i am uncomfortable with braces what are the options?

Monday, April 20th, 2009
Q.
I had braces (train track type) top and bottom in Dec 08. I’ve been told I’ll need to wear them for 1 1/2 years, have a operation to have my lower jaw brought forward (bite is out) then wear braces for another 6 months, then a retainer at night. This has been done on the NHS but my problem is they are so uncomfortable and they are making me miserable, I’ve lost a stone in weight and I’m quite slight anyway. They constantly rub, my lips struggle to accommodate the brace and and are constantly sore. I really can’t express who this is making me feel. What are options? 5 weeks or so I go back but they are always in such a hurry and have no time to see how I’m getting on with them.

Can I have braces on my veneers

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
When I was younger I had a slight gap in my front two teeth and an overbite, but for the most part the rest of my teeth were very straight. At 15, I had veneers put on my front two teeth to close the gap. I’m now, 4 years later, regretting getting them instead of braces because I’m still not happy with my teeth. My top gums show a lot when I smile. Is there any way that I can still get braces to improve my smile without hurting the veneers? Thanks,

A.

I am 21 years old and have a bilateral crossbite.

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
I am 21 years old and have a bilateral crossbite. My maxilla is very narrow and it is only realised recently about the possibilty of having it corrected. I was wondering about the time scale of a procedure (roughly) to finish with the braces. I understand a device has to be used to expand the maxilla first so I was concerned about the length of time the course of treatment would take. Any estimate would be much appreciated, thanks
