My Teeth Have Become Ridiculously Sensitive To The Cold Weather Now I Have My Braces. I Would Love Some Practical Advice?

December 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel. I hope you can help me because my problem is becoming a little too much to deal with at this time. I got braces a couple of months ago and now I’ve noticed that my teeth appear to have become ridiculously sensitive to the cold. Not just cold drinks but if it’s slightly colder outside than normal then I get quite extreme pain just from breathing! Is there anything I can do about this without going back to my orthodontist? Kind of in a bad way here and would love some practical advice. Thanks a lot.

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

June 4th, 2013
Q.

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.

Which brace would be best in terms of comfort and a short timescale?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Dear Mr Patel I had orthodontist treatment as a kid when I was 11-15 so my teeth are straight to look at but my top teeth are pushed back too much so I cant close my mouth properly and my teeth are wearing out. In last few years my teeth feel uncomfortable as if there is nt enough room for my tongue. I would like a brace that can push them forward so I have a nice smile as you can’t really see my top teeth when I smile due to their angle. Also since I turned 40 my top jaw muscles ache all the time and I feel like my mouth doesnt have any support as the teeth are so far back. Please can you advise what brace is best in terms of speed, comfort and quick timescale? thanks
