Which Type Of Brace Will Rectify My Canine Trouble?

July 11th, 2013

My teeth are very crowded, both the upper and the lower with my canines digging into my gums. My mum didn’t think I needed braces when I was younger and when she realised it was too late to received them through the NHS. They are a state though and I’m looking for a good brace system that will fix them as soon as possible. I think it seems likely that the canines will have to be removed but do you know of any brace that can avoid this from happening? I’d have to pay for implants or whatever then as well wouldn’t I? It’s going to cost me an absolute fortune and I have no idea where to start but I can’t carry on like this. Thank you for reading this.

How Can I Pay For My Braces?

June 27th, 2013

I really don’t want a train-track brace but my mum and dad don’t have great jobs so they’ve already said they can’t afford to pay for ‘fancy’ braces as they call them. I have to go to high school and I don’t want to be bullied. There was this one girl there who got picked on because of her braces and she always had food trapped in them. My jaw hurts all the time and the gaps in between my teeth are huge, the definitely need fixing. Can you please suggest something? I’m 15 and trying to get a part-time job so can I pay for them that way? Or can I get some help from someone? Thanks.

Can You Detail What The Recovery Period Is Like After Jaw Break Surgery?

June 4th, 2013

Hello Dr I hope you can clear a few things up for me. I have a terrible bite problem that’s been bugging me for years and I am wondering whether to go through with jaw break surgery so that I can also have my teeth straightened with orthodontics. Is the healing process particularly painful? WIll I have to have a completely liquid diet after it, and if so for how long? Also, how much time do you think that I’ll need off work in order to get all of this done correctly? Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Are My Six Month Smiles Causing Bad Breath?

May 1st, 2013

Hello. I have 6 month smiles and they’re fab, the tooth movement is extraordinary and my dentist has already said i could have them removed sooner than the expected treatment time which is great! HOWEVER, I have such terrible breath, I don’t know why this is but it’s only occurred since having the braces fitted. Can you please advise me? My dentist said my breath is fine, but it isn’t…I’ve already had comments from my husband. Thank you in advance.

Should I Have My Teeth Whitened Before Or After Invisalign Treatment?

April 24th, 2013

Hello, I’m just making a enquiry in regards to the invisalign system. Basically, my teeth are quite dull and I am planning on getting them whitened in the very near future. I also require invisible braces, I have a consultation next week basically I am suffering from some overcrowding and a slight cross bite. Just a heads up would be fantastic…should I have my teeth whitened before I get the braces or after? I want to ensure that I get the brightest possible smile but don’t want any marks left by the braces if I have them whitened beforehand. Do you know of any practices that offer free whitening with their brace treatments? I had a friend who had whitening with her braces but they don’t do it anymore…Thank you in advance!!

I have a over bite really bad my two front teeth are long there not crooked or anything kinda look like rabbit teeth and I was wondering how I would get it fixed? if braces would help? or if there was such a thing where they could shave them down? everytime I try to open my mouth all the way my jaw will pop before I can open it what could that be?

Can I get treatment to correct the gaps between my teeth?

March 19th, 2013

Hi, I am having gaps between the teeth and I would like to know which treatment will be the best to correct this. Though I had put braces at the age of 16, I failed to put the retainers properly which caused the gaps. I am a 31 year old female, is it possible to correct the gaps now ? Also I would like to know how much it will cost me and how long it will take? Also for the last 1 month I am having a blister in the gum just above the teeth. As advised by my GP I started using mouthwash and taking vitamin C tablets as well. This hasnt done any better. What could be the reason for this blister ?Please advice

I had braces when I was a teenager but now have a clicking jaw. What can I do?

March 13th, 2013

I had braces when I was a teenager but unfortunately my teeth have moved. Although I stopped wearing my retainer my dentist says that my teeth also moved as I now have ‘clicking jaw’ which I did not have before my braces when I was a teenager. He says this was probably as a result of my orthodontic treatment? I was wondering how this could be treated and also I feel that my teeth that sit right next to my two front teeth are too short? Can this be fixed with cosmetic dentistry or would I need orthodontic work?

A.
