I have been wearing a retainer, but my teeth feel loose. It’s been three months since I told my dentist and it’s not getting better. Any advice?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
Hi There… I have been back and forth to a dentist for the past 4 years now having my teeth straightened. I now have to wear a retainer at night. However, i have noticed that my teeth are loose and wobbly. My dentist says that this will settle down, but it has been 3 months now and there is no sign that this is getting any better… Is this normal / common. How long will it take to get better and if it doesn’t are there any other corrective treatments that i can have…? Thanks,

Q.
Hello I recently had my inman alighner removed and I am happy with the results. My main concern however is that my teeth are going to move from their new position and start to go back.

Can to recommend a solution to correct problems I’m having with front teeth?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister, I used to suck my thumb as a child, and when my upper wisdom teeth came out, my front teeth got pushed forward. I had the wisdom teeth removed, and was given retainers, which I wore for almost 3 years. My problem is that my front two teeth are positioned a little lower than the rest, especially on the right side of my mouth, where my incisor sits above the rest of the teeth, as it began to grow over my milk tooth. So when I laugh, my teeth are not perfectly aligned in height. I also feel as though my teeth protrude just a fraction over my bottom lip when i smile. I am now 24. Could you please tell me whether there is a solution to this at all, and if it involves braces, a quicker way of correcting this? Thank You.,
A.
Yes braces may be the best cos… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My daughter had braces fitted in January and swollen gums and other problems soon followed. Was this an allergic reaction?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
My daughter (10) had braces fitted in January. After a week or so she developed small marks, resembling cold sores, on either side of her mouth.They gradually have become much larger and unsightly. I have been told they are not cold sores but maybe connected with the braces. She also has very swollen gums. I am very strict with her oral hygiene and we do everything as we have been directed but the problems is not improving. Last week our orthodontist removed her braces and asked us to return in 1 month. Her mouth and gums have started to cleared up since the metal bar was removed. Could she be allergic to the metal or could it be how we are taking care of her teeth?,
A.
I doubt its an allergy, just r… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
