as I am a single parent without the kind of income needed for braces. Also I do not have very good credit. Please how do I get a payment scheme when I can not even get a catalogue? Many thanks.,

What can be done about one crooked tooth?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Q.
I have a back tooth (the one that is next to my wisdom teeth that is crooked. I had the wisdom tooth(this was the tooth behind it) and the tooth in front of it removed because of decay so now that tooth has become crooked. Is there a way to straight that one tooth? I’m preparing to get a bridge placed there but that tooth must be straightened first. My dentist said that I could have it filed down or that I could go to the ortho and get braces. Would I need a full set of braces just for the one tooth?,

What treatment is suitable for canines that are forward of other teeth?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
My bottom row of teeth is almost perfectly straight, but on the the top row the canines (I think) are further forward than my other teeth. Also, due to an accident when I was 11 (I am now 23) two of my teeth are chipped and one of the front ones has the bottom section missing and is capped. As such, I don’t know if it would be worth having my teeth straightened if you could still see the caps, or what my other options would be? Please advise? Much appreciated.,
