Friday, April 3rd, 2009Is it possible for gaps to close naturally
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Q.
My center incisers have always been nice, when i was younger i had gaps on both sides (between incisers and lateral incisers). throughout the years on began to close to a size i can tolerate. although one remains to stay the same size. I am 15 and have yet to get my 3rd molars. is it possible for this gap to close naturally like the other? with the growth of my third molars do this (if they dont have to be removed)?

I have a slight over bite and my teeth are a bit crowded towards the lower front, however my concern is my front lower tooth which is overlapping

I feel I have a slight over bite and my teeth are a bit crowded towards the lower front. However my concern is my front lower tooth.( I think its 24/central incisor)Its overlapping. What sort of treatment would you recommend since it is a minor concern being just one tooth.

My son will be 9 years old in couple of month’s time and still there is no sign of any upper permanent teeth
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Q.
When my son was 2 years and 8 months old his 4 front teeth were pulled as his teeth were chipped and yellowish (may be because he was breast fed till he was over 2 years) and during that period he also had a fall from a swing and broke two his front teeth. After that he would complain about the pain. So we took him to the dentist ,took his X-ray and then the dentist advised us that if we leave his Milk teeth those might affect his permanent set and so we had to pull out his four milk teeth. His lower teeth were all good. Well, now my son will be 9 years old in couple of month’s time and still there is no sign of any upper permanent teeth. We had his X rays done and the dentist said that since he still haven’t lost any of his lower milk teeth we have to wait. Just a month ago his lower tooth is bit wobbly and just last week we noticed that another tooth has started to come out at the back of the wobbly tooth. So can you please advise what can be done for this? Will my son get his permanent teeth? Is there any replacement that can be done? Please suggest. Thankyou

I still don’t like the shape and size of the crowns what are my options
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Q.
Hi, When I was 20 I had crowns fitted to my two front upper teeth following an accident. The whole process was very traumatic and took many many months as I was under the care of a London Teaching Hospital. It was in the 1960’s and I am now 60 yrs old. I have never been happy with the look and think the crowns are too big. I would like a better look and smile ( though not hollywood dazzling!). My own local dentist suggested whitening which I had done 2 years ago- but I still don’t like the shape and size of the crowns. Could I achieve a better effect quickly and easily with replacement crowns? I wanted veneers but I understand they don’t work if teeth have been replaced by crowns already. thanks
