I am a 47 yr.old woman with well maintained diabetes for 30 yrs. now. Over the years I have developed periodontal gum disease(from not visiting a dentist like I should have) and from this a tooth has moved out of it’s original position, making a gap appear. Now going to the dentist for regular exams and cleanings, I’m interested in having this problem fixed. I would like to know what your suggestion would be on how to fix this problem. The moved tooth is located in the front & on the bottom of my mouth so when I smile it is very visible and i’m very self conscious of this. Please help!
Well, you are doing the right thing by getting the gums and underlying bones healthy first…this is very important when you are considering braces.
Nowadays there are a whole host of braces available depending on the position of your teeth, jaws and your personal requirements.
At Sparkle Dental Boutique, where I am based, I offer the full range, from fixed metal and ceramic braces to Invisalign and lingual braces.
Without actually seeing you…and your teeth!… in person it is very difficult to advise which brace is best suited to you, but I am quite sure that something can be done.
The best advise I can give is to have a consultation so you can be given a better idea of what can be done and how.
I hope this has proved useful. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries.
