Questions regarding braces and overlapping teeth..

Friday, June 4th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had braces when i was in high school. they were on for 18 months i think. the top ones were removed first and slowly i started noticing an overlap on my front teeth. In 2008 i had the overlapped tooth filed a little so it wouldn’t look so out of place. have a few questions: (1) will the filing down of my tooth affect the end result should i wish to have my overlap straightened? (2) what would be the most cost effective yet permanent solution which is not obvious? (3) I have fixed retainers on the back of my bottom front teeth (from high school days), are they meant to be there for life?,

Can I do anything to fix the gap in my two front teeth?

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
I have a gap in my two front teeth. It is at the top of my front teeth and i feel like it is making its way down. Is there any way of getting this fixed? I heard you can get braces but that is something i don’t want and my teeth aren’t that white so fillings would probably look weird because of the colour difference. Thanks.,

Are there any alternatives to metal attachments?

Monday, April 26th, 2010
Q.
my son is 15 and requires treatment to correct his over bite and align his top teeth.He plays trumpet and his music tutor recommended he asks for a removable braces so treatment would not affect his standard of playing. We spoke with his orthordontist and she said he could have a removable brace to sort top teeth but a fixed brace will be required to correct bite on bottom set. Although he is happy to proceed with this treatment my son wondered if there is an alternative to the metal attachments even if just for 4 of his front lower teeth to use when attaching brace to avoid riping his lip/gums when pressing the trumpet mouthpiece to his lips when playing. He only thought of this question after our last consultation.,
