What Can I Do About The Gaps In My Teeth?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

I have all my adult teeth however I haven’t got my lateral incisor teeth. It’s been like this for about 7 years so all I have is spaces between my teeth. I hate my teeth so much that I choose not to smile and even cover my mouth when talking . I can’t afford cosmetics as I’m only 16 and neither can my parents. It’s been suggested that I get braces and then implants to to fill the gaps however I can’t afford this solution. What can I have done so I no longer have gaps between my teeth?I look forward to getting your advice and I am very thankful that you are helping me with my problem. Thanks in advance.

I am worried about having my teeth recontoured

Friday, April 19th, 2013
Q.

Please help. I am worried to death about having some teeth recontoured for an Invisalign brace. I have been told that some of my teeth will be filed so that this can create space to move the teeth. I’m worried that it will hurt, what it will look like. Am i going to have horrible gaps in my teeth? Does that look unattractive I’m very scared. Will it ruin the health of my teeth? Apparently it is needed for the Invisalign brace but I don’t want any gaps in my teeth.

My Partial Dental Plate Has Caused Gaps Which I Would Like Fixed, Could I Get A Bridge?

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013
Q.

I have been wearing a partial dental plate for many years. This has badly affected my gums and I have lost teeth through it. The remaining teeth (all of the front ones) are however solid. But they have gaps between them now as they’ve moved and I wondered about getting a bridge to sort this out. Would this be possible given my previous problems? A dentist upset me a few years ago by telling me she didn’t think it was worth spending any money on my mouth as the x-rays showed too much bone damage. But I really want to have teeth without gaps as its bothering me now. I don’t smoke or drink.

My Front Teeth Have A Gap Between Them And My Incisors Are Missing, What Are My Options?

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr,

I have a gap between my two front teeth and I’m missing my incisors either side of these teeth. I am really quite concerned as it is knocking my confidence a bit seeing as though it just makes my mouth look really really gappy. What would be the best solution without being to invasive? I’ve read through the different procedures and stuff so I know what they involve and I just think that it would be good to know which one I would need and the cost of this.
My teeth are really strong so I would want them to be removed but It would be nice to smile normally one day.

Thank you.

I Believe My Orthodontist Removed Teeth Incorrectly, Can I Take Any Action?

Friday, March 1st, 2013
Q.

Please Help! I need your advice on what to do. After a long 3 yrs, I finally had my braces removed. I had an over-bite & crowding on top and only crowding on the bottom. Due to this, I had 2-4 molar extractions & now I have spacings in between my teeth(s)! As soon as they were off, I told my ortho about the spacings & was told that if i wear my retainers they would close (It has now been 8 months!!!). I rescheduled an app. to see them & was told that I needed bondings because my teeth(s) were in in their correct position & they couldn’t be moved any closer. So I thought it was fine, I’ll get the work done but to only find out that it had to be paid out of my pocket! Since they were highly recommended, I sincerely trusted them & never questioned their judgement. I’m no expert but I believe that they shouldn’t have extracted anything & if they would’ve known better, they should’ve known that I would have spacing issues from the very beginning (I read that they can actually measure/calculate the size of your teeths to determine that this won’t happen). Now I’m worried that I spent all that money for nothing & I’m gonna have to live with the ugly spacings because of their mistakes.

How Can I Recover The Appearance Of My Teeth After Suffering Gum Disease?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes
I have been told by my dentist i have gum disease and have had root planing treatment. I am 43 and before being told i had this disease i considered myself to have nice teeth no crowns caps , 2 filling etc and considered i had a good brushing routine, with regular visits to the dentist,
I am horrified that it has been missed by my dentist. I have bone loss and my gums have receded leaving gaps between my teeth. my front teeth have shifted and i am going to have a brace fitted to correct this. my lower 4 front teeth look horrendous due to recession would a gum graft correct this?. i cry most days because i no longer have a smile and also now suffer anxiety attacks .I need to have this corrected as i know i will never be happy until i do , I loved my smile.
I work in the beauty industry so you can imagine appearance is important . i do not think my dentist listens when i ask about the gaps and although i know now my gums are in good health as the probings are all 2s It is the appearance that makes me cry. please advise me on gum grafting and possible cost i am at my wits end.
many thanks for your time in reading this email.

Will braces help correct the gaps between my teeth, even though I am a tongue thruster?

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
Q.

Dear Sir ,

I have huge gap between my upper and lower teeth which looks so awakward that I cannot explain .I consulted few doctors here and received mixed advises.Most of them said that I should go for Braces however few of them convinced me saying that the gaps are due to the pusing and touching tendency of my toungue , which is relatively bigger than normal.Even if I get the gaps fixed by using braces for long [eriod of time , there is no guarantee that the gaps will not come again. Kindly advise me what should be the suitable and economical treatment for my case.

Thank you in advance.

I have abnormally shaped gaps between my teeth, what is the best treatment to close them?

Monday, November 28th, 2011
Q.

I m a 30 year old otherwise healthy female. I have gaps between my upper incisors which are abnormally shaped ( tapering at their lower ends, instead of being square). I am not sure if my upper row of teeth protrude slightly or the gap between my teeth causes this appearance.
If i were to go in for a smile makeover, please advise on the following
a) dental procedures you would need to carry out
b) approximate time required
c) approximate expenses
d) post procedure treatments/ maintenance required if any

Many thanks for your advice
