My lateral incisors and canine stick are protruded what treatment is available?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I’m 19 and I was wondering was cosmetic treatments would be suited for myself. My upper lateral incisors and canine teeth are sticking out that makes them look a little raised due to them coming in before my baby canines had been removed. The rest of my upper teeth are aligned correctly however they slightly slant in. Bottom teeth are fine, what treatments are available? Thanks.

I have abscess above my 4 front teeth should i get them extracted?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009
Q.
I am 28 and my dentist has just told me that after 2 x-rays that I have abcesses above my 4 top front teeth. He says at the moment the abcess appears to be draining into the mouth but will get worse in time. He says that it is unlikely the teeth can be saved and will need to come out and be replaced by a removable plate. The teeth cause me no problems at present. He says he can refer me to the hospital to see what they say if I want. Should I just accept my dentists reccommendation and have the teeth out now or wait until they cause me grief. Or should I ask to be referred to the hospital? Also I’d much rather have dental implants rather than a plate but he made no mention of this. Is this an option? Obviuosly I wouldn’t mind normally but having to have the top 4 front teeth out in a row is rather a shock.

It might be a good idea to get… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had braces years back and now crooked should i get braces fixed again?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Andrew Moore My teeth started to move only a few months after i had finished six months of wearing a removable brace and before this a fixed brace and night brace during a year and a half. This was when i was about ten , i am 38 now,my front teeth are quite big compared to what my baby teeth were like and so i have always had a problem with over crowding. As my teeth are quite crooked at the front, they over lap, do you think i would benifit from having a removable or fixed brace again could it help to straighten my front teeth or would my teeth end up crooked again. My bottom teeth are also crooked but i did not have a brace as i was told at the time that my teeth would eventualy straighten out but this did not happen. Thank you for your time and help
