I am getting a TPA fitted, what braces can I get?

August 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I’m getting braces on the 14th September in Guy’s Hospital. I’m going to have 4 teeth extracted after having my TPA fitted.

I’ve been seen in the orthodontic department in Guy’s Hospital.

My Questions:

I was wondering whether or not I’d be able to find out about the different kinds of braces there are.

Also, which braces would i be able to get under the NHS?

How long do teenagers have a TPA for?

What do you think of my treatment plan?

How long do people have braces for?

Do I have to get traintrack braces, are there any other options?

August 12th, 2011
Q.

I’ve just had fixed braces fitted to my teeth(train tracks) and my friends recently warned me about my teeth changing colour and leaving white spots were my braces are, if this does happen then would I be able to get tooth whitening on the NHS because thats who I’ve got them off, but the more important question is how do I prevent this from happening? As I really dont want my teeth discoloured hen their beautifully straight

I have spacing between my teeth and can’t get NHS braces, help?

August 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello my problem is that I have a mild spacing in my teeth, which i personally get paranoid about this because this is affecting my bite which is affecting how I eat. I visited my NHS dental practice to ask for braces and my dentist referred me to a hospital to get braces. Then when I go to the hospital and the inspector that was checking my teeth said that braces would not do the job and the only thing I could do would be to operation or going to a private orthodontics. I was obviously upset because of this and then as i went to my next check up i was told from my dentist that my teeth is not in the category mild and i would be able to get braces. I then was obviously confused the reason why i was told that i could not get braces from one place and then I was told from another person that braces would do the job. Because of this i am now in a situation where i have to pay for my braces and i cannot afford it because I am a student. I desperately would like to ask help from someone to help me with my problem and because of this i can’t go out with my friends or smile on the camera for a family photo and this have seriously been affecting my life for the past 8 years. So please someone help me with this problem and I would really appreciate if someone replied back.

Is my son too short for braces?

August 11th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. I have somewhat of a strange question to put to you. My son is 13 years old and our dentist has informed us that he requires braces and referred us to see an orthodontic, however the orthodontist has stated he is too short 4′ 11 and his shoe size is 4. On further discussion they feel straightening the teeth is too early as it will be out of proportion with the rest of his face in later years.
What is your view as we are very confused as our dentist are of the opinion that he requires braces. Thanks for your time and opinion (hopefully).

Could braces withstand my teeth grinding?

August 11th, 2011
Q.

Hello,I have slightly crooked front teeth which I have had attached braces for during my teens to fix. However over time they become crooked again.
I’d like to get Invisalign-do prices begin at around the 3000 mark or can it be cheaper in milder cases? as my teeth aren’t that bad as to need full on braces.

Also I grind my teeth during my sleep and wear a gum shield to protect my teeth during the night. Would I still be able to have Invisalign? Would it stand up to my grinding? as I need a new gum shield every 8 months or so.

My dentist wants to remve enamel before fitting my braces, is this right?

August 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doctor, I am a bit confused. My lower arch teeth are a bit crooked. I went to a dentist a few days ago and he proposed to fix them with minimum impact with a Social 6. he said this would involve scraping off a bit of the enamel of my teeth to provide for extra room for the teeth to move back into position.
I felt comfortable with the the dentist, and I was quite pleased the treatment did not imply removing my wisdom teeth, but after doing some research it seems like fixing the front 6 teeth (as apposed to the whole arch) and, above all, scraping the enamel off my teeth is not the best thing to be done. What do you think?
