Hello. I am a 68 year old lady. My crown broke off next to my front teeth so the dentist did my front tooth with two side back teeth which she said would hold in better. Should the plate come half way down my teeth? My bite hits the plate and seems to push the bottom jaw to the side. It doesn’t feel right, it’s putting pressure on my front teeth wich are crowns too. I am really worried and don’t like wearing them. They cost me 290 pounds so what can I do? Thanks for your time.
Hi Dr Marcus, I am 12 years old and I think my teeth went forward or back as when I close them and put my teeth down it feels strange.
Like there is a tooth in the way. I also have 2 teeth growing on top of the gum. When I close my mouth the teeth on the left it feels like one is in the way. Please help me. How do I know if my teeth came forward and how do I get them to look like they are on my top left next to the top big teeth – the one on the left of the big tooth is behind the bottom left teeth? Is this right? Thank you.
Hello Andrew. I’m 14 turning 15 and my teeth are pretty straight for the most part but my incisors are a bit crooked but they look straight. My problem is that I have a misplaced mid-line because I sucked my thumbs for 11 years. I just noticed a couple weeks ago. I measured it and it’s about 3.5mm off. It also is very irritating to bite because the lip also feels weird. My mum pointed out that my face is now a bit asymmetrical. Will my dentist allow me to get braces? I hope I can, I really need this fixed. Thank you on advance for your reply.
After an accident with a horse my teeth were pushed back. I had a hard acrylic mouth guard that the dentist inserted to try to get them to re-root & after a yr I lost it & the teeth started getting sensitive. I had 5 root canals. After talking to many people my father decided we needed to do all 6 front teeth & 6 lower ones so that my teeth weren’t different colours. We decided on dental works because they were the only 1’s that would do all top 6 at once then bottom at once so that they were all from same batch so they would all match. They told us they would do top crowns bottom veneers. A few months the veneers began chipping. I was getting upset & spoke w/a few hygienists where they informed me they should have never put veneers on the bottom. 3 yrs has past, they informed me when I talked w/them about them chipping that I would have to pay out of pocket for them to fix issues as they don’t come w/a warranty. Last month a whole sliver of my top front crown come off. Again they said I would have to pay. At this point I decided I would not pay them & go to a different practice. My appointment is n 3 weeks. Yesterday a whole veneer fell off. I contacted them and started explaining all the issues & that after only 3 years my teeth are falling apart. The dentist that did it was no longer with them. They have agreed to see me and see what we can do. I have a feeling they will only put the veneer back on for free. (It fell off in 1 piece which I still have) I am just wanting feed back on if this is normal and acceptable. Why others have said veneers should not go on the bottom. This has just been awful. We’ve spent $18,000, less than 4 yrs later they are falling apart.
I currently have a fixed appliance on my lingual upper incisors that I have had for at least 10 years. I also have a curved root on one of my central incisors, that seems to be pulling the rest of my incisors up wards, giving my a curved bite, and therefore I am unable to bite properly. I am looking into treatment as I have previously been unsuccessful at my dentist, and am unhappy with not having the full use of my teeth. I am unsure of what treatment I would require, could you please advise me on treatment, and if possible, where would be suitable to go for treatment in Leeds.
Regards.
Since I’ve had the cerec put in I have awful toothache and it feels like it is set too high. Also there is what looks like discoloration at the gum line a the front. It hurts when I bite down. I am on pain killers to relieve the pain. I have a denture plate that attaches to the cerec and I’m unable to wear it. Originally it was loose and would move around so my dentist tightened it and now it feels very tight. Help.
I am really reluctant to go back. He has said I have gingivitis so I booked an appointment with a hygienist who said my teeth and gums were in pretty good shape .HELP !!!
I am a 61 year old female and my teeth have a definite yellow cast. I have had a yellow tinge to my teeth all my life (I think). I have naturally red hair and very pale freckled skin. I have several crowns. I also clench and grind my teeth despite using a nightguard.
Whitening treatments don’t help and I don’t drink coffee, cola etc. I do tend to have dry mouth. I drink fluorinated water.
I have read that yellow teeth can result from thinned dental enamel. If so, is there any restoration treatment to build up and lighten the enamel?
I am concerned that veneers wouldn’t work due to my clenching.
Do you have any suggestions to help with this problem?
Thank you for your help
