I Have A Hard Time Opening Up My Mouth To Smile As I Have An Overbite. What Can I Do To Fix?

Monday, August 11th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I’ve always been annoyed by my smile. Sometimes I have hard time opening my mouth to smile because I have two front teeth that stick out in addition to having a gap in between them. What can I do?
My teeth on the lower jaw are also yellowish and some small holes have started appearing. But this doesn’t annoy me as much as having a large gap in my teeth. I am now 20 years old and my parents didn’t care much about that so that’s why they didn’t find me braces. I am really eager to know what doctors recommend for me. I wish to have a beautiful smile and so be confident.

I Am A Teacher And I Lack Confidence As My Teeth Have Gaps Between Them? Which Treatment Should I Be Looking Into?

Friday, August 1st, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I am 23 years old and the problem is my front teeth. They are coming out a little front and there are gaps between the teeth. Every day they seem to be coming out even further. I am in the profession of teaching which isn’t good because I lack confidence in my teeth. I have consulted my family doctor and he suggested for me to consider clip treatment which takes nearly 2 years, but at this age I am not interested in that treatment. Could you please suggest to me any other form of treatment for this problem other than clip treatment. Waiting for your answer, thank you.

My Son’s Dentist Told Him He Would Need To Have Teeth Extracted To Have Braces. Is This Normal?

Wednesday, July 16th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My son is 14 years old. He had some protrusion in his front upper teeth. Last year I consulted our dentist for correcting the fault and they suggested that in order to do this they would need to remove one front upper tooth on either side and create a gap for the protruding teeth to be corrected. But I worry this could affect his confidence and possibly his eyes. Is this possible? Could you please suggest to me the right method of correcting the teeth which protrude, keeping my son’s age in mind? Thanking you.

I Have A 7mm Gap Between My Two Front Teeth As I Should Have Visited My Dentist More Often. What Treatments Can Help Me?

Tuesday, July 15th, 2014
Q.

Hi there. I used to have such lovely teeth but over time I didn’t go to see the dentist as much as I should have and now my bottom two front teeth have lost a lot of the gum in the middle and it has caused them to grow apart. Now I have a 7mm gap between. As you can imagine this is very embarrassing and has affected my confidence. Also I do not work at the minute due to depression and anxiety and so my NHS dentist says they can’t do anything for me to help the teeth look better. I feel self-conscious when I talk or smile. I was wondering what treatment I would need if I saved and paid for the work I needed and what help there is, if any, to maybe help me pay for the treatment I need. I was also wondering if you think braces would be of any help to me at all? I’d appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thank you.

The Gap In My Smile Is Starting To Mess With My Confidence. Would Cosmetic Bonding Be Available Through The NHS As I’m Under 18?

Friday, July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello, I’m under 18 years old and have a gap between my teeth and Its really starting to mess with confidence. I’ve had it since I lost my baby teeth, it’s not very big, only about a quarter of a centimetre but to me it’s a lot. My dentist tells me I don’t need braces but the two teeth next to my front top teeth aren’t straight. But anyway I’m not bothered about those it’s just my gap. I have very thin teeth as it is so I was wondering if tooth bonding would be free on the NHS as I’m 14?

I’m Missing Two Teeth In My Lower Jaw As My Permanent Teeth Didn’t Come Through. How Can I Close This Gap?

Friday, July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I’m missing 2 teeth in my lower jaw at the front but the gap I have can take only one implant.  If I place one tooth above the implant it leads to gap between the teeth. What can I do to reduce the gap? For me no permanent teeth have grown, after the milk teeth came through I didn’t get my permanent teeth. I got my treatment in dental college. They said I could have only one single tooth implant otherwise you go for bridge technique. I look forward to hearing your reply.

What Treatment Would I Need To Move My Teeth Into The Correct Position?

Monday, June 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I don’t like the fact that I have a gap between three of my teeth at the bottom. I spoke to a friend who’s a dentist and they said I would need to move a big tooth at the back plus two smaller ones to the left of the front teeth. Is it possible to get an approximate cost or an idea of what possible treatments I would need to consider? Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to your response.

My Old Bridge Has To Come Out Leaving A Gap. Can You Give Me An Idea Of How Much Implants Cost?

Friday, May 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. On my last visit to the dentist they said I would have to have my old bridge removed as there is a gap now between the tooth and the gum. It doesn’t bother me at all but they said it will have to come out. That will mean I’ll have a gap on either side of my mouth where the two at the back teeth used to be. They said a plate would be an option but I would prefer to have permanent teeth implanted. Could you give me an idea how much they cost? And if there are any other options available to me? Thank you.

My Crowns Are Too Big. Could I Have Them Removed And Use Braces To Close My Gap?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I had crowns fitted to my two front teeth over fifteen years ago to close a gap. Since having this done I have deeply regretted this as my front teeth look too large in comparison to the rest of my teeth. This has affected my self-confidence greatly. I have recently seen the six month smile brace and I was wondering if I had the crowns removed then replaced to leave a gap would the brace work to close the gap? Thank you in advance for your reply.
