I still have gaps in my teeth after wearing braces, any advice?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi Doc, I am 28 yr old female from India. Last year I underwent orhodontic treatment with white wire and clear brackets. Now after 1 year, the dentist has removed the braces. But i still see gaps between all upper teeth except front 6 teeth. The dentist has put me on clear retainers and said that the gaps will go on their own in long haul. From front my smile looks good but from side it shows gaps which is not appealing to me. Doctor please suggest what you think will be right. Coz in other ppl who have undergone orthodontic treament I havent seen such gaps. Thnx in advance,

Any treatment available for obvious gaps in teeth?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki I unfortunately suffer from a lot of overcrowding and as such both of my top incisor teeth stick out . I waited and waited for my dentist to take action when I was younger but he kept on putting off orthodontic work as my milk teeth took so long to fall out. We eventually moved to a different area where we couldn’t get a dentist. As a result I never got the braces I desperately wanted. I am now at a stage where I have summoned up the courage to get braces, a process which I know will be costly as I am now in my mid twenties. I still have a milk top right canine tooth and am wondering if this will have to be removed prior to braces being fitted? If so, will I have to wait until a new tooth grows in before braces can be fitted? The thought of wearing braces as an adult fills me with dread but the prospect of having a gap prior to braces is even worse. Is there any way this obvious gap could be covered up? Many thanks in advance for your help.,

I have nearly finished braces but think more work is needed?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I get my braces off in 2 months. They have already set the appointment and stuff. Unfortunately, I feel like my teeth are not quite straight yet. What should I do? I do not want to be rude either. What if he refuses to do so and makes all these other excuses? Would I have a case?,

I had fixed braces from age 13-16 and have since worn

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hello there, I had fixed braces from age 13-16 and have since worn a retainer one night per week. I am now 20 and upon noticing 2 of my front teeth were becoming slightly crooked in a short period of time i visited my dentist to ask what it could be. After taking a xray she showed me that my wisdom teeth are coming through and are applying pressure to my other teeth causing them to move. She suggested i increase the wear of my retainer to every night, however i believe my teeth are still moving.Would it be possible to undergo removal although the wisdom teeth are causing me no other problems as i am financially unable to have orthadontist treatment for a second time as i am a student. I am aware of all possible side affects etc. I’d be very grateful for any advice.

Is it possible to get my retainers redone again?

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had invisalign done when I living in America, about 2 years ago. But recently I have lost my retainer and I was wondering how much would that be to just have the retainer made again as I still need it for the top and bottom? Is it possible to have just the retainer done? Regards

Is surgery the only option for my overbite

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 21 and from Norfolk. I have just been and had a consultation about an over bite i have believing that it was sticky out teeth, turns out that it is not my teeth but my lower jaw 🙁 he said that i would have to have surgery if i wanted it corrected and that braces just wouldnt do much at all. he said that my overbite was 11mm and that the surgery would involve moving my lower jaw forward and probably my upper jaw back slightly. I am sure he said that this is available on nhs. i am now wondering if i heard correctly does this sound correct? Thanks

Is there any less obtrusive braces other than regular metal braces

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan My daughter is 18, she has quite a severe prognathia – she has been advised she will need a mandibuloplasty which she is very prepared to have. Her main concern relates to the bracing afterwards – she had a consultation last year with an orthodontist who advised she would need a metal brace – an invisible would not be appropriate. She’s off to uni next september and the bracing is her biggest concern. Are you able to say if there are less obtrusive brace, perhaps even an option after a few months – if this were outwith the NHS we would be prepared to pay ourselves Regards
