How does braces work on my small peg tooth?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Q.
Hiya, im nearly 16 years of age and i am due to get my braces fited in about 3weeks time. the reason in which i am getting the braces is because i have a small peg tooth at the front of my teeth in which i am really self concious about and my dentist said that in order to build the tooth up she is going to have more room to do so; however there are other issues. i am very concerned about getting braces as most ofmy friends have already had them removed and i am the only one. when the brace is preparing room for the peg tooth to be built up am i going to have a larger gap there on show or can my dentist build this tooth up as the ortadontic treatment progresses? and how exactly does the building up of a tooth work?

My front teeth are slightly overlaps should i go for veneer or to get braces

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr, My front 4 teeth slightly overlap and have holes in the middle, one tooth is slightly chipped. I would love to have perfectly straight teeth without the holes and chips. I asked my dentist and she said I would need 4 Veneers but I also could go to an orthodontist to get these teeth straightened and then filling them would be no problem and it might be better. I’m not sure what is the best thing to do – get braces and then end up getting veneers also, taking more time and money or just getting veneers now to solve all my problems but in the long run what would the benefits be am I better to try to preserve my natural teeth as long as possible? Also my daugther is 10 and her teeth are very crooked bottom and top. She still has some baby teeht and her eye teeth have not come down yet – is it too early to start orthodontic treatment?

To start with, I would strongl… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hello I am a 42 year old man. My problem is my teeth are large with very long roots. My premolars have pushed my canine and incisor teeth forwards; when I bite down me teeth leave a U shaped bite mark. I would like to know if it is possible to pull backwards the canine and incisor teeth with some kind of brace, possibly by removing the first molar or one of the pre molar teeth.

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
I used to have a brace when I was 14, I am now 25. There are no NHS dentits available in my area (Nottingham) so haven’t been able to see a dentist for around 2 years.

Ive crowding on both the top and bottom teeth will invisalign suit me

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
I’m nineteen and I was wondering if Invisalign would work for me. As well as overcrowding on both the top and bottom (particularily the top, there is quite a bit of overlapping), I also have an overbite. If I clamp my teeth together, the top row covers the bottom. If I push my jaw forward and do the same thing so that they’re even, only the two front teeth touch the bottom. The rest of my teeth don’t touch at all. Can Invisalign help correct an overbite like this? I can’t stand the thought of having to wear metal braces. I’ve read about jaw surgery as well but I don’t know how that works and what the result would be.

Fixed braces such as Damon bra… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
