Tuesday, September 1st, 2009Please advice me on lowering the floor of the mouth and building up mandibular band
Monday, August 24th, 2009Q.
Dear Sir, I’ve been “selected” for a procedure that I am not familiar with and want to find out more information…I have been waiting for approval though a county dental facility to have the rods or implants for witch the denture can be attached to…My oral surgeon called and said that while I wait for the OK for those rods/ implants..He would like to perform something..I am not sure of the exact label for the surgery..it involves Lowering the floor of my mouth..? and building up mandibular area..they want to take a skin graft from my buttocks and use it as a graft for my mouth..They want to do this because my lower jaw was without a denture for 8 years..not that I didn’t have one but got poor dentistry at the time and it did not fit and cut me badly..result..stopped using lower denture to my detriment. Does any of this sound familiar to you..I am 56 years old and in fairly good health in spite of wheel chair status…part of the reason I am in a wheel chair and lost my teeth was because eight years ago I was misdiagnosed as having end stage breast cancer to the bone…I didn’t though but was placed in a Morphine induced comatose state for a year..till they figured out their mistake and withdrew the medications…however I lost most of my teeth..then when I woke up I had to have the rest of them removed…I need some direction here..I am scared to go under anesthesia for 2 hours! In addition I need to know the possible side effects for such a procedure. He said it would be that long…scares me when you consider all of the medical mistakes I have endured in one life time…maybe I am over thinking this..but I need to do research..But don’t no where to turn..he did say this procedure was a common one before implants…what is he talking about..I will have further instruction next week when I go in but want to be educated enough when I go to ask the right questions..Can you please direct me to some educational material..I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

I have croocked teeth, one of my front teeth overlaps
Sunday, March 29th, 2009Q.
I have croocked teeth, one of my front teeth overlaps on the other and it is very noticable. My overlapping teeth makes me self confident and at my age, im 15 by the way, i feel that its too late for me to be wearing braces, i dont want to walk around with metal all over my mooth.Is there another option for me to straighten my teeth without having to wear braces?

Do I need to get a root canal done on a teeth that should be crowned
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Q.
Hi, I have two root canals on my front teeth which have of course become discoloured I am going to have them crowned. Now my question is my other front tooth, it is healthy but as I call it “bucked” all my teeth are straight other then this one. I was thinking about crowning it but my dentist told me it must be root canaled first, I hate the idea of killing off a perfectly good tooth for cosmetic reasons really. I’m worried that later on I will be regretting this. My other two teeth had to be root canaled due to poor dentistry, I’m alittle worried I really want to keep my teeth : ). Any info greatly appreciated thank you for your time.

How long does it take for invisalign to respond to a query and what is the data (photos and moulds) that is need to be provided to them?
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Q.
I am using invisalign, I had 7 upper trays and 13 lower trays. I started the course back in June 2008, and finished my uppers in Sepetember. I finished my lowers last month, December. Before starting the whole invisalign procedure, my upper teeth were quite straight anyway, apart from my front right tooth was a bit further back than the rest. Getting this level with the rest of my upper teeth was my main reason for choosing invisalign, as these teeth are seen more than the rest. My bottom teeth are less visible when I talk naturally, or smile, but I thought I may as well get these straightened too, as they were pretty crooked. Ever since tray 5 of my uppers I sensed that the tooth I wanted aligned was not going to make it. I spoke to my orthodontist who told me to wait til I had finished all the trays before I get too concerned. Then after tray 7 (the last upper tray), I saw him again, and told him what I had suspected – my top teeth were not aligned. He told me to wait until I have finished my lower trays, and to keep wearing my upper tray as much as possible. Well I did this, and I went to see him last week as I have finished all trays now. My bottom teeth are 80% there, but not how I anticipated them to turn out. It is mainly my front lower tooth being more prominent than the rest. I am worried my ortho does not know what to do next – he keeps fobbing me off and brushing my concerns under the carpet, and claims my teeth are fine to him. He admits my top tooth is slightly further back than the rest, and claims this is because it is less “bulbous” than the rest of my teeth. He says he plans to contact the invisalign company to ask them if more trays are possible for me. He took no photos of my teeth to show them my latest results, and says he should have an answer for me in the next 2 -4 weeks!!! How does it take so long??? So in the meantime I have to keep wearing the trays. Has anyone had similar issues? What should the next step be? I suspect my botton prominent tooth needs shaving a bit to allow the rest of my teeth to come in line, and want my top tooth to be aligned with the rest. Thanks

Correct overlapping teeth
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009Q.
Firstly my front two teeth overlap a little and i would like to know how that could be sorted. Secondly i wanted to know about filing down my teeth, because they do not look in line like they should. Any advice would be great. Thanks

i have visible gaps in my upper teeth
Friday, March 20th, 2009Q.
Hi I am 17 and have visible gaps in my teeth (mainly upper teeth) and I really want fast orthodontics to help close these gaps. I read about Inman alligners and wanted to know if they are effective on teeth with gaps? I cant afford braces and really want to sort my teeth out. Also I live in Berkshire, what is/are the closest orthodontics (that do the Inman alligners) to here? Thanks in advance.
