I had braces years back but my overbite came back advice?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009
Q.
Hi There, I had braces when I was a young teenager to close the gap between my two front teeth and get rid of my overbite. The gap has gone but my overbite came back (due to not wearing my retainer when I was younger). I would now like to get this corrected, but don’t particularly want to get one of the regular train track braces, and cannot afford to pay thousands of pounds for the other treatments. Are there any alternatives?

I have pain in my tooth and my dentist suggests me to remove it plz advice?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Andrew Moore Recently I’ve had extremely hard pain on one of my front teeth so decided to pay a visit to my local dentist. After taking an x-ray he noticed my top tooth bone was eroding so told me he would have to remove the tooth the next time i visit. I’m thinking of leaving it and let nature take place and see if the tooth stays in place but if it gets bad to worse and have no choice and its left to the tooth being removed what would you advise me to do . Thank you. Kind Regards
