Need to fix my bite and get gum graft, please suggest.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I am nearly coming to the end of invisalign treatment and have found that my top front teeth have gone forward and caused me to have a bit of an overbite. Also my lower left canine gum has receded, which must be due to brushing too hard as I don’t have gum disease. Will invisalign refinements be able to push my front teeth back a bit? or is there any other treatment that can fix my bite? Where can I go to get a gum graft, as it is causing me a lot of anguish.

A.
I guess refinement might help … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I feel some funny clicky popping feeling under my gums plz advice

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr, For the past couple of months (even in between Dentist visits) I have a feeling on my gums. Its a funny clicky, popping feeling as if air was getting under a layer of my gum and then requires for me to press down to pop it away. I hope I’m explaining myself right. I feel so frustrated since I do a lot of public speaking and I’m so afraid of loosing my teeth. My husband calls me paranoid, but what do you think I’m experiencing. At times the feeling last days. Sometimes its a little painful, mostly uncomfortable but mostly frustrating. One dentist ranked out gum disease. I brush three times a day and after i brush the feeling subsides for a while until I eat, chew gum the noise comes back. I even feel it behind my two front teeth’s upper gum. HELP!

It is very difficult to give y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
