My daughter has 4-6 milk teeth and is worried they will soon fall out and leave her with gaps. What would be the best course of action?

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
Q.
My daughter has 4-6 milk teeth in her top jaw and near the front,she had been attending an orthodentist since she was 7yrs old t they saw her at 6monthly intervalsbut every time, they decided to leave things until the teeth fell out naturally. Then when she was 16 and just about to start college they said they wanted to take all the milk teeth out and see what happened of course my daughter was upset and couldn’t face college with the prospect of gaps in her teeth so she refused the treatment and we heard no more from the orthodentist. Daughter is now 19 and seems to be anxious about these teeth and the what will happen when they do come out, she also thinks they look unsightly and this is affecting her confidence. I am trying to persuade her to face up to the problem and see another orthodentist to see what can be done now but as I am a lone parent she is very worried about the costs and that she may have gaps whilst the treatment is being done.I also had this problem and had orthodentic treatment at my local hospital when I was in my 20’s I ended up with a crown and a bridge which are both ok,but think I would want something better for my daughter. What do you think would be the best course of action?how do we get referred to a hospital orthodentist?,

Dentist has recommended clear fixed braces for my irregular bite, but could I instead have something like veneers or crowns?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
i am writing hoping you can give me some advise. i have visited an orthodontic dentist and they have the recommended the following treatment for me. This is what i was told i have an irregularity of the top teeth and irregularity of the bottom teeth. when the teeth bite together the top front teeth are prominent than average this called an increased overjet. My overjet is 5mm. The vertical overlap of the front teeth is increased. The top front teeth are centred and the bottom front teeth are across to the right. The side teeth do not mesh together perfectly. My examination of the jaw shap shows the bottom jaw is smaller than average such that in profile the chin is slightly receding. X rays confirmed that i have a number of missing teeth. The x ray also shows that the upper right second preomalr is impacted and unerupted. I can have fixed clear braces for the best results but would like to know if there is alternative treatment like veneers crowns etc,
