I Have A Misplaced Mid-line Down To Sucking My Thumb. Will My Dentist Allow Me To Get Braces?

Thursday, May 1st, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I like to ask you a question. I’m 14 turning 15, and my teeth are pretty straight for the most part but my incisors are a bit crooked but for the most part, 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’s also very irritating to bite because the lip feels weird. My mum pointed out that my face is now a bit asymmetrical. Will my dentist allow me to get braces? Thank you for your time.

My Incisors Are Bent And Displaced From Their Actual Position. What Treatment Could Fix This Problem For Me?

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I wonder if you can help me. I am 18 years old. I have a problem that my two central incisors in the upper half are a little inwardly bent and the two lateral incisors (on both sides of the central incisors) are displaced from their actual position. They have shifted a little backwards in my mouth. I am not able to speak properly because of this and I would like ideas on what would be the best way to fix this problem? I also have a problem in my lower half. One of my canines is displaced backwards. Thank you for listening, I’m just after some information really.

I Am At University And Unhappy With My Smile, How Do I Get This Fixed?

Thursday, March 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’m very un happy with my smile. My two top front teeth are quite large, but they are square at least, the problem is the two next to them go back a little and are much smaller, which then makes me look a bit goofy! Also the two either side of them, (incisors? i think) come forward a bit and are still a lot smaller and very pointy so when i bite together there are gaps inbetween them and my bottom teeth. Im not sure weather much can be done within my price range, i am a 21 year old student at university and im not sure what the deal is with paying for dental care now, however they are making me very un happy so am willing to work hard to try and get them sorted. if you could perhaps give me a idea of what sort of treatment would work for this i would be very grateful. Im sorry its quite hard to explain, but if i could perhaps send a photo of my teeth to explain better. that would be brilliant too. Thank you
