Hi, i am 32 and i am thinking of having braces coz one of my front teeth is little out of normal what an advise please
hi, I have just returned from visiting Australia. Whilst I was there I visited my parents dentist and he was horrified at the state of my teeth due to NHS care. I had been going every three months and 3 days before going to Australia. The UK dentist failed to find 4 fillings, one abcess which was so bad it needed extracting and the tooth next to it needed a huge filling and two loose front teeth which have now been bound! I am now terrified to go back to an NHS dentist and have a 10 year old daughter who they checked and found to have her lower teeth pressing on her upper gum. Anyway, I would like to have my teeth properly looked at to make sure that I do not have gum disease, to assess the loose teeth for possible implants and find out what else is wrong as the Australians ran out of time before we needed to return to the ‘front’. What would you suggest for me and my daughter. Does she need you or an orthodontist and how can I manage my teeth properly if the NHS is failing me so badly.
I’ve been wearing essix retainers for six months since having my brace removed and no problems. Four days ago I had 2 thin stainless steel bonded retainers fixed to both both and top teeth. Within two days my top teeth had moved dramatically. Trouble is my orthodontist is adamant that they havn’t moved. I can see and feel the difference. What on earth can I do since he’s thrown away my essix retainers? He has since made me new essix retainers to fit over the bonded retainers but that’s not going to get them back to the original position. I feel very fed up as I’ve paid £3800 for this.
hi, i am thinking about looking into getting lingual braces, i have done a bit of research on-line but still have a question i would like an answer too…… i have a overbite and was wondering if i the lingual braces on my top teeth would rub agains the front of my bottom teeth when my mouth is closed?? thanks
I’m 18 and have just finished my braces treatment, my teeth are straight, but my gums are quite big, making my teeth appear smaller , which is really noticeable when i smile really big or laugh, also although my teeth are straight there is still a tiny tiny gap between my two front teeth, so not perfectly joined together. They were like this when the braces came off so it is not lack of wearing retainer etc. What would you suggest me do? As at the moment i do feel self conscious when smiling.
Hi Dr Kailesh,
I have a question, my teeth are not straight and I got denied a few months ago by my insurance company for braces,and I would like to know what I can actually do to make them approve me(my appeal time is also over)
I was also thinking of getting invisalign and would like to know if that will work faster than damon braces.. also is there a way that I can have surgery to get my teeth straightened out?
Thank you so much,I appreciate your time.
Hi there
I would just like to hear your views on the six month smile treatment, i am considering getting my teeth straightened. I have over crowded teeth, the orthodontist said he would take a slither (small piece of enamel) from my teeth at the front to make a little more room. I am worried this mite damage my teeth and make them ache permanetly. This treatment seems to good to be true.
I would appreciate your comments
