I Have an Overbite. How Might This be Corrected?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Gambroudes, I’m wondering if you can give me some information. I have an overbite. How long do you think it would take to be corrected, and how exactly would it be corrected? Will it be painful? On the right side of my teeth, the upper teeth are overlapping the lower ones, while the lower ones are bent inwards. I only chew food on the left side and I always feel the tip of my tongue touching my upper front teeth. The front upper teeth are extremely overlapping the lower ones, in fact they are sticking out. Can this problem be easily treated? Thank you for any advice you can give!

As An Actor I Need A Complete Smile Makeover To Give Me Confidence. I Need To Know Which Fast Dental Treatment Options Work Best?

Thursday, August 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I really need a complete mouth makeover. I have a big overbite and gaps etc. I need an expert job as fast as possible with as little noticeable as possible. I need all options, even pulling them all out and having permanent fakes.
I am an actor and model and this is holding my work back as well as making me extremely self conscious with this problem. I need this done fast and price is a factor so I need all options.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply.

I Have An Overbite And My Teeth Overlap. I Want Straighter Teeth Without Looking Like A 12 Year Old. What Can I Do?

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hi there, I am 19 years old and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get straighter teeth?
I have an over-bite and my front teeth over lap each other. I would like to avoid braces at all costs, Mostly because I’ve heard that they take like 4 years to straighten? Is there anyway I can do this without braces? I don’t want to look like a 12 year old. Please let me know if there is any other options? I am desperate! Thank you for your time.

Q.

Hello Andrew. Could you help me? I wanted to know if tooth bonding is a suitable treatment for my teeth which are a bit see-through?

I’m currently too embarrassed to go to the dentist as well. It’s been my life-long dream to be able to smile. Thank you in advance for your reply.

My Teeth Have Relapsed After Braces Treatment. I’m Scared They Will Relapse Again Due To My Tongue Thrusting. What Can I Do?

Friday, March 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel,
I had a bad thumb sucking habit until I was 15. I am 22 now.

I had braces when I was 16 to correct my overbite but my gap never completely closed. My teeth relapsed a bit but are still not as bad as they were before the treatment.

However I am still not happy with my teeth and wanted braces again to pull my teeth down. I am scared that they will relapse due to my tongue thrusting. I normally swallow by pushing tongue forward behind my front to teeth or even touching my lower lip.

I have tried to find places that correct this or provide treatment but have been unsuccessful. I am based in the Midlands and would really appreciate help and guidance.

Thanks, I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Hello Mark. I’m 31 And I Have An Overbite Which Hurts When I Close My Mouth. What Treatment Would You Suggest To Correct My Bad Bite?

Thursday, March 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark. I’m 31 and I’ve got both upper and lower arches with teeth inclined inward, not much but enough to have an overbite which causes the jaw going too behind when completely closed and it gets stuck every time I open my mouth. Yes it hurts. And I’ve also come to realise this malocclusion is the cause of my scoliosis. No dentist has ever noticed anything wrong with my teeth, I wouldn’t necessarily call them good dentists. What treatment do you suggest to push them outward? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I Am Not A Suitable Candidate For Invisalign And Will Need Train Tracks For About 18 Months. Is This Something You Can Assist With?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014
Q.

I have a severe over bite (where the first set of teeth overlap the bottom set completely) because of this both sets of teeth go inwards. My teeth are generally straight however the problem is that both sets need pushing out and my over bite needs to be addressed. I have previously been advised (about 2 years ago) that I am not suitable for Invisalign and that I will indeed need train tracks for about 18 months – 2 years. Is this something you can assist with? I am happy to have train tracks if needed, however I do not want them to be overly visible if that’s okay? Ideally I would like to get booked in ASAP to start treatment. I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards.

Could You Give Me A Rough Estimate Off How Much It Would Cost To Get My Jaw Aligned?

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My top jaw comes out more forward than my bottom one, I think this is called an overbite. This means my bite basically covers my bottom teeth. Also when I bring my bottom jaw forward to meet my top teeth one of jaws are not straight resulting in a big space either side of my front teeth. Apart from this my teeth are all straight. I would like to have my jaw realigned. Do you think that this is the best option? Also, could you give me rough estimate of how much this sort of treatment would cost? I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

A Plastic Surgeon Told Me My Teeth Are Affecting My Profile. Is There Any Treatment I Can Have To Fix This?

Monday, January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I hope you can help me with my problem. I have a small mouth. My two front teeth squash inwards a bit. My top teeth overlap right over my bottom teeth when closed. I think that both of these things together make my profile very severely inverted at the mouth. It also makes my nose and chin appear larger than they are. A plastic surgeon explained that there is no problem with my nose and chin but it is my teeth that is causing the imbalance.   Is this something that can be done to make my profile better?

Many thanks, I look forward to reading your reply.
