Can you suggest a treatment that can move my teeth back into place as quickly as possible?

Monday, September 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I am getting married in November and I had braces approx 4 years ago, but after having specifically requested from my dentist a wire to be attached to the back of my teeth, my dentist refused and told me a retainer was much more effective. Unfortunately I did not wear my retainer as I should have as I was in a customer facing job so my teeth have moved slightly – and mainly the front 2 which is really bothering me. I am wondering if there is any way of having a plate or similiar constructed to push the teeth back into place, it really is quite minor as when I put my retainer back it only has about 3mm gap from stopping it clicking back into place. Can you please suggest any methods that would assist before November other than veneers? Many thanks,
A.

If I had damon braces would the protrusion be noticeable?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi! I have moderate to severe crocked teeth at the top and bottom. I was told that with the Damon Q braces I would get straighten teeth and a wider smile. However, with the treatment my top teeth would be protruded between 4 and 6 millimetres.. It could be up to 6,7 milimiters. Would this protrusion be horrible and be very noticeable, when I have a straight face, when I smile or talk? Do you have photographs which shows different degrees of protrusions? Is it better to have crooked teeth or protruded teeth ? Thank you.,
A.
Only you can decide whether it… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
