due to thumb sucking my teeth are pushed up and causing arched gap how can i fix it?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
As a child and teenager I sucked my thumb causing my teeth to be pushed up and causing a arched gap. It is quite pronounced and people often comment that they can’t see my top teeth when I talk. I feel very self conscious and embarrassed by my teeth. Is there anything that can be done?

My teeth have now become overcrowded and need re-aligning could veneer be a option?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had a brace when I was 13 but my teeth have now become overcrowded and need re-aligning as a result of my wisdom teeth coming through. I recently went to an orthodontist to think about getting a brace and he’s told me that I have short roots and he wouldn’t recommend braces for me. I’d like to know any other options that I have. Are braces totally out of the question? Could I have veneers? Many thanks in advance.

Should i need to wear braces for 2 year to close a 4 inch gap between my front teeth any advice

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dr dentist, i am having brace in two week time beacuse of a 4 inch gap between my front teeth and 2 inch my bottom. when i visited my orthodontist he made it clear, he cannot close my front teeth gap completely but he can close it slightly because from his own view , if he closes it completely my teeth will look weird . (because of other patients experience) from this i feel quite disappointed because my main aim of the entire treatment is to sort out the gap before i go uni in the next two years. for this i have intended to urge him that id like the gap to close completely but before, i would like to know what you think about this decision and also i’m meant to wear the braces for twoyears which seems quit a long time just to close a 4 inch gap slight not completely, i just dont understand. any advice would be appreciated. thankx

I have a really bad overbite is there any way to fix it using retainers instead of braces

Sunday, May 31st, 2009
Q.
I have a really bad overbite and I want to get it fixed without braces. When I went to an orthodontist before, they were going to remove 2 of my top teeth to help push them back faster and make more room in my mouth. Is there any way I could do that but use a retainer instead of braces?

A retainer is used after a bra… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

can composite bonding be removed easily and will the underlying tooth look normal?

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
I had a small 1mm gap in my upper two front teeth filled with composite bonding a year ago. The results are great, and it looks really natural. However, I have recently decided to investigate braces as I have come to the conclusion that i would like to straighten my teeth. With this in mind, i would like my dentist to remove the composite bonding, so that a brace can be used to close the gap permanently. First, can composite bonding be removed easily? My dentist did the filling so well, it seems impossible to tell which is tooth and which is bonding? So, is it possible to remove it? And will the underlying tooth look normal? Also, when the filling was done, the bonding was polished and i can see a less shiny surface on some of the surface of my teeth. I will ask the dentist to polish this after the gap is revealed again, but If some bonding remains, does this effect how well fixed brace brackets would stay on? Also, when the brackets are removed at the end of treatment, would the bonding have stained, is this permanent, or would polising after the brackets are removed get rid of it? Thank you for your time.

my 11 year old has a very uneven and over crowded jaw will fixed appliance work better

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi My son is 11 years old and he has a very uneven and over crowded top jaw. Our orthodontist has suggested fixed appliances (NHS – about 12 months waiting list) but has also suggested a removable appliance prior to the fixed. This will cost £650.00. Is this necessary and will the fixed appliance work better/faster if we go with the removable one first. Thanks
