Can you gimme some information about expandable jaw retainer?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Moore, I,ve heard of a new type of expandable jaw retainer that you wear behind your teeth to widen a narrow smile. I’m very interested in learning more about this, but I’m having trouble finding any info on it. Is it just too new right now? If you know anything about this, I’ll take all the info/suggestions you have. How long do you think it would have to stay on? How much would it cost? What’s it called? Could any Dentist/Ortho do it? Also, are ALL dentist’s considered cosmetic dentist’s or should I look for one that specailizes in it. Thank You.

Can u please advice on crooked teeth cause the adjacent teeth to move and become loose?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Q.
A couple of years ago i got braces on only my upper two front teeth. And now one tooth is moving a little bit. I think it may be one of my other teeth causing it to move, because my other teeth are still crooked. Also, sometimes when i press down on the tooth it moves. Not like its loose, just like underneath. Like its trying to click into place. This is the only tooth that I’m having a problem with. If you could help me that would be awesome.
