My tooth are moving forward advice whether to wear an Invisalign braces and a retainer

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr I recently went for a check up at my dentist as I was concerned that my teeth were moving forward due to my wisdom teeth being slightly impacted. I have in the past been to an Orthadontic hopital were they have carried out x-rays and concluded that they would not remove my wisdom as they are too close to the nerves. Therefore when I went for my recent check up I was keen to hear what the dentist would say about the movement of my teeth as they seem to get worse as time goes by. The dentist told me that the reason my teeth are moving is nothing to do with my wisdom teeth but is in fact caused by the contracting of my jaw muscle, which push the teeth forward. She also imformed me that this would get worse as time passed and that the only way to rectify it would be to have a brace, however the teeth could, once the brace is removed, move again! I have seen all the recent publicity of Invisalign and wonder if I was to go ahead and order Invisalign braces, would I, once these have been removed, need to wear a permanent retainer? And if so, would this be for the foreseeable future? Your advice is much appreciated. Many thanks

I experiencing some discomfort in my crowned front tooth should i need an surgery

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
I have a post and crown on a front tooth that I’ve had for some 20 years. I’m currently experiencing some discomfort and sensitivity in the tooth although I’m told by my dentist that there is no nerve there. I’ve been referred to a specialist who suggests that there is bacteria in the root canal, and I need minor surgery to clean it up (at £500). The specialist says there is nothing to see on the X-ray, but this is the most likely cause. He says surgery is better than removing and replacing the crown and post, as they’re a very good fit (although not a particularly good match for my other teeth. I have three questions: (1) does this sound like good advice from my specialist? (2) What other possibilities are there if his diagnosis is wrong? (3) I’m concerned that the problem will recur after surgery. I’m in my late 40s and my gums are receding. I guess the problem has occurred because there are gaps in the seal between post and gum. Thanks very much

My front teeth and the one at the other side are crooked should i have a braces again

Sunday, May 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had a brace when i was a teenager and this was taken off in 2001. Afterwards i temporarily had a retainer but then i had a piece of metal wire bonded behind my top teeth and bottom teeth, so that i no longer had to use the retainer. While i have looked after my teeth i’m ashamed to say that i haven’t been to a dentist since then nor am i registered with one. About 9 months ago the metal behind my top teeth snapped and i had it rebonded at the dental hospital where i went as a child, this happened again about 2 months later and i went back there again. However, yesterday i bit into a sandwich and the metal pushed upwards into my gums, into what felt like an arch shape. I went back to the same hospital and had it rebonded but when i got home it had snapped again. After the bank holiday i will make it my priority to register with a dentist but my concern is that ive noticed that one of my front teeth and the one at the other side of it have started to move into the crooked position they were in before i started treatment and this is causing me quite a lot of upset as they were a mess before i had braces. Once i get registered with a dentist will they recommend i have a brace again because i want my straight smile back?? Thanks for the help.

i had overcrowding and why is my premolar removed instead of wisdom would it alter my face

Monday, May 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 27 years old and recently had 4 teeth removed (pre molars)in order to have braces put on. After reading online, some say teeth should never have to be removed. I did have overcrowding and all my life dentist did tell me if I was ever to get braces, teeth would need to be removed. I guess my questions are: Why remove premolars instead of wisdom? Does it really alter my face? And, the average human should have 32 teeth, now i only have 26. Should I be worried? Is it common to have that many teeth removed?

Q.
I have a very over crowded mouth and my top right front tooth over laps my top left front tooth. I get pain in my jaw and feel a pressure sensation all the time. I had 4 top back teeth out as a child to make more room. Could you tell me what type of brace I would need and if I would get this on the NHS? I have a 6 month old baby and have a maternity exempt certificate if this would help? Thank you.

i would like to get my teeth straightened but i am unsure which aligner or braces is suitable

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I really don’t like going to the dentist and because of this i didn’t have braces as a teenager (i am now 20) as i was always too scared. My two front teeth are slightly crossed over and both lateral incisor and canine aren’t straight. I know this is due to over crowding as i was meant to have my second molars extracted but i was too scared. I would like to get them straightened as quickly and easily as possible but i am unsure which aligners or braces would be suitable. I would also like to know what options there are for making the whole process as relaxed as possible.

is it possible for me to restore my crowded teeth and how can i get a normal set of teeth?

Sunday, April 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, When I was 8, I accidentally lost one of my front teeth (the left incisor). For some reason I can’t understand, nobody told me to put a fake tooth in to keep the gap wide enough for future restoration. With time the gap closed. Now I am 21 and I have 1 (long) incisor in the middle of 2 canines. The rest of my teeth are in perfect shape apart for some crowding on my lower jaw due to the missing tooth. Is it possible for me to restore my teeth? How can I get a normal set of teeth? I can put on braces to pull my teeth and recreate the gap to place a tooth but this solution is very long and I won’t be 20 forever. So I’m looking for alternatives that would take less time. I would greatly appreciate any advice Thank you
