Is there any less obtrusive braces other than regular metal braces
Friday, December 18th, 2009Q.
Hi Dr Caplan My daughter is 18, she has quite a severe prognathia – she has been advised she will need a mandibuloplasty which she is very prepared to have. Her main concern relates to the bracing afterwards – she had a consultation last year with an orthodontist who advised she would need a metal brace – an invisible would not be appropriate. She’s off to uni next september and the bracing is her biggest concern. Are you able to say if there are less obtrusive brace, perhaps even an option after a few months – if this were outwith the NHS we would be prepared to pay ourselves Regards

Are the crowns the only solution for my strange bite
Friday, December 18th, 2009Q.
Dear Dr. Caplan I have a strange bite where my teeth only touch at the very back. I have had this since childhood and have learnt to compensate accordingly (no problems eating etc.). I am now 34 and my new dentist advised there are too choices, surgery – which I would rather avoid especially since the reults are not a given and secondly to crown the teeth and create a new bite. This would mean crowning 10 teeth on the top and ten on the bottom. My dentist says it would change the way I speak (get rid of my slight lisp) and correct my bite and prevent it worsening over time and over-crowding of the teeth. Are crowns the right solution? 20 crowns seems very extensive and no doubt expensive! What problems could I forsee? Will I develop problems in the future if I do not do this? How long with crowns last? Thank-you!

What are the pros and cons of having posts added to root canals?
Friday, December 18th, 2009Q.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having posts added to root canals? If it is not absolutely necessary, would it be wiser to wait? At what age do dentists start advising people to add posts? I have had a few front crowns for a few decades now. Thanks!!

All my incisors need straightening is Inman aligner an option?
Friday, December 18th, 2009Q.
Hi Julian My lower teeth have gaps between them and the central incisor’s are crooked. All the incisor’s need straightening and moved closer to the canines. Is Inman Aligner able to help with this? Also on my upper teeth my central incisors have a gap between them and one has a chip. Would Veneers be the best option to resolve this? Then could I have some bonding on the lateral incisors so they blend well? Is it possible to have the upper teeth treatment done as I wear the brace to repair the lower teeth? Thanks again in advance

Is it normal for my gums to bleed heavily after a normal dental cleaning?
Friday, December 18th, 2009Q.
Is it normal for my gums to bleed heavily where my back molar is after a normal routine dental cleaning? It’s going on two days with the bleeding and blood clotting. Was there something the dental hygienist did wrong?
