Would braces make the gum recession and TMJ worse?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 27 and am considering braces since my bottom teeth and quite wonky. Although my teeth and gum themselves are healthy, for most of my life have had a clicking jaw joint. I have been using a mouthguard but it has done little to help me stop clenching my teeth. I also have sensitive teeth and some gum recession cause either by toothbrush abrasion or maybe the clenching of my teeth.I am looking for a dentist who may be able to help me with all these issues! Would I be able to have braces or would it make the gum recession and TMJ worse? If I get braces and my gum recession increases, is there a dentist who would be able to give me a gum graft to improve this? Kind regards

Concerns over jaw re-positioning

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Q.
Why do I have a weird profile? I wore braces on my lower set of teeth to correct overcrowding and had a central incisor removed to make room. The orthodontist didn’t put braces on top set even though the the tooth front teeth at the top were slightly bucked, they were pretty much perfectly straight. Now after having my braces removed I have pretty much got pefect teeth even though one has shifted back into it’s original position. My main concern is my profile from the side my chin smooths into my neck and I have a worse overbite my bottom and top set don’t line up when I look from the side the top teeth overlap the bottom ones

Does failing to get a bridge lead to problems?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I only have 1 back molar tooth on the bottom rear (the 1 behind it & ahead of it had to be extracted). Are there any problems down the road if I don’t do anything about it – or should I be getting a bridge? I’m told a bridge will run around $3,000.00 but that’s a lot of money! Please let me know if there would be any problems leaving it as is? Thank you!

I have 4 tooth removed nd braces fixed but my jaw looks misaligned?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Q.
Hello there,i was wondering if you could help me.When i was about 12 i had 4 larger teeth removed towards the back of my mouth.2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.I had these removed due to overcrowding.I then had fixed train track braces fitted on the top and bottom of my teeth.I had these fixed for about a year but i had them removed as i was getting constant headaches and we thought this might be causing the problem.Since having the teeth removed and the braces fitted my appearence has totally changed.My jaw is completely crooked which is totally noticeable, especially in photographs where i cannot stand to look at myself.My face itself has become alot longer and thinner and the the pallet in my mouth has caved in.Instead of being a nice u shape it is much more like a v shape and it feels as though i am biting on the side of my teeth.When i have seen my dentists they say that there is nothing wrong but this has being really bothering me for years and it is my crooked jaw that really upsets me and i am desperate to try and sort this out and have a straight face again.Please can you help me.Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

I have glue left on my teeth after brace removal what can be done?

Monday, September 14th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Moore I have what seems to be glue left on my two centre top teeth from when my braces were removed when I was 17 (8 years ago). I presumed this would wear away with time but this has not been the case and now the surface of the teeth is very uneven. Not only this, but the bottoms of only these two teeth seem to be wearing away and are now almost transparent! I am very worried and these teeth are also extremely sensitive. Please could you tell me my options and is there anything to be done on the NHS, particularly as this seems to have been caused by my previous dentist?
