What advice do you have for wisdom teeth that have forced teeth to overlap?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Please could you advise what to do when you have a canine tooth in this case my right, that has grown on top of or at least slightly overlapping the teeth surrounding it. My mouth is small and as my wisdom teeth have emerged all my previously straight teeth bottom and top are becoming more uneven. I would like to have braces perhaps but don’t know if an extraction bottom and top would be required before straightening could start. I would also like to have some whitening done but not sure if it is best to wait until the other problems are sorted first. I have never shown my teeth in a photograph and try not to laugh or smile as i feel it looks bad. If you have any advice i would be grateful.

Is the Inman aligner a good option for closing spaces?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Is the Inman Aligner good for gaps (SPACES BETWEEN THE TEETH) or is it just good for pushing teeth forward and back? Thank you.

I’ve stopped wearing my retainer and my teeth have moved forward, what do you advise?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am 20 years old, I had braces from 13-18, i wore my retainer afterwards, stopped wearing it as much a month ago and now i can feel my front teeth coming forward, I put my retainer back on, but it doesnt seem tight anymore, I dont know what to do, I havent been to my orthodonist for ages, and dont want to go back because he will have a go at me for not wearing the retainer all the time. If I continue to wear the retainer will they stop moving forward? or do i need to get help? Thanks,

Am I at risk of decalcification from lack of oral hygiene and wearing damon braces?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi

I am 30 and 10 months ago I started orthodontic treatment with damon brackets. At first I was diligent with cleaning but as the novelty wore off the cleaning became gradually worse.

I am now worried about decalcification. Although I do have them professionally cleaned about every three months.

I explained my concern to my dentist who said they looked clean and I wouldn’t know if I have any white spots until my braces are removed in about a year.

I haven’t mentioned it to my Ortho.

I thought that the white marks appeared around the brackets and so I should be able to see if I have them. On inspection in good light I can’t see anything.

My question is if I can’t see any marks now does that mean I can still prevent decalcification? or do I have to wait (a year) and see.

Thank you for your time

My dentist told me I can have braces, what should I do and how can I afford this?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello i wanted to ask i have this porblem. I have a mild spacing in my teeth which i personally get paranoid about this because this is affecting the way i am biting into something between meal time. I visted my NHS dental practice to ask for braces and my dentist referred me to a hospital to get braces. I then went to the hospital and the inspector that was checking my teeth said that braces would not do the job and i would have to consider having operation or going to a private orthodontics. I was obviously upset becasue of this and then as i went to my next check up i was told from my dentist that my teeth is not in the catergory mild and i would be able to get braces. I then was obvioulsy confused the reason why i was told that i could not get braces from one place and then I was told from another person that braces would do the job. Becasue of this i am now in a situation where i have to pay for my braces and i cannot afford it because I am a student. I desperately would like to ask help from someone to help me with my problem and becasue of this i can’t go out with my friends or smile on the camera for a family photo and this have seriously been affecting my life for the past 8 years. So please someone help me with this problem and I would really appreciate if someone replied back.

Thank you

Q.

I have two front bottom teeth that wobble but not lose enough to come out, one of them cross the other which is why i think they are wobbly do you think a brace would help.
