Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth to hold them where they are

Friday, April 24th, 2009
Q.
I have been wearing a fixed brace for 6 months now and am really happy with how much my teeth have moved, but my orthodontist has still given no indication of how long I am going to be wearing it. I really want it taken off but don;t want my teeth to move back as soon as it is removed. Is it possible to put on a fixed retainer behind the teeth at any point to hold them where they are, as i want to request this? Or would they have to be at a certain stage before the fixed retainer would work? I am completely happy with my teeth as they are now but am not sure if my orthodontist wants them to have moved before removing the brace. I’d even be happy with a removable retainer if necessary.

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I am i need a some good advice, all the dentist i have visited seem to be pushing me towards their most expensive treatments. My top teeth at the front are over crowded and the two main front teeth protrude forward – but thats not the only problem my two front teeth are a disproprtional size to the rest of my teeth and look like “rabbit” teeth. I hate my smile and am desperate to be able to laugh and smile without having to cover my mouth. Other dentists have suggested wearing a brace and have said this may help with the alignment my teeth will still be big at thje front and i would need further corrective treatment. I have limited funds and cannot affort to have lots of different treatments. Im so fed up i want to pull my own teeth out! Please HELP!!

Hi, I am 16 and have 2 impacted teeth and 2 missing teeth. My mouth can only fit 2 teeth. In a result I’ll have 2 missing teeth and the gaps will be closed by braces. I was wondering if in later life I could have venners to make it look like I have all of my teeth there?

i need to fix my gaps in my front teeth are there any other alternatives other than braces

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, My problem is that in recent years my teeth seem to have moved and caused caps with the result of my two teeth at the front now protrude. My teeth have always been straight and so its a liitle disappointing to find as an adult they stick out. Especially as I had to wear braces for years growing up! My dentist has refered me to an orthodontist to assess and seems to think it can be corrected with braces over a long period of time. Not sure if I can bear the thought of braces again, so are there any other alternatives that are no to costly ? Be grateful for your advice Many thanks

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.
