Uneven front teeth needs to be reshaped

Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Q.
I recently went to the dentist and she shaved down one of my teeth so now one of my 2 front teeth is smaller than the other. It isn’t noticeable unless I point it out , but my teeth look different and it is very upsetting. I have a gap between my 2 front teeth I want to have fixed , so my question is, if I get braces or Invisalign to close the gap, can it bring down the slighter shorter tooth so my teeth look the same length again? I would like to avoid having the tooth that was not touched shorterend to repair my dentists mistakes and I am going to start consulting with other dentists/orthodontists for advice. Help. Thank you in advance

Tongue thrust is causing my front teeth to separate

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi There, I have a tongue thrust, and it is causing my two front teeth to separate in an upside down V. This is concerning to me because I wore braces for 4 years (about 7 years ago) and did speech therapy to re-train my tongue. I have a night guard that I wear although not regularly because it is uncomfortable, despite that it is in rest that the pushing occurs. Would veneers be a viable option to correct this cosmetically, while continuing to wear a guard at night?

A.
Yes veneers might help but you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Wisdom teeth is coming through and need a braces is it covered under NHS?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Q.
Hello there, Sorry to bother you but I have two quick questions if you could answer them please? I have previously had fixed braces (both) when I was younger, my bottom brace only stayed on for 4 weeks instead of 6 months as planned. I then had them both removed (after having top on for 1 1/5yrs prior to bottom) and wore the retainer 24 hrs a day for the year. I then went for the yearly check up point and my retainer was taken off of me. My teeth went wonky within months, and I have been too scared to go back. I get really upset about my teeth and suffered alot with braces to still have wonky teeth. I am 19 and in full time education and have swapped dentist now. My wisdom teeth have been coming through for a year and causing me grief, will they fit braces with the wisdom teeth growing through and are they likely to get funded by the NHS? Sorry its so long and hope its understandable for you to answer. Many thanks
