is there a treament for chin and nose that protrude and set back teeth

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
Do you know of a treatment for when the front teeth top and bottom are set too far back and from the profile view the chin and nose protrude. I wore a brace when I was 13/14 and think that the teeth were pulled back too far. I have seen a local surgeon who really made me feel uneasy and wouldn’t speak to me privately and since then i’ve been really depressed. At school kids used to goad me about it. I am not confident when I smile and really would like to restore that confidence.

A.
There are possibilities for tr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My son aged 13 saw his orthodontist today

Sunday, September 21st, 2008
Q.
Hi there. My son aged 13 saw his orthodontist today to have part of his fixed brace fitted (he already wears a twin-block). After having the fixed brace fitted he passed out when he stood up (he’s always been anxious about his teeth). On the way home part of the brace came away from his teeth so took him back to ortho and my son was so anxious he would not let the orthodontist glue the brace back on or take it off completely. The orthodontist called my son a pathetic baby and said “I don’t want him fainting again all over the place”. All this is bad enough but now he has a fixed brace, part of which is not fixed anymore and the only way he will have it removed is under anaesthetic. Where can we have this done? Would the local hospital do it for him? I am so very upset at the lack of understanding from the otrthodontist that we have decided not to go ahead with anymore treatment.

Can crowns and veneers be placed side by side

Monday, September 15th, 2008
Q.
Can crowns and veneers be placed side by side and look the same in the mouth? Hi Justin, About 7 years ago my dentist put white filling on my two left incisors to cover a gap as both teeth are slightly crooked. I now want to correct this as my gum is receeding above the white filling. I have been recomended crowns but for all incisors and both canine teeth, this is very invasive so I would want to have 2 crowns for the crooked teeth and then veneers on the other 4. Can these be made to look the same in all lights? Do you think my teeth would benefit from invisalign instead as my teeth are quite healthy-I have had all wisdom teeth removed. I also have little white marks on some of my teeth, would these be fixed by whitening? Thank you.

A.
The least invasiv method would… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

am i too old for orthodontics

Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Q.
At the age of 12 – 15 I had braces fitted to my teeth ( upper mouth only) and the results were impressive. Now at the age of 44 I feel my front teeth have rotated slightly with a very slight overlap. The teeth next to my front teeth ( again on upper mouth) have rotated even more. Can I , at my age, have this corrected and would it be beneficial? The difference is slight but I am very aware of it. I would also like to have my bottom teeth straightened. Would you advise a consultation to assess this or would you think it unlikely anything could be done. I would appreciate your advice Kind regards

A.
