I have a severe over bite (where the first set of teeth overlap the bottom set completely) because of this both sets of teeth go inwards. My teeth are generally straight however the problem is that both sets need pushing out and my over bite needs to be addressed. I have previously been advised (about 2 years ago) that I am not suitable for Invisalign and that I will indeed need train tracks for about 18 months – 2 years. Is this something you can assist with? I am happy to have train tracks if needed, however I do not want them to be overly visible if that’s okay? Ideally I would like to get booked in ASAP to start treatment. I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards.

I Am Not A Suitable Candidate For Invisalign And Will Need Train Tracks For About 18 Months. Is This Something You Can Assist With?
Tuesday, March 11th, 2014I have a small gap in between my two front teeth following brace treatment, will my retainer fix this?
Thursday, December 6th, 2012Hi Doctor Moore. I had my train track braces removed a few years ago and very rarely wore my plastic removable retainers. My teeth have remained straight but I have a small gap between my front two teeth. Those could be caused by the fact I suck my thumb! I was wondering if I would need to have braces again to close the gap or if wearing my retainer again would close the gap? If I was to give up sucking my thumb would my teeth move again and close the gap? I really don’t want to go back to wearing braces again, would I maybe require a bonded retainer do you think? I can see the gap getting bigger every day and it is worrying me…Thank you for your help. Kind regards.
I have an overbite of about 1.5-2cm. What work would be needed to correct this? Potential costs?
Wednesday, August 29th, 2012Hi, my teeth have always affected my confidence and am looking to have some improvement work but I’d like to know what kind of work would be involved. I have quite a big over bite, my two front teeth stick out about 1.5-2cm away from my bottom teeth if I bite down, I have quite a small mouth and had 4 teeth taken out when I was 15. I also had braces but after the tracks come off I didnt where my retainer (biggest regret) I’d just like to know the work that would be involved and what the costing would be? Thanks you
My son suffers from chronic mouth ulceration, what should we do?
Friday, August 6th, 2010My son has suffered from chronic mouth ulceration since the age of 2. In the last year he has been given a diagnosis of a benzoate allergy and placed on a strick benzoate free diet. He presently requires extensive orthadontic treatment which will require him wearing braces. However we have received a letter today from his consultant informing us that one of the cements used contains debenzoyl, which can degrade into benzoic acid. My son’s allegies have meant that he has not been free from ulceration at any point since the age of 5 and although when keeping strickly to the diet it does reduce the inflamation and ulceration, it never completely clears up. The orthodontist has suggested putting part of the brace on and then wait and see how Fraser copes with this. However, his oral specialist has suggested that invisalign may be a better way to treat my son. Another complication with my son’s condition is that the membrane in his mouth is extremely fragile and any slight knock or rubbing will result in further inflamation and ulceration. On speaking to my son’s orthadontist he has appeared ill-informed and uninterested in questions relating to treatments other than the normal train tracks. I would be grateful it you could provide me with any further information or advice that may help this on going issue with my son.,
