Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Q.
I am 33 years old and I have 8 months that I got braces . My doctor told me that in 1 and half year my teeth should be corrected. My concern is that all my teeth are moving, EXCEPT MY UPPER CANINE TEETH ( the upper canine teeth are littlle bit up but not extremely high ) however i haven’t seen yet at least a little bit of improvement on my teeth that are moving. . another extra concern is when i have the rubber bands of my brances changed i never feel the typical pressure and not pain at all comparing as the first time i got the braces, every time i got the braces’ rubber changed i never feel the pressure or pain. is that normal? TWO QUESTIONS: do canine teeth take longer to move down than the rest of teeth? should i feel pain and pressure on my teeth everytime i have the rubber band of my braces changed? how long is estimated in my age to have the teeth corrected with braces?? Please advice,
A.

I was told that I need a metal wire to avoid relapse but I’d need it for 10-15 years! Please advise me.

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I am looking into the 6 month smile braces, however, I was informed that after treatment it is very highly that I will have a metal wire put in behind my teeth to avoid relapse. I was told I would have to keep this wire for anything from 10-15 years!! I have never heard of anyone having this to avoid relapse, even after having braces as an adult. Perhaps I should therefore be looking at more traditional braces? Please advise, as this has really put me off having any form of cosmetic treatment. Many thanks,
A.
