What can be done for tooth that is too high in jaw line?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Moore. At first I would like to thank you for your time! In brief, I’m an 18 year old female and I have a problem with one of my upper canine teeth. My right upper canine took a very long time to come in after my baby tooth fell out; it began growing around age 16. Now, two and a half years later, it seems to be grown, however, it sits much higher in my jaw than all other teeth. I’m definitely ready to bring it down! However, I do not need/want braces as my other teeth are straight so I’m looking for a procedure that focuses on this tooth only. Any suggestions on what can be done? The time frame? And the approximate cost? Here is my tooth: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/iheartmelots/id123.jpg Please help me!! Again, I appreciate your time and thank you so much in advance!!,

Is damon system the only option for crowding of the upper teeth advice?

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
My daughter who is 11 had been told she was eligible for NHS treatment for orthodontic work. She has a very small mouth, crowding of the upper teeth her eye teeth are impacted and she also has a slight overbite. We have been for a follow up appointment and the orthodontist has recommended she have the Damon System fitted to widen her jaw along with a functional brace to correct her overbite. All this sounds fabulous but at a cost of £3,500. My orthodontist has said she would not receive the Damon System on the NHS but is there another form of treatment available which would be covered by the NHS but would also widen her jaw and correct her overbite? Many thanks

Uneven shaped teeth needs to be analysed for the correct treatment.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Between the ages of 17 – 19 I had traditional braces. I am now 29 and find that my teeth have relapsed over time as my dentist warned they might. I wear a nightly retainer (which is a replacement if one I had and broke) but my teeth aren’t as they were when I first had my brace removed. The main issues are: a small ‘Madonnaesque’ gap between my front two teeth and the teeth wither side of those are rather short. I was wondering between veneers, invisalign and lumineers what I could consider to correct the problem. I want something that will completely close the gap without too much damage to my teeth which are white and in very good condition.

Can Invisalign fix my underbite as I have edge to edge bite?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi, im a 21 yr old male that had braces to fix a slight underbite when i was 14-16, for 2 years after i had my braces off i started noticing my perfect bite was becoming more uncomfortable. As of now, im 21 and have an edge to edge bite, my mandible grew, but i dont have an underbite yet, just edge to edge which is very uncomfortable. Im assuming i will have to go back to braces and elastics again, but i was wondering if invisalign will work for my situation? Can I use elastics with invisalign, I read online that invisalign can fix underbites?

Should I consider implants over braces I have time issues?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
One of my front teeth is not aligned with the others because it was taken out a little bit late in my childhood years while removing the milk teeth. Now am 28 and I would like it aligned with the other teeth. Braces take a long time to realign teeth, thats why I wanted to choose a dental implant. What is the process of getting a dental implant and its advantages or disavantages over the other methods.

Can I depend on retainers without having braces again to move teeth?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I had my braces off a few years ago and i wear my retainers everyday. I now notice that one of my tooth is moving forward and im freaking out about it. my ortho tried stripping the canine teeth a bit but i don’t see an improvement. Can i wear the T4K (trainers for kids) to make it go back to its original position? Is there a way for my tooth to go back without having braces again? Can the retainers do something about it?

I have relatively large front teeth and considering cosmetic treatment.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I haven’t been visited te dentist for a while now, but haven’t expereinced anything major with my teeth. The only thing concerning me with my teeth are the way they look. My front two teeth are quite large, but the only look large as the next set of teeth are small. I’m 20 now but it feels as though my front 4 teeth going bent especially mt 2 ‘small’ teeth. i feel so paranoid as i smile alot. I now find my smile to be more smaller and tighter. I’m not sure if braces is a good option although i would like straight teeth all over (my bottom teeth are not too straight either. I’m not keen on braces and i know the pricing to correct my teeth will not be cheap or even a ‘little affrordable’. I’ve haerd about Invisalign. I’m quite interested. However i’m also interested in something that will sort out the problem with my 2 ‘small’ teeth, so that they are equal to the rest of my teeth. Is there something that i could have for the small set of teeth, that won’t damage my own teeth and will last me for a long time?
