Dear Dr. Riten
I choose you cause you have a great smile! A dentist with a great smile its a must!
When i was 20 years old, i had a incluse canine on the palate and the 1st “milk”canine didnt fell. Unfortunatly at that time they decided to take it off instead of tracking him to the place. So i dont have my upper left canine. I made a profile with the ortondontist years later cause it could fall eventualy..so we decided to use the braces, take the “milk canine” and a pre molar on the upper right side and arrange all teeths…after 2 and a half years, it turned nicely…EXCEPT…i moved to italy, and i finished the last year with braces here….they places my “pre molar” as a canine, but it doesnt has the exact size… there was a stage where it was but now i only have the splint do to maintainance after you take the braces off…and i have a gap !!! 🙁 i went to the dentist yeasterday and he said it CANT Be done to close that gap…!!! i saw so many videos online on cosmetic dentistry, i think maybe he is not an expert??? Should i put braces again? look another dentist who can use composite to close this gap? i want to smile again….
thank you! Best regards!

After my braces were removed there was still a gap, what can be done to close this?
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011I always wore my retainer, but now I have a small gap in my teeth, what can I do about it?
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 Hi there,
I previously had braces for my front gap after 5 years of religiously wearing my plastic retainer the gap has re-opened. Is this the most effective treatment for me? i worry this is an awful lot of money for quite a small gap.
Look forward to hearing from you

Can braces correct my ‘buck teeth’?
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011I have had braces before about 4 years ago. And wore my retainers for about a year then stopped. I have noticed my teeth have moved forward and look quite buck. Wondered if i did get braces would it make the teeth not look as buck?
I didn’t wear my retainer and now my left lateral incisor has rotated back – what can I do?
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Hi,
I had orthodontic braces taken out about 3 years ago and I didnt wear my dentures because they were really uncomfortable. Most of my teeth have remained straight but left lateral incisor has rotated back.
Will wearing my retainers now correct the rotation? What else can I do to correct it?

My teeth have been moved by my fixed retainer, but my orthodontist disagrees, what can I do?
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011I’ve been wearing essix retainers for six months since having my brace removed and no problems. Four days ago I had 2 thin stainless steel bonded retainers fixed to both both and top teeth. Within two days my top teeth had moved dramatically. Trouble is my orthodontist is adamant that they havn’t moved. I can see and feel the difference. What on earth can I do since he’s thrown away my essix retainers? He has since made me new essix retainers to fit over the bonded retainers but that’s not going to get them back to the original position. I feel very fed up as I’ve paid £3800 for this.
Will braces permanently close the gap in my front teeth?
Friday, December 10th, 2010 Hello Dr.
Am 15 years old and I have a gap between my two top front teeth. I have always wanted to get braces, but I have been told that if I got any, they’ll only close up the gap for a few years then it’ll be back again because I was born with the gap in my teeth.
I would please like to verify from you how true this information is; as well as the possibilities of any health risks getting braces that will close up the gap completely could have on me.
What should I do if my braces have not achieved the straightened result I was hoping for?
Thursday, December 9th, 2010hey i recently had my brace off and my teeth aren’t too bad only a few teeth have moved but i want them straighter, what would you recommend ?
