My Teeth Have Relapsed After Braces Treatment. I’m Scared They Will Relapse Again Due To My Tongue Thrusting. What Can I Do?

Friday, March 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel,
I had a bad thumb sucking habit until I was 15. I am 22 now.

I had braces when I was 16 to correct my overbite but my gap never completely closed. My teeth relapsed a bit but are still not as bad as they were before the treatment.

However I am still not happy with my teeth and wanted braces again to pull my teeth down. I am scared that they will relapse due to my tongue thrusting. I normally swallow by pushing tongue forward behind my front to teeth or even touching my lower lip.

I have tried to find places that correct this or provide treatment but have been unsuccessful. I am based in the Midlands and would really appreciate help and guidance.

Thanks, I hope to hear from you in the near future.

I Need Braces, But I Don’t Want My Teeth Extracted. Is There Any Other Treatment That Could Help Me?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I am a college student, I’m 19 years old and I don’t actually have extremely bad teeth but the major problem is that my upper jaw is a bit out. I even asked for braces from the dentist but he said that braces are possible only after 5 extractions, but I don’t wish to extract my teeth. I tend to hesitate when I smile. My teeth aren’t very long. They are white, short and clustered but not too much overcrowding. Could you please suggest something to help me? Thanks.

How Long Does Veneer Treatment Last And Is It Painful In Any Way?

Monday, March 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I have a question for you. How long do dental veneers last? And do you think it is worth having them? My teeth are quite discoloured and not very straight. Would this be a good method compared to let’s say braces. I was considering getting braces but then I was told about this option. Are the veneers permanent, or do they not last very long? How long will the procedure normally take and is it painful in any way? If you could give me a quote that would be great.

Thank you.

I Don’t Like My High Lip-line! What Can Be Done? Does This Come Under Gum Contouring?

Friday, March 14th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I don’t like my high lip-line! It seems I have little control when I really laugh, even though my lips are quite big when settled/relaxed. What can be done? Does it come under gum contouring? Also, my front two teeth are long (like a chipmunk!) My dentist suggested getting a brace but I’m still thinking as it’s a lot of money and I’m not sure that a brace would change the shape of the teeth? They are naturally set longer than the others, not protruding though, and not crooked. Thank you for your time.

My Orthodontist Wants To Remove My Braces But I Think It’s Too Early. What Should I Do?

Friday, February 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,
I am currently fitted with braces to straighten my teeth before I have an implant to replace a missing upper front incisor.
I have been fitted with the braces for 3 years as my teeth had moved forward into the space of the missing tooth, although I was fitted with a Maryland bridge.
My orthodontist wants to remove my braces but I do not feel the top teeth are straight yet. The top incisors all look splayed forward and at an angle. Almost as if they have been pulled into position by the bands I wear, but then not turned straight again. Also my remaining front incisor overlaps the centre line. Does this seem right to you?

Hi Mark. I’m Unsure Whether I Should Have My Canine Removed Before Orthodontic Treatment. My Dentist Said This Would Make My Smile Symmetrical. What Do You Think?

Friday, February 21st, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I’m having invisible fixed braces fitted soon and because I had a canine removed years ago (it had grown above the gum and the other teeth are joined) my dentist recommends removing the other canine to make it look symmetrical. He told me I’d have an extra tooth if he didn’t do this. I’m not sure about getting teeth removed. Would you recommend this procedure as I can go with another treatment he offered that doesn’t involve removing teeth? I really don’t know what to do. Any advice on this would be great.

What Is The Best Toothpaste And Mouthwash To Use For Sensitive Teeth?

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I have 3 or 4 teeth on the bottom front that are not straight and two are being pushed out a little. I also have a little tartar build up on the back front teeth. Someone told me if I wore a retainer it would help straighten them out, is this true? What will the dentist do about my problem? What is the best toothpaste and mouthwash to use for sensitive teeth? It is crazy because in my family for some reason teeth are not very strong. I floss and brush and I seem to still have some problem here and there. Thank you for your time.

If I Remove My Teeth, Will My Overcrowded Teeth Move And Straighten To Fill The Gaps?

Tuesday, February 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, my teeth are overcrowded. I was just wondering if I remove some of my teeth if the other teeth will move to fill the gaps? My wisdom teeth haven’t come through yet but I have been told they will impact. Should I just wait until these come and remove more teeth at once? I have been experiencing TMJ. I’m not sure if this has something to do with it. The oral surgeon thinks stress caused it although he is unsure. Will removing the teeth make this situation worse? I look forward to your advice regarding this matter. Thank you.
