Hello Dr Hughes. I had braces before, but had them removed. During my treatment, my dentist had stripped between my from front two teeth as it was bigger than the next tooth. But after the removal, we felt that although the gap was filled, the bonding between the teeth is still not complete. I mean there is a small surface gap still visible. I am worried about it and want to fix it in the most natural, non-invasive way possible. Kindly help, thank you.
I’ve had braces before and in my opinion were taken off before the teeth were fully ‘perfect’ I have quite yellow teeth and two central veneers which are starting to become uncomfortable as I think I have an over bite a lot of the teeth are fillings but feel gappy, and my gums are tender. Ideally I’m looking for the perfect smile but I would also like to improve the overall heath and sensitivity of my gums and smile. The question I would like to ask is: What work would need to be done and how much would it cost?
Hello there Dr. Moore. I recently had my braces removed, which i have been wearing for 4 years now. I have been having inconsistent appointment with the dentist due to my study schedule and i study pretty far away from the clinic. I had it done at a government clinic, as it it much cheaper. Upon removing the braces, the nurse took a mold of my teeth and i was then informed that i will only be able to receive my retainer about 6 weeks after. Hence, right now i am going through my days without a retainer. I was scared and feeling insecure about my teeth moving out of position as i am not having any form to held my teeth in position, is there anything i can do at the mean time? Will wearing the retainer later on move my teeth back into position if there might be a significant movement of my teeth? I could somehow rather feel that a few of my teeth is moving a little out of position compared to when i took it off 4 days ago, perhaps its the paranoid feeling.
Hope you could give some advice in this and thank you so much in advance.
hi
I am a female 22 yrs old. I have been wearing braces for the past 6 and half yrs. My teeth were croocked and croweded i had 2 teeth taken out from the bottom therefore this would provide the space needed to straighten them. I keep asking my orthodentist when will he remove them he keeps saying not. I have depresses and hate my teeth now as they’re not stright yet. I am also fed up of the pain that comes with. I just want them off and my orthodentist does not undrstand my frustration.
I have not paid for my braces as i got them on the NHS when i was 16. I cannot afford a second opinion. however I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
Kind regards.

Hi i have been to see my dentist where i had 2 fillings and he cleaned alot of tar from my teeth. This was due to having a fixed brace in and it was difficult to keep teeth clean. Now i can holes at the top of my teeth where the gum should be. They look like decay but it just looks like gum missing. Can my gums grow back at all what can i do ive been told to keep them clean can i do anything for my gum to come back 🙁
