My front tooth has been crowned and it has now twisted and changed colour, what could be the reason for this?

Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Q.

I broke a large amount of my front tooth around 10 years ago. I had my tooth crowned. I have now noticed that my crown appears to have twisted, possibly dropped from the gum and changed colour. Is this possible?

Do I need a brace or retainer if my front tooth has moved slightly?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

I had a filling done on a premolar in august. afterward my bite was not right so i went back and had a bit filed off of it. it was still not quite right but much better than before and became more comfortable. however now my front tooth on the same side as the filling is twisting forward slightly. it has always been slightly in front of my other front tooth but definitely moving further forward. my tooth is not wobbly but i can feel it move slightly if i press my tongue against it. i think the filling has caused my teeth to sit wrong and therefore push this tooth out a bit.

will a further filing of the filling be sufficient to get the front tooth back in place/stop it getting worse? or do you think i might need a brace or retainer?

Is composite bonding aesthetically and durably the best choice when restoring chipped teeth?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

My 7 year old bumped heads today with a classmate and one upper front tooth and two lower front teeth have been chipped. We have been to the dentist who has said it is only enamel which has been chipped and they are confident there are no fractures, The lower teeth are too sensitive at present to bond with composite filling – it will have to wait til next week. I cannot help but feel saddened that he has chipped his permanent second teeth, Is the composite material hard wearing, natural looking and the best option at present? I need a positive opinion on this if possible, thanks.

I have a twisted front tooth, would a brace correct it?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi, my left tooth ( next to my front left tooth) is turned a full 180 degrees. My dentist says its a big job to re correct, saying he would’nt be able to crown it, therefore having to take the nerve out and going from there. I spoke to an orthodonist about it, and he said a brace would’nt improve it because of how much its turned. What would you suggest?

Thankyou.

Would invisalign be a good choice for me?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
hey man i have a question for you my front left tooth is overlaping my right tooth in a upper diagonal position it covers up to 20% of my right tooth its also on top like half of it is.( only the very last edge of it is about a half centimeter on top from my right tooth also the left tooth clicks only the edge thats on top i dont know why. My right tooth is nearly perfect it could be easily pushed more to the right about a 6-10%. I wanna know if invisalign would be my best choice or simply a working choice,
