I have a missing 2 teeth from birth, (its the second tooth next to my big front tooth on each side)
all my teeth was moved together so no gaps were left, this is when I was small whilest living in a different country. I have had braces put in for the last 2years and 5 month.
The dentist took my baby teeth out , which were behid my canines. Now the orthodontist was meant to move my canines into the corect place, which is almost finished, but she created masive overbite. ( which I didnt have before), my top teeth completely covers the lower ones. She basickly moved my front teeth forward so much to creat the gap for a bridge, not moving my canines much. I do not like it , Shouldn`t she fix this? Most people would have braces put to correct what she created.
Is there any chance I can change to another orthodontist. Unfortunatelly my dentist send me to this one even though I should have been reffered to dental hospital and have my treatmet for free & done be top orthodontist.
Please can you tell me what I can do? Can I go to dental hopital to have it corected?
Many thank.

How can I correct a cross bite where my lower jaw is stronger than my upper jaw?
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011 I have a cross bite and my lower jaw is stronge than my top. Its not very prominent but to me my teeth look uneven.I saw one dentist who said i coud have invisalin lite to treat the front area or full set to widen out my smile. i saw a 2nd dentist and they said full set only . Then finally I saw a third who said invisalign is not for me as will nned brace. He said that whilst my teeth will be straight they may not sit comfirtably so must cosider actual bracr instead. I am so confused. The first dentist who advised invisalign lite or full smile is a Platinum dentist and comes recommended. What should I do ?

Besides wearing an Essix and bonded retainer what else can I do to keep my teeth in position?
Monday, March 14th, 2011Mark, I have some questions regarding keeping teeth straight after orthodontic procedures and would be really grateful if you could answer them for my records!
1) When you straighten teeth and the process is complete, is it realistic to say that you can retain them for life using Essix and bonded retainers? Although I finished my treatment 7 years ago, I’ve noticed that although I wear my Essix retainer 3 x a week, my lower incisors get tender and keep spacing apart back and forth. This makes me really nervous knowing that despite my commitment to retention, my teeth can still move – I like them the way they are!
2) Does the quality of Essix and bonded retainers affect the teeths retention and if so, how can we be sure that we get quality retainers to keep the teeth straight?
3) As many of us live well into our 80’s and beyond, when we have orthodontic treatment when we are younger, can we really only have it done once for life? I don’t really want to repeat orthodontic treatment just because i’m going to get older but like your philosophy I believe a good smile throughout our life is worth investing in so I want to keep mine that way. Can we really keep the same results we get when we are in our 20’s in our 80’s too?
4) As I believe retention is a lifetime commitment, I want to keep my teeth straight as best I can but I know we can’t keep with the same orthodontists for life (as they retire) so are we still able to have retention appliances remade for us by other orthodontists elsewhere down the line of life? What should we do if our teeth do shift and we see a change and we don’t have an orthodontic practice anymore?
5) And finally, is there a way we can stop our teeth shifting apart from wearing our retainers religiously? I know our teeth shift with age but can we really defy the process?
I’m just thinking of the future as my teeth are top priority for me so your advise would be a gem! Thanks
