Is there any other alternatives for removable braces?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
My child has just had a removable brace that she should wear 24hrs a day and she is completely refusing to keep it in her mouth for more than ten minutes. Its a brace that will bring her bottom jaw and teeth forward due to faces she used to pull as a younger child. I am wondering if there is a way to have a similar brace wired inside the mouth? She is autistic so she refuses to wear it more than an average child as it is. Thank you for your time

How can I get my bite balanced so that no teeth are under too much duress?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Q.
I have a very close bite. Recently I went to the dentist and had to have two fillings, one on the top and the opposite one beneath. The previous fillings had crumbled. The dentist told me they’d probably crumbled because the fillings were too high, leading to too much pressure. However, last time I had a crown on the other side of my mouth, the dentist told me that had broken because there was too much pressure on THAT side. How can I get my bite balanced so that no teeth are under too much duress? I should mention that I’m 60 years old now and this seems to have been a problem throughout my life.

This is a common problem when … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My daughter is 15 and she still has her front milk tooth please advice?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi My daughter has a front milk tooth that has not fallen yet. She is 15 years old. This has made one of her permant front middle teeth to get pushed on top of the other front middle tooth. My questions are 1. would it be best to get the milk tooth extracted 2. Put braces to correct the position of the teeth in the entire upper jaw, and would this push the front teeth into correct position. 3. Is she too old now for us to rectify this. Cheers

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Q.
I have relatively straight/level teeth all my life and never had braces however I’ve noticed over the last 3/4 years (I’m 27)that the 4 teeth on my lower jaw, between my ‘fangs’, have become twisted. My dentist says that’s ‘just what they do’ but I’m concerned that my 4 molars are pushing my teeth together – I have all 4 molars. Can you give me any advice/information? Thanks
