Would the fitting of a damon brace interfere with the perfect bite?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
Q.
I have read about Damon Braces in the USA and have seen good results, my lower teeth are straight, I have never required any dental work, just reg. check ups, and oral hygenist visits. However I do have a front teeth overlapping problem, the two teeth both sides of the main incisors,have been told by my dentist in Australia that I have a perfect bite. 1.Would the fitting of a Damon brace interfere with the perfect bite. 2.Would the fitting of a Damon brace to my upper teeth, require a brace on my lower teeth?

Is the six months smiles a good treatment for mild crowding

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Q.
Hello, i am interested in the six month braces, but have a few questions i have mild crowding in my upper front teeth and my bottom two front teeth overlap by about 2mm so one of them is at a slight angle behind the other the rest of my bottom teeth have just mild crowding with no rotation, my bite is also good, i understand that without photo’s and xrays you can not give me a definitive answer as to if i would be suitable for this type of ortho, but do you think i may be able to have this treatment.I live in the midlands and would be interested in coming to your practice for an assesment, in your opinion is the six month ortho a good solid treatment because i can’t find as much info on it as other treatments and does it really average just six months to complete. Thanks in advance.

How is TMJ diagnosed? Do I see my dentist or a neurologist?

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
I have been suffering from neck pain and vertigo symptoms (headaches, dizziness and nausea) since early May 2009. It was first thought that I had an inner ear infection however,due to the severity of neck and shoulder pain, it was thought that it may be delayed onset of whiplash following a car accident (rear collision) at the end of March. I have seen a physiotherapist and acupuncturist whose treatment of whiplash has proved ineffective and has not yielded longterm results. In the meantime I have developed a problem with my teeth; I cannot bite properly without making a loud squeaking noise. My jaw is tense and clicks. I pointed this out to my dentist when having a wisdom tooth removed and she agreed that this was not normal and said that she would refer me to a specialist. Having read up on this I am confident that I have TMJ, which has developed/been exacerbated by whiplash. My question to you is therefore this: how is TMJ diagnosed? Do I see my dentist or wait for a neurologist appointment?

TMJ is a very misunderstood co… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My daughter is not happy with metal brace what are the alternatives

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
My teenage daughter has been accepted for nhs treatment to have fitted braces. However,after years of being bullied and miserable because of her crooked, prominent teeth she is noe mortified at the thought of having a mouth full of metal. We asked if we could have a white upper brace and pay the difference but we were told that this was not possible and it would mean us paying the full cost of treatment £2300 we cannot afford to do this. Someone informed me that a gps letter stating that the metal one would have neg impact on her well-being would help. Is all of this info correct? would we have to pay the full amount? Thanks
