My front teeth have started to part again which is the best option train tracks or invisible braces

Sunday, July 19th, 2009
Q.
I had braces in when i was 16 and up until recently they have maintained their position. I also had a permentent bar behind my 2 front teeth which prevented a gap, but as the bar broke my 2 front teeth have started to part again and have moved forward. I went to a free consultation re invisable braces and was told that it would cost £1900!! for one deck!! is this my best option or should i opt for the cheaper version of train tracks? which do you think would be best and work quicker? would it be cheaper if i was refered by a dentist rather than refering myself if i went for the train track options??

I havent gone a day without wearing retainer can i hold off on it for a couple of days

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Today i got all four of my wisdom teeth removed and i feel fine, my face is normal i just had some bloody issues but it was only for a few hours which is considered to be normal apparently.. However I was wondering if it would be okay to brush, floss and put in a clear retainer on the top teeth and a wire retainer on the bottom teeth.. I got my braces off about 3 years ago and haven’t gone a day without wearing my retainers so maybe thats why i’m paranoid my teeth are going to shift.. i was hoping to wear it tonight but im scared of getting an infection because im pretty sure retainers store some type of bacteria.. basically my question is should i hold off on the retainer for a couple of days or am i capable of wearing it today?

Try them in, they should be co… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had my brace removed and now i dont like wearing the bottom plate because of pain advice?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
I feel like my plate is too big. I had my braces removed about 5 days ago and on that appointment, when my orthodontist was taking moulds for my plate, on the bottom one he said “your mouth is just a little too big for the small so I’ll give you one size up.” or something like that. Anyway, my lower inside, left gum is being pushed by the plastic bit on the plate and it is extremely painful and is almost drawing blood. I don’t like wearing the bottom plate and often can’t wear it because of the pain. What should i do?

A.
Return to your orthodontist to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
