Is there a possibility to shave the sides of canine Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I’ve had surgery to expose both canines in my palette and a brace to move them forward, however the spaces aren’t large enough for them to move into the correct position. Both caninees sit in place, but behind the natural position. Is it possible to attach a false tooth (or a thick veneer?) to the front of each of the real canines rather than to have a bridge or brace? Or would it be a possibility to shave the sides of each canine and both adjacent teeth on each side to give the canines room to move forward without the removal of any upper molars and use of a brace to create space? Many thanks

What is the ideal overbite Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Patel, I have had braces now for about 2 years and my orthodontist plans to take them off in a few weeks. I feel I my upper teeth still overlap my bottom teeth too much. I discussed it with her but she just said it was within normal range. A lot of pictures I have been seeing of people that’s had braces have a more flat facial profile. What is the ideal overbite? Should my mustache area protrude out farther than my lower lip area?

It depends on the position of … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Ive a crossbite will invisalign help me out on this

Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I was wondering if you could help. I think I have a crossbite; my teeth dont sit properly against each other, and if i try toi, my bottom front teeth go behind my top teeth, although my jaw is quite forward so doesnt seem like an underbite. This makes my mouth curve down making me look unhappy even though I’m not, and makes my mouth and jaw look small compared to the rest of my face. I was wondering if invisilign might help this, or surgery, or if this is even something that can be fixed. It feels like my jaw is out of line but I guess I’m use to it so havent done anything. thanks a lot foryour time

Is operation necessary for a very bad over bite?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
I have a really bad over bite due to year of thumb sucking as a child. I also have a genetic problem which is making the overbite worse, and a very bad lisp due to this. My dentist has recommended either braces or an operation to fix this (he thinks the operation is more likely) Is this something they offer on the NHS. Do you have any other suggestions?

A.
Yes you need to see an orthodo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What would be the treatment for having invisible braces?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi dr rob…. I am now 27 and had a number of removable braces from the age of 14-16 than a fixed brace from 16 till I was nearly 19. I was really happy with the results, but shortly after having this removed my bottom teeth all crossed over again. I did visit my orthodontist about this but told ne at the time all they could do would be to file each tooth down then put a fixed brace on again. I was concerned about the health of my teeth filing them so did not go ahead. Since I have remained unhappy with my teeth but thought there was nothing that could be done, until I heard recently about invisable braces. I would like to look into this but feel that as the job wasn’t done properly in the first place that to pay for this now would be unfair. My top teeth have now also moved since I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and now I am feeling unhappy with these also. I was also told I would never get any wisdom teeth!! What would be your suggestion for how I go treatment from here?? Kind regards
