Will My Braces Need To Be Removed Prior To My Surgery?

Thursday, January 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi, Andrew, I’ve just had the Damon braces fitted and I am due to have an operation soon which I’m being put to sleep for and staying in hospital for one night. My question is, will the hospital still do my operation with the braces on? If not, will my orthodontist remove them prior to having the operation then put them back on after it? I’m really worried about this and would be grateful if you could help me as I hope I can still have the operation and not have to wait until I have finished my full treatment with the braces as I could have them on a year or more. Thank you.

I Have Suffered With A Sinus-Like Head Cold Ever Since My Sinus Lift Procedure. Will This Go Away?

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I had a sinus uplift procedure 7 weeks ago which was successful. I had the stitches removed after 10 days and everything seems to be healing well. However I have suffered with a sinus-like head cold ever since the procedure, which is not improving after taking over the counter medicines. Is this problem linked to my procedure of just a coincidence? If it is linked, how long do I have to suffer with the symptoms? Am I likely to suffer with this problem for the foreseeable future? I do not usually tend to suffer with sinus related colds. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

Is There A Surgical Alternative To Braces?

Friday, June 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi,

Im 16 years old and i still have two of my milk teeth (canines), I have gaps in all of my top teeth apart from the front two. My two adult canines have now come through my gum and are slightly covering the top of my two milk teeth canines because the adult teeth have no where else to go. My dentist has said i need a brace however it is really knocking my confidence that all of my friends have had their brace on and off and have perfect teeth and i am very aware my teeth are still not very nice. The tooth to the right of my two front teeth is pushed back from when it came down whilst a baby tooth was still there. I was wondering if there was a quick way, maybe surgery? In which i could have my milk teeth removed and adult teeth pulled down. Also a quicker way of bringing the pushed back tooth forwards?
