I have had braces for two years and my dentist said I should get a tooth taken out for overbite. Can you give me any advice?

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010
Q.

I Know this is silly, but I wanted to get a second opinion! I have been in braces for 2 years now going on to 2 1/2. My last appointment my orthodontist said that I have a bit of an overbite and that he wants to take out one tooth. I asked if it would change my smile dramatically and if he highly suggested it, but all he said

I have a 9 mm overbite, are there any alternatives to jaw surgery?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I have 9 mm overbite (overjet). During my last visit to India i have braces and my orthodontics extract my two upper premolars in order to make space and he put braces only at upper teeth. I came back to denmark after 1 month and find an orthodontic for furthur treatment. The orthodontics here suggest that i need a jaw surgery instead extraction of premolars. while the jaw surgery will perform in hospital and it is free in denmark.
is there any alternate to jaw surgery , can braces done the job itself? I have deep overbite of 9 mm what would you recommend?
many thanx in advance

What are my best options to correct a protruding canine tooth and slight overbite?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

Good Afternoon Dr. Verma,

I visited two orthodontists and a dentist for my right upper canine tooth that is slightly protruding.

The first orthodontists, said that i needed to remove both left and right 2nd premolars and wear braces for two years then retainers, because i also have a slight overbite.

The second said the same thing. but i only need it on top.

The dentist said that since its the canine tooth that’s protruding, i could wear a hawley retainer to pull/push it in for a year.

Do you think the hawley retainer would actually work?

And is it really necessary for them to remove the premolars if it is slightly protruding?

I have a reverse overbit and need it corrected. Can I do it on the NHS?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I am turning 18 this summer and starting university away from home this year.
I have a reverse overbite and have previously had braces, however my teeth have relapsed from a period without retainers.
I feel my bite has changed, as I now find it difficult to close my mouth without catching my cheeks in the process and find that my speech has changed as a result.

As a prospective medical student, I feel this will damage my confidence, especially when communicating with my patients and also personally.

I have researched the proceedures available and am aware and prepared for the commitment and post-operative care.
Do you think I am a suitable candidate for corrective surgery, who would I need to talk to, how long will the treatment take and would it be available to me on the NHS?

Thankyou Very much for your time!
