Can braces help to cure TMJ and correct teeth alignment?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
I have TMJ. My teeth used to be crowed, but I had the extra teeth removed when I was 20. I am now 41 and my teeth have shifted to fill in gaps from the previous teeth. I have a slight overbite and my teeth on the right side are angling inside my mouth. I have TMJ. Will braces help correct my teeth and possibly cure my TMJ? I have a mouth guard now. Will I need one with the braces? Thanks!,

Am I correct to say that Enlighten did not whiten all teeth?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
I have used the Enlighten whitening system for two weeks at home and have had the hour in surgery boosts but have found that half of each tooth has whitened at the other half (nearest the gum) has not. My dentist told me there was no difference but I insisted that there was and have been given another syringe and been told to continue treatment for another two weeks. Is it safe to continue? Would you have expected better results? What do I say if it doesn’t work again? Many thanks,

Wil NHS fund my implant and braces treatment?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
Im a 21 year old male student, from the age of 12 i have had a crown on one of my top front teeth. Having had many problems from a young age with excesses operations performed by dental students within the london hospital (some leading to complications). Due to this when having my last crown fitted at hte age of 15 i asked to be sedated, when awake i was quickly rushed out with out seeing my smile.. my current crown it is out of line and cuts my mouth regularly when sleeping. It doesn’t meet my gums and leads my mouth to bleed, the back to the crown doesn’t touch my gums (to the point i can get my tong into the gap) my current dentist has confirmed i don’t have a gum infection, more the crown is causing the problems. i have been recommended to look for a implant and braces. Due to the complications and past problems with all past work being undertaken with the NHS i was wondering if there would be any way the NHS would partly fund the work.. also how long would the work take? and a average cost?,

Can I get braces wihout the use of train track braces?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
Im almost 21years old and my top front 4 teeth stick out further than the rest. MY dentist told me that I could have braces when I was younger but said it would be purely for cosmetic reasons and would be quite painful. For that reason I never had them, something I deeply regret. Is there any way of making my teeth look ‘normal’ without the train track braces as I feel im too old for them now and it would not suit for my line of work. I would really be greatful for your response. Many thanks.,

I have been recommended three implants but is this necessary?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
I have a double bridge which needs replacing (according to my dentist). I have been sent to an implant specialist (I have already had an implant in another area) and have been told that not only will I have to be without the four teeth for 6 months (for gum reconstruction) but I will need 3 adjacent implants for these 4 teeth. Would you think it really necessary for me to need 3 implants? I only want it to look as it is now.,
