What treatment is there for uneven teeth?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi, My front two upper teeth are not symmetrical as one in shorter than the other. The reason for this is as when i was younger the left one got chipped whihc was privately fixed in my teens. I think the dentist did bonding as it was a very small minor chip. This has left me with my left tooth being perfect but my right being slightly shorter and not straight. What are my options and can i get an approximate cost for the treatment? I was looking at veneers but i think that may be a little too much, or may be not…,

After my wisdom teeth were removed I had facial pain

Monday, January 4th, 2010
Q.
In May of this year I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the age of 37. I knew there would be risks but I wasn’t prepared for what I would go through. Shortly after surgery I noticed that the right side of my face had changed a little, it was a little sunken in more than the other side. I went back to my oral maxillofacial specialist to make sure that my new xrays didn’t show any deviations. After 1 hour of waiting for the new xrays I was told there were no devations. I’ve had MRI’s done, a CT Scan, and currently I am on Short Term Disability for a military curvature in my neck. The MRI’s and CT’s came back normal. I thought that this was all due to the military neck but am not so sure anymore since my facial difference is even more apparent now. It is now December and I am at a loss now. I want to see another Oral Maxillofacial specialist but am scared because of what happened to me with the other. The symptoms I got in the beginning were facial pain only on the right affected side. I got some nausea, and a radiating pain in the back of my ear, on the same side of course. I am scared and don’t know what to do. I also get neck pain, and this is what led me to the chiropractors. Thanks in advance for your answer.,

I am wearing permanent retainers would my teeth still move

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hello. I am 23. I got braces on back in December 2007, and I got my lower ones off in January 2009 and my upper ones off sometime in february 2009. I have a permanent retainer on my front bottom six teeth, as well as one on my upper four front teeth. I was given a retainer to wear nightly on the top and bottom. During the summer I kind of forgot, but now I wear it all the time when I go to bed. I went to the dentist about 3 weeks ago. Ever since then I feel like my front four teeth are moving. They dont look like, but they move slighty. If you know what I mean. But it looks to me like my tooth beside my front tooth is moving away, about to leave a gap. Maybe I am paranoid. But people have told me that it cant happen with a permanent retainer. I need your help!! 🙂

Can I fix the gap in the back of my teeth consider plaque?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hello, If your reading this, THANK YOU for taking the time to answer my question. Ever since my last dental visit I noticed this gap in the back of my four bottom front teeth. Before it started to bother me I noticed a white lining around the bottom of my teeth (just on the bottom four in the front) It wasn’t until the other day that it started to bother me really bad. My tongue will NOT stop playing with the gap in the back of my two front teeth. I hope I didn’t make it worse by trying to figure out what it was. I can stick my fingernail between the gap and under my teeth where the white lining was on my teeth. I think I picked the white stuff off. My guess, it would be plaque.(I thought that stuff was hard to get off) How much would I be looking at to fix the gap in the back of my teeth? AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME YOU WOULD BE HELPING ME SO MUCH WITH A REPLY.
