Some of my teeth have moved back because I stopped wearing my retainers after braces treatment. Would I need braces again?

Monday, November 1st, 2010
Q.
Hello Andrew, Hope all has been well, I’ve worn braces for 1 year back in 2004 and then were given retainers, I wore them time to time but was a bit of rebel when it came down to them. Years passed and I realised one of my upper front teeth are moving forward and there’s a gap on the side of it next to another tooth (one next to the canine, how the gap is like a slit) And it’s the same situation below aswell, although this gap is bigger. I’m hoping to get them pushed back but does this mean I need to wear braces again? Or would I be given special sort of retainers that push them back and keep them in place? Hope to hear from you soon, Kind regards,
A.

I have been experiencing jaw clicking and pain with retainer. Dentist has recommended doing ortho treatment again. Sount right to you?

Thursday, October 7th, 2010
Q.
I had orthodontic work aged 14-15 where some teeth were removed. Within a couple of years, my remaining teeth had returned to their original positions. I repeated the orthodontics in 2002 with a different dentist, and had a wire retainer glued to the back of my teeth, but have been left with frequent jaw pain and clicking, and problems swallowing. I have today seen a new dentist, who has advised the retainers be removed immediately, and to go through the whole orthodontic process again, after fixing the jaw alignment (and moving all my teeth forwards). Does this seem like a good plan to try, or am i just going to spend even more money for the sake of it?,
A.
I think you should. Orthodonti… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Am I within by rights to request that treatment stops?

Q.
My son has had his fixed brace for 8 months and it was intended to pull back his 2 eye teeth. These now look to me like they are perfect but his orthodontist now wants to put bottom baces on. I dont believe that this treatment is required. Please advise if I would be within my rights to request that all treatment stops? I am aware that he would need a retainer after stopping.,

Can you suggest a treatment that can move my teeth back into place as quickly as possible?

Monday, September 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I am getting married in November and I had braces approx 4 years ago, but after having specifically requested from my dentist a wire to be attached to the back of my teeth, my dentist refused and told me a retainer was much more effective. Unfortunately I did not wear my retainer as I should have as I was in a customer facing job so my teeth have moved slightly – and mainly the front 2 which is really bothering me. I am wondering if there is any way of having a plate or similiar constructed to push the teeth back into place, it really is quite minor as when I put my retainer back it only has about 3mm gap from stopping it clicking back into place. Can you please suggest any methods that would assist before November other than veneers? Many thanks,
A.
