Hi, I’m A Student In University And My Overcrowded Smile Is Getting Me Down. How Can You Help Me?

Wednesday, November 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Bohara. I’m a 23 years old and I’m also currently a student in university. I have a lot of overcrowding which has caused my teeth to become very crooked, I’ve seen my dentist and he said my teeth are in good condition but to get a great smile I’d need some teeth removed and braces. Would I get them discounted or for free since I’m a student? My oral situation is really depressing me, I never smile in photos and I’m extremely self conscious about my teeth. I hope you can help me with this matter. Thank you.

I Currently Have Braces To Straighten My Teeth, But I Now Have Black Triangles On My Front Teeth. Can You Suggest Any Cosmetic Solutions Once My Braces Come Off?

Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi there. I currently have braces to straighten my teeth but am expecting to have them removed in about 5 months. My teeth are now really straight but I now have “black triangles” on my upper 4 front teeth. My orthodontist intends to carry out some inter-proximal reduction but has told me this will not eliminate the problem entirely. Can you suggest any cosmetic solutions once my braces come off, bearing in mind I will be required to wear retainers full time initially?

After Having Orthodontic Treatment, I Was Wondering How Long It Takes For Adult Teeth To Come Through?

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Dr Shaffie, I’d like to mention that I had a first set of three teeth extracted on July 17th and another set of three extracted on August 13th. I had one baby tooth either side which were both taken out. Then on the 20th August I went to my orthodontic practice to have a fixed brace on my lower set of teeth and in about three months time I will be having a fixed brace on my upper set of teeth. The reason I never had a fixed brace on my upper set is that I have an adult tooth growing either side where the baby teeth were and I have to wait for them to come through enough to have a fixed brace on my upper set. So I was just wondering how long it would take for them two adult teeth to pierce through? Thanks, I hope you can help me out with this.

I Have A Young Son Who Has A Front Tooth Set To Come Through But The Gap Isn’t Big Enough. What Should I Do?

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
Q.

My son is 9 years old. His front right tooth has not come through yet and he has had the left one for about a year now. You can see the lump in his gum where his tooth is. I’m worried it may never come through. There isn’t a enough room for it. Should he not have a brace to make space. When he had his baby teeth he had an extra tooth between his front tooth and incisor was on the same side. Should I be worried about this or given his age will it sort itself out in due time? I could really use some help with this.

I Think I May Need Another Brace Fitted And I Wan’t To Know How Long It Will Take?

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello Mark, my problem is that I have been using braces back in India for proper alignment, yet I am not very satisfied with the work I received, I wonder if I need to have new braces fitted again to get proper alignment? If so how long will such treatment usually take? I’m asking as I’m leaving the UK soon and I’d like to know whether I’d have to stay longer if I got this treatment as I have also been using braces for about two years already. I hope you can help me with this. Thank You.

Hi, I Was Wondering Whether Braces Can Be Placed Over A Maryland Bridge?

Thursday, September 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me? When I was 12 I had braces to open up a space. This space had to be opened up in order to compensate for my missing lateral incisors which had to be replaced with dental implants. Now I am 18 and have been told there is not enough space in the roots to place the actual dental implant and I have been advised to have even more orthodontic treatment, I am just wondering if the braces can be placed over the Maryland bridge I currently have and also how long it would take to open up roughly 4mm of space for dental implants to be placed? Any response will be greatly received, thank you.

Hello, What Kind Of Treatment Am I Looking At To Fix My Overbite?

Thursday, September 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello, what I would like to inform you is that I have slightly prominent teeth with an overbite that is off-centre to the right of my mouth and I would like this corrected so that my teeth would not be prominent and also in-line with my bottom row, this is quite a disconcerting problem for me at this time. I would be open to all available options and opinions but I’d also like to state that my two front teeth at the top are crowns and are also very long, and this is also something which bothers me. Is there anyway that these problems could be rectified and what exactly would the treatment involve?

Thank You and Kind Regards.

I Need My Teeth Straightened After A Fight But I’m Worried They Might Crack, Could This Happen?

Monday, September 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hiya,

Let me first start by saying how it started, a few years ago when I was 16, I got into a fight and got punched in the mouth, it landed on my front upper tooth and now it’s been pushed back, it’s not major problem but I would like it straightened again so it will line up with the rest of my teeth, the only problem is that I am worried about is if there is crack across the centre of the tooth, would it still be able to be straightened? The crack isn’t major but it’s still there and I worry everyday that if I bite into something hard it could crack completely. Any help and advice will be appreciated, obviously I will not attempt to straighten it myself, I just want to know if it’s worth me making a trip to a cosmetic dentist?

Thanks.

I Am Experiencing Movement Of My Teeth After Orthodontic Treatment, Should I Contact My Orthodontist?

Tuesday, August 13th, 2013
Q.

Dr Butt, despite retaining my teeth after recent orthodontic treatment, I have noticed that my bite has shifted and is wearing down the molar enamel surfaces of the teeth as they are looking more yellow and worn. I feel my front teeth have moved inwards slightly, which has caused the bite to shift. This has given me reason to worry that the new uncomfortable bite that I am experiencing is wearing my lovely teeth down by the day, as I can feel them knocking each other. Should I consult my orthodontist, who made my retainers, about it or is this something that will rectify itself? When I wear my retainer the bite stabilises but when I take it out it shifts and is scraping the teeth. I hope that you can help me with this problem. Thanks.
