I am experiencing sensitivity with my temporary veneers. Is this normal and when will it stop?

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Andrew, I hope this message finds you well. Im writing with regard to some cosmetic dentistry I have recently had done in the U.A.E – I wonder if you can help. I had temporary veneers fitted on —- and Im expecting my permanent ones to be fitted on 26th oct 10. For the past 8 days I have been experiencing severe sensitivity and discomfort, despite wether Im eating/drink or not, and was wondering if this is normal and to be expected, also in your expert opinion what is the normal expected healing time when having such work done. I very much look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance. Best wishes. ,

Some of my teeth have moved back because I stopped wearing my retainers after braces treatment. Would I need braces again?

Monday, November 1st, 2010
Q.
Hello Andrew, Hope all has been well, I’ve worn braces for 1 year back in 2004 and then were given retainers, I wore them time to time but was a bit of rebel when it came down to them. Years passed and I realised one of my upper front teeth are moving forward and there’s a gap on the side of it next to another tooth (one next to the canine, how the gap is like a slit) And it’s the same situation below aswell, although this gap is bigger. I’m hoping to get them pushed back but does this mean I need to wear braces again? Or would I be given special sort of retainers that push them back and keep them in place? Hope to hear from you soon, Kind regards,
A.

Is there any braces that could move my two front teeth forward, and would it be possible to have a removable brace?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
Hi i have very good teeth with no fillings most are really straight apart from my front two middle top ones just bellow my nose they tend to slant inwards so therefore looks like my two side teeth stick out slightly, i would love to get them pushed forward so there in line with the rest of my teeth, is there any type of brace that i could wear that would correct this problem, also would a removable brace be an option rather than permanent. Thanks for your help kind regards ,

I would like whitening and veneers to improve the look of my teeth after my side teeth were removed to close front tooth gap. Can you help?

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010
Q.
Hi I have a gap between my front teeth and my side teeth were removed so I had braces at 14 and my ‘I’ teeth are now my side teeth. I want all my teeth whitened and either veneers or crowns put on the top 4. I have heard bad reviews on veneers because they can just ping off at any time and this can measure quite costly. I don’t like the idea of crowns because they can look very false. I am very particular about my appearance and take pride in it. I don’t want to make any mistakes but I don’t know what options are available. I want perfectly straight white teeth with no gap. I’m not looking for american style gnashers but I want something I can be proud of. Right now I’m not too confident. Can you help? ,
A.
