Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth to hold them where they are

Friday, April 24th, 2009
Q.
I have been wearing a fixed brace for 6 months now and am really happy with how much my teeth have moved, but my orthodontist has still given no indication of how long I am going to be wearing it. I really want it taken off but don;t want my teeth to move back as soon as it is removed. Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth at any point to hold them where they are, as i want to request this? Or would they have to be at a certain stage before the fixed retainer would work? I am completely happy with my teeth as they are now but am not sure if my orthodontist wants them to have moved before removing the brace. I’d even be happy with a removable retainer if necessary.

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
I had 10 veneers placed on my upper teeth because my front two teeth has white spots. I have had one absyss last year that was not diagnosed despite numerous trips to my dentist until I was in excruiating pain. Last month another veneer chipped, he replaced it with a crown, and now it is absyssed. I also think that my front tooth is infected as they both are killing me. I am calling on Monday but don’t knonw what to do. My dentist will fix the problems free but how much more can I take? What should I do? Is this normal?

is it possible for me to restore my crowded teeth and how can i get a normal set of teeth?

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, When I was 8, I accidentally lost one of my front teeth (the left incisor). For some reason I can’t understand, nobody told me to put a fake tooth in to keep the gap wide enough for future restoration. With time the gap closed. Now I am 21 and I have 1 (long) incisor in the middle of 2 canines. The rest of my teeth are in perfect shape apart for some crowding on my lower jaw due to the missing tooth. Is it possible for me to restore my teeth? How can I get a normal set of teeth? I can put on braces to pull my teeth and recreate the gap to place a tooth but this solution is very long and I won’t be 20 forever. So I’m looking for alternatives that would take less time. I would greatly appreciate any advice Thank you
