I have a twisted front tooth, would a brace correct it?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi, my left tooth ( next to my front left tooth) is turned a full 180 degrees. My dentist says its a big job to re correct, saying he would’nt be able to crown it, therefore having to take the nerve out and going from there. I spoke to an orthodonist about it, and he said a brace would’nt improve it because of how much its turned. What would you suggest?

Thankyou.

My 5 year old son is loosing his enamel. Is there anything we can do?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi there. My 5 year old son is missing enamel off his 2 front baby teeth. His peers are starting to comment and I do not want him to be teased. Our nhs dentist says nothing can be done and they won’t remove which I understand but is there anything that can be done privately? Can they be painted with anything or treated in any other way to improve the colour. I do not want his confidence shaken at such a young age. I have looked at the pearl drops paint on veneer product but it shouldn’t be used under 7 and I couldn’t see a difference on my teeth so don’t think it will make a difference on his. I thank you in advance for any advice.

I have crooked and chipped teeth. What can be done about them?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

my upper left and right teeth have small chips on them and my lower teeth are also like this. Is it possible to have them filed down so they look straight. Also my canine teeth teeth stick out and I was wondering if they could be filed back or if there is any other procedure that would push them back.

I have a reverse overbit and need it corrected. Can I do it on the NHS?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I am turning 18 this summer and starting university away from home this year.
I have a reverse overbite and have previously had braces, however my teeth have relapsed from a period without retainers.
I feel my bite has changed, as I now find it difficult to close my mouth without catching my cheeks in the process and find that my speech has changed as a result.

As a prospective medical student, I feel this will damage my confidence, especially when communicating with my patients and also personally.

I have researched the proceedures available and am aware and prepared for the commitment and post-operative care.
Do you think I am a suitable candidate for corrective surgery, who would I need to talk to, how long will the treatment take and would it be available to me on the NHS?

Thankyou Very much for your time!
