Would you be able to tell me about the fixed wire retainers

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
To Dr Kailesh Solanki, I’ve had a really big gap through my two front teeth since i was born. I got braces in 2007 and then had the skin cut above my gums as it was tight and pulling my teeth apart, however, once i got my braces off the gap opened immediately..i had a retainer which failed to work I now have braces again, and the gap is completely closed, my orthodontist told me once the brace is taken off i will have a wire inserted into the back of my mouth so my gap will remained closed..and that i have to have this wire in my mouth forever. Would you be able to tell me anything about this fixed wire? I am also interested in getting porclein veneers as im tired of my mouth being pulled about every month. Would you reccomend veneers? Many thanks for your time,

My left tooth is crossing over my right one how can i sort it out?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
I used to have a brace when I was 14, I am now 25. There are no NHS dentits available in my area (Nottingham) so haven’t been able to see a dentist for around 2 years. My teeth used to be straight, but my Left tooth is now crossing over my right one and is very noticeable. Its really starting to worry me that my tooth might falling out as it seems to be pushing the right tooth back. What would be the best way to sort this out. I don’t have alot of money and can not find a dentist anywhere near I live.

My front teeth is rested on my other teeth how could i fix it?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi i was wondering who could help me and how .one of my front teeth is sideways in my mouth it is only slightly straight because it is rested on one of my other teeth i had braces on it few years ago and it did work but after i had finished my treatment it started to back to how it used to be and my teeth started to all either go a bit forward or back and it really gets me down. is there anyway this could be put into a normal smile as the braces worked for a bit and then went back to normal i considered getting my teeth straightened medically but i am only 17 i work but its still really expensive.

Ive notice that the enamel on my front teeth has worn away is there a way to built it up

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
I have just had my braces taken off and now only have a retainer to wear at night. I hadn’t noticed before but the enamel on my front two teeth and a few of the bottom front teeth seems to have been worn away at the tips. Is there any way to build it back? Also, some of my teeth have wavy lines at the bottom instead of a straight edge. Why could this be? Is there any way of fixing this? In addition to this, one of my canine teeth is particularly large and more jagged than the rest of my teeth. Can this be re-shaped or filed down? Thanks.

I havent gone a day without wearing retainer can i hold off on it for a couple of days

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Today i got all four of my wisdom teeth removed and i feel fine, my face is normal i just had some bloody issues but it was only for a few hours which is considered to be normal apparently.. However I was wondering if it would be okay to brush, floss and put in a clear retainer on the top teeth and a wire retainer on the bottom teeth.. I got my braces off about 3 years ago and haven’t gone a day without wearing my retainers so maybe thats why i’m paranoid my teeth are going to shift.. i was hoping to wear it tonight but im scared of getting an infection because im pretty sure retainers store some type of bacteria.. basically my question is should i hold off on the retainer for a couple of days or am i capable of wearing it today?

Ive a hairline fracture in my front tooth and will my retainer put pressure on them

Friday, July 17th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had braces 3 years ago, and i still wear the retainer a few nights a week, I recently had an accident and have a hairline fracture/crack in my front tooth. It is difficult to see, you can only see it in certain light, I am worried that if i wear my retainer it will put pressure on the crack and cause it to get worse, it is a vertical crack going from the top to the bottom. It isn’t sore and my dentist had a great deal of trouble finding it. I have been to the dentist and was told not to worry, but I am not sure about wearing my retainer. I haven’t worn it for a little while because of this, and a few of my teeth have moved a little, I don’t really know what to do! Any advice would be appreciated.
