I had removed plate brace fitted and it has made my front teeth overlap is it normal?

Q. Hi,i dont know if you can help but, a few months back i had a removable plate brace fitted and it has made my two front teeth overlap!Is this normal?? Thanks

A. There might be too much pressure on the denture pushing your natural teeth.  Go and see your dentist and see if can be adjusted.  Teeth can also move if the bone holding them is weak.

hi,

i have problem with front lower overlapping teeth. the situation is.

1. i have always had a very strong, full, short tongue TIE all my life untill recently.
2. as my jaw started, growing to accomodate my forth coming wisdom teeth – this was’t smooth because of the tongue tie as it was pulling my jaw in.
3. the result were overlapped lower front incissors.
4. as the tongue tie was so strong it managed to stop my last two wisdom teeth from emerging. they have been emerging so slowly that at 45 they are less than half ptrotruding.
5. as the next push comes for thier protrusion – i get extreme pain in the overlapping incissors. this is compounded because my jaw is no longer growing at my age now.

* this is happening right now – one of the incissors is so angled that i feel it will just break off. it is also very painful. with so much of my last wisdom teeth yet to emerge, i think i will have to do something llike have the most angled incissor removed.
what do you suggest, remove incissors?
if i have one/both removed what should i do with the resulting gap to restore my bite?

i think dentistry is so much like engineering !

thank you.
