Hello Dr Patel. This may be a silly question, but my partner is considering teeth straightening. Is it possible to still kiss with braces? Or is it difficult, dribbly and/or sore?
Partner is 57. I reckon he also has a high and narrow roof of mouth. He has some white filling on front of teeth, wants it done as quickly as possible. Do you have any idea which brace could work well for him? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Mark, can the cement used to bond bonded wire retainers to the teeth after orthodontic treatment cause a sore mouth and lips? I’ve had to have it redone at a different orthodontic practice as it had worn over time but since i’ve had it done my lips feel sore and inflamed. The cement feels smooth but its a different feeling of smooth as to how the cement felt in my mouth previously from when it was first done. Have you seen this at all in patients and whats the best thing to do – thanks
