I have been told braces cannot be fitted unless I have some of my bottom teeth shaved. Is he right to do this?

Friday, October 15th, 2010
Q.
I have been referred to the dental hospital for braces on the NHS. I am 37 and I have had periodontal problems and as such my teeth have moved making them crooked. I saw a private dentist who said he cannot fit braces unless I have some shaved off my bottom set thus stopping the top set catching and moving. He said the top set (where I am having a brace ) is unstable. Is he right or will the dental hospital still go ahead and fit braces even of my teeth move ! Also if I offered to pay a part of my treatment would I be able to offer to pay towards a clear brace or one that’s not a fixed one ? Or do I have to have metal ones. are they the only ones I can have or can put some money towards other types. sorry I know there is a lot of questions there.,

Orthodontics didn’t fix jaw so would I be able to see you for a consultation to get it sorted?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi I had orthodontic treatment from when I was about 12. I had fixed braces on which I had elastics to pull my lower jaw backwards. I also had to wear a chin-strap at night for the same reason. I’m 18 now and I don’t think the treatment has fully worked. My chin seems still a bit far forward and my front teeth don’t touch when closed. Would it be possible to book a consultation with you? ,

Could I have the herbst appliance with damon braces to treat overbite?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I’m going to be 20 in a couple of months time but I have overbite of about 6-7mm. I had braces when I was younger but my treatment was never completed and my teeth have since shifted again and now need a brace to re-straighten them, but my overbite is the problem that concerns me the most as it’s horribly noticable to me. Would the Herbst appliance with Damon braces be the best treatment for me? If so, which orthodontic surgeries offer the Herbst? I live in Kent, so travelling to London wouldn’t be a big problem. Thanks for any help in advance!,
