I’m having a problem with pressure when my back teeth touch. Is this something that can be addressed with braces?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am female, 24 years old and I was meant to get a brace when I was 12 years old, but it never went ahead. I booked a consultation for September to find out about a Fixed brace to correct some slight overcrowding/crooked teeth (I have already had one consultation). But I am now starting to wonder if I have a problem with my jaw too. My dentist (and the Ortho at my first consultation) told me I have quite a deep overbite (not an overjet), so my top front teeth pretty much cover my lower front teeth when I bite down. I have noticed lately that when I close my bite (make my back teeth touch) I feel pressure on parts of my lower jaw (towards the back of the jaw, near the ear area). It feels as if someone is literally forcing my lower aw back further than feels comfortable. When I release my bite and part my teeth (so that my back teeth are no longer meeting/touching) the pressure is released and feels much more comfortable. I find myself keeping my teeth apart like this most of the day to avoid the discomfort that I experience in my lower jaw when I make my back teeth touch. Does this sound like something that can be fixed with fixed braces? Is it possibly due to my overbite and the fact that my top teeth tilt slightly inwards (towards the inside of my mouth) so then my lower teeth have to go further backwards to fit behind upper teeth, causing my jaw to ache by being too far back. I am finding this rather difficult to explain, hopefully I have made some sense. Kind regards,
A.

What would be the best plan of action to sort out my teeth and get my confidence back?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I suffered with Bulimia for over 10 years from a very early age. Im now 25, have children of my own and I’m currently planning my wedding but dont feel confident smiling in front of a camera, let alone talking to people face to face. All my teeth are visably thinning and discoloured. Ive always had a gap at the front of my teeth that Ive never been happy with but this has appeared to widen because the deterioration of the teeth from behind. I would also need the bottom four (in the centre at the very front of the bottom row) teeth removed as not only are they an eyesore as they are not in line at all with the rest of the teeth in my mouth and are in poor condition. I dont know what to do, I am constantly left with a reminder of the illness I have overcome and I would just like to get my confidence back again and completely leave this chapter behind me. What would be my best plan of action? Is there any UK clinic that specializes in helping those recovering or recovered from Eating disorders. I have not been to the Dentist for a very long time as I’m afraid of the news I will be told and the likelyhood I wont be able to afford to fix it. I look forward to your response, thanks for your time.,
