I have gum disease, is there any treatment for this?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

I have gum disease with my teeth becoming loose and I have lost several of them. I am also susceptible to abcesses. My dentist reccomends nothing but visiting the hygienist and using Corsydyl paste and mouthwash, which I do, but the problem is not improving. Is there any cosmetic or surgical treatment I can have to improve this problem?

My teeth have relapsed after past orthodontic work, would the Inman Aligner be a good solution?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. Verma,
I used to wear metal permanent braces about 13 years ago. My bottom teeth are fine but my front right tooth has moved forward over the years and the tooth next to it moving behind it. i read about the inman aligner and thought this could perhaps be a solution. In the last couple of years i have had a wisdom tooth come through on that side and wondered whether you think this would stop me being able to have that type of treatment (the wisdom tooth doesn’t cause any problems).
i appreciate your help and time.
kind regards,

Could my braces have changed the shape of my face?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

I am 29yr old male. I have had braces for 1 yr now on lower teeth with 1 extraction-second molar on my left. This was to correct and straighten my teeth. I am noticing a thinning of my face – making it look narrow. Everyone keeps saying ‘you have lost weight’ but I have not. My ortho says it cannot be braces, as only jaw surgery can change my jawline. I am very worried. Is he right? What can I do? He is moving my back teeth to cover the gap from the extraction. Thank you.

Should I have Invisalign treatment to shrink the gap where I had a tooth extracted?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

I had gone through orthodotics treatment when I was around 14-16 years old, and at that time, my 4 pre-molars were removed.

Currently, I am 33 years old, and I recently got my lower left lateral incisor removed due to infection. My dentist suggest me considering invisalign treatment.

Please can you advise if this is an appropriate treatment for me (as i have orthodotic treatment before.)

Thank you very much.
