I Had My Braces Removed After 2 Years And Nothing Has Changed, What Should I Do Now?

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor Hughes, I wondered if you could advise me on something? I just had braces to hide the fact that my jaw was slightly to the right and I had an over bite. I had them on for 2 years and I just had them taken off and to be totally honest I am really not happy with the end result, you can still clearly see my teeth are not in line. It looks as if only one of my teeth meet at the front which is even more irritating than before. I’d like to know if I could still get the surgery even after having braces to try and hide it? I don’t know what else to do, I feel so disappointed. I haven’t been given a retainer or anything. I just don’t understand. Thank you for any help in advance, any other suggestions are welcome.

I Have A Gap In My Teeth, What Are My Treatment Options?

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi I was wondering if I could get your expert opinion on a problem that I am currently facing , my front teeth has a lot of gaps this is because in my childhood I had calcium deficiency so my milk teeth fell at irregular intervals and the milk teeth were replaced by new teeth after what seemed to be a long time, my upper section of teeth are a bit protruding, I have already consulted a dentist and he has advised me to go for braces, but to go for that option I have to been told that I will need to extract some teeth which I am not ready to under go, due to the simple fact that it seems like it could be a daunting task and I have never had anything like that done in the past… I would be extremely grateful if you could  please suggest  me some alternative forms of treatment I could undergo which aren’t as petrifying.

What are the costs and payment plans for Invisalign to correct overbite and a gap in my front teeth?

Friday, February 15th, 2013
Q.

I received orthodontic treatment as a kid to correct my overbite (in part due to thumb sucking) and a gap in my 2 front teeth. I have a fixed retainer on the back of my top 6 teeth which has not been maintained properly as gradually the gap has reappeared (in the front & at sides) and my teeth protrude (overbite is back) I’m interested in Invisalign to correct both of these issues, please can I have a guide as to cost & payment plans? Also, I show a lot of gum when I smile which is something I have always been conscious & hinders me naturally smiling, especially in photos. I would really like to have a procedure as part of my treatment to perfect my overall smile, is this possible at the Chelmsford surgery? Thanks in advance.

I have large gaps in between my front teeth due to thumb sucking during childhood, what treatments are available for me?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012
Q.

I have large gaps between front and side top teeth from thumbsucking during childhood to mid teens. The front teeth also protrude and the bottom of the teeth can be seen when my mouth is closed. I also have an overbite.I dont smile properly for pictures and my confidence is very low, can you suggest any treatment that could help. My sister also had similar problem but also had an infection above her front teeth which was separating her teeth even more, she had her problem teeth removed and had a temporary plate fitted and then screw in implants. Im in my late thirties and dont think I could handle wearing a temporary denture plate. Please help!
