I’ve lost a lot of weight because when i have my brace tightened my teeth hurt, so i can’t eat solid food, what can i do?

July 13th, 2012
Q.

Hey Darsh,
I’ve had my brace on for a few months now. It started off fine- but as i have had my brace tightened my mouth has just been so sore that i’ve stopped eating solid food all together. I only eat soup and tea with sugar. I’ve lost a lot of weight over the last few months and wanted to know if there is anything i can do, creams or medicine? My mums really worried and is forcing me to eat solid food but i just cant. I feel differently about food now like everytime i eat it im just going to be in pain. Maybe my dentist has tightened my brace to much too fast? I have said this too him but he says that he has tightened it the normal amount. do you have ideas so my mum can stop worrying?

I need a brace, but i box 4 times a week, can i get a special gum shield or a removable brace?

July 13th, 2012
Q.

Hey Darsh! I’m 16 years old and my dentist said that my teeth aren’t great and should think about having a brace, he said a train track one! I do want a brace but I am boxing 4 times a week. I was wondering if there will be any problems with this, would I have to stop boxing or can you get a special gum shield or a removable brace? How long is a brace on for usually, I want to start boxing semi-pro and do not want to have a brace for long if I can help it. What would your advice be? Thank you.

I’m having an unpleasant experience with my orthodontist with no results, can I have a second opinion?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh,
I am having an unpleasant orthodontic treatment with my orthodontist for over two years and no positive result is seen so far. I would like to have a second opinion of a specialist orthodontist and maybe do this in writing.
My question is, how much does it cost?
I would need to find out is she doing the treatment well and what further is needed to be done to achieve a great result. I am considering to switch an orthodontist, so this is very important to me. Please let me know. Thank you

Best Regards

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh Could you please help me with my braces. I like them- as much as this is possible for braces, but only aesthetically. the braces I find rub against my cheeks which have subsequently turned white where small shaves of skin have been damaged. I am only six months or so into my treatment and wondered if there was anything I could do to fix this. are there any long term solutions you can think of? thanks

My jaw dislocates itself, a brace would really help, can I get it on the NHS?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi , I am 19 years old and still in full time education as I attend college. I am currently receiving physiotherapy to my jaw as it tends to dislocate itself on a regular basis. I have had a few accidents in my younger years which I have had to receive 2 operations in my mouth my teeth are very crooked and chipped. As i am receiving physiotherapy my physiothearipist was saying how a brace would really help keep my jaw in place as they could put small elastic bands around the braces, but as I am over the age of 18 I do understand that the NHS don’t tend to cover it. Is there any chance because of my circumstances that I could receive braces on the NHS?

A.
Unfortunately in general pract… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
