What treatment can I have for my chipped tooth so I can wear a brace?

January 23rd, 2013
Q.

When I was about 13 I chipped my front tooth and because I was so young my dentist put porcelain over it and over another tooth that was supposedly chipped. Now being 19 the porcelain has chipped a little and, being originally discoloured but is now very discoloured . I want the unnecessary porcelain taken off my one canine and a cap on my front tooth and my teeth whitened.I need the crown to cover my chipped tooth. Would i then be able to have a brace? I will be getting my teeth whitened but I don’t know whether I can a) have the crown before the brace and b) have the tooth whitening before or after. For such a seemingly small problem I am having to go through all this, could you please pass me any knowledge of this situation? thankyou

My front teeth stick out and my bottom teeth are crammed together, will a brace sort this out?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

My two front teeth kinda stick out and I think its cause I used to suck on my thumb when I was young. My teeth aren’t horrible but my front teeth kinda bother me. They arnt crooked they are just in front of the other teeth and aren’t aligned in the same how they should be. Also my bottom teeth are crammed together so I was wondering if braces would fix my front teeth and bottom. If braces can’t fix my front teeth is there any other way I can get them to look better? Also on one of my front tooth I had chipped so I got if fixed and a little piece is fake can I still get braces? If I can get braces how long would you think I need them for?

I want to straighten my severely crossed lower teeth but I have a chipped tooth, what do I do first?

February 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop maini. all my lower teeth have crowded severely. I chipped one recently and was hoping to have a veneer placed on it or some bonding. I decided to wait and find out if this should be done before or after. What I want to know though is if I can any treatment to fix the chipped tooth temporarily whilst wearing braces. I had planned on getting Damon braces as they are fast and fairly discreet unless there is a better option if this makes a difference at all. thanks for your time Dr.

I am currently wearing Damon braces but have chipped my tooth. Will I need to have my brace off?

December 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am now in a very unfortunate position whereby I have a set of Damon braces that Ive been wearing for around three months. I’m not massively keen on them being there but they have to be and they are better than some alternatives I know. the issue I have is that at weekend I fell really badly coming outside with the shopping, upon doing so I have managed to chip my front tooth! I was in absolute agony like I never have been before. the tooth is now causing problems as its very sensitive, even to cold air being breathed in, I have to manage my breathing through my nose all the time. it looks a mess and if foods catch it it can be quite sensitive, Im worried it may have knocked my brace, though it doesn’t look like it. I need this tooth seeing to desperately but wanted to seek assurance/direction, will I need to have the brace off or will they be able to carry out the necessary if so what are the costs involved in removing the brace? thank you

I have a crack across my front tooth and am afraid that my braces make it worse, what can I do?

November 11th, 2011
Q.

Adam Thorne; I am experiencing a bit of trouble with my braces. I have traditional braces. I have a crack which goes across the corner of one of my front top teeth, im worried this will in time break, Im trying to prevent this from doing so. the issue I then have is that if it does break of and i am certain this is imminent what can I do to protect the pulp in the middle? otherwise my tooth will sting every time I breathe in? is there a temporary solution whilst I wear my brace that’s different to that of a solution if I didn’t? ie. can it be bodged until i have my brace off? once its off what options do I have to fix the chipped tooth?

My son fell off his bike causing excessive damage to his mouth. What corrective treatment should I seek?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

I need advise on what to do about my son’s teeth. A few weeks back my son fell of his push bike and smashed his front teeth in spectacular fashion. as a result he has had on of the two central incisors removed and the other is out of line with the rest of the teeth, the tooth between the central incisors and the left canine is chipped. he can have a veneer to fix this and an implant to replace the now extracted tooth. this leaves the un-aligned tooth exposed. would it be recommended to have a brace on this? the issue is that three teeth in a row would have had orthodontic treatment. would there be any issue having a brace or should he have the brace now, then have the implant and veneer fitted afterwards?

Can a crown affect the result of a brace?

September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have a crown on one of my top back teeth also a small replaced chip on one of the front teeth. Would that pose a problem? I am concerned that the crown may be put under too much pressure or may be compramised, the crown is a year old.

The replaced chip at the front is a small area at the bottom left of the right front tooth.

How long would the braces be in for? The teeth are not that badly unaligned. I have one wisdom tooth fully out at the back left of the top and one out a little bit at the back right. I also have two fillings in the two teeth next to the front two. Where ard the braces fixed?

Can I still get braces after chipping my tooth?

July 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi doctor

i was all set for getting braces, when i fell and chipped my front tooth. I have had the tooth checked out and had it fixed so its a whole tooth again, but i just wanted to know whether i could still have treatment, as it is my two front teeth that i was mainly going to have sorted out with the braces. The brace i was going to have was a 6 month smile braces, would I still be able to have the brace. It was only a little nick at the bottom of my tooth that was missing.

thank you
