Now my braces are off my teeth are become crooked again, advice?

August 4th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, when I was younger about 5 years ago I got braces put on my teeth for 3years(tops and bottoms) because they were crooked and needed straightening not to sort a bite problem out or anything, when I had them taken off i was given retainers to wear until my dentist told me otherwise. I’ve been wearing them like I got told but my teeth have started to overcrowd and become crooked again. Iam just wondering is this problem going to stay as they are or will they get worse? And will I need to get my braces put back on?

Can braces cure my TMJ?

July 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,

I am looking into getting braces but i believe that I suffer from TMJ. My jaw is always hurting and i sometimes can only get it properly opened a few inches. Would i be able to get a brace to correct my crooked teeth and would this affect my jaw pain any further? I really, really want straight teeth but if it is bad for my jaw then i guess i won’t be able to have it.

thank you for your time and any advice you can give

Q.

Hello Dr. Qureshi, Iam writing to you because I am a concerned mother. My son is due to start secondary school in september and has rather crooked teeth, our family dentist said she wants to wait til he’s older then refer him for a NHS brace. However I would like him to start secondary school with straighter teeth, I know its not possible for them to be perfect in 2months but Iam sure that we can start? He’s a really shy little boy and I dont want him to get bullied so whats the best method to get his teeth sorted? Money isn’t a issue, thansk for your help

What braces treatment would you recommend for my horrible crooked teeth?

July 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor,

I just wanted some general advice on the best brace for my condition. I understand that a full evaluation will be needed before everything can be certain but I would just love some outside information to help me with my choice. OK basically I have very horrible teeth, not decayed or disease just very crooked. My two front teeth are buck and I have a number of those ‘fang’ teeth which occur when teeth erupt above milk teeth and then never settle. Which brace system would you recommend for treating this case effectively, quickly and if possible discreetly?

Thank you very much for your time doctor and any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Personally, I would say a self… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is there a suitable braces treatment that isn’t metal for my tooth condition?

July 8th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I am interested in having the Inman Aligner Brace because it is a lot faster than other braces but my dentist says that my teeth are too crooked for this treatment and I have to have some of my teeth removed for braces and the best treatment for me is metal braces. Is there an alternative to metal braces if you have very crowded teeth as I do not want anyone to see me wearing metal braces. I know there is Invisalign but my dentist even discouraged me from this saying that it will take 3 years with invisalign compared to 18 months with metal braces. Can you also give me an idea of how much this treatment would cost even if its a ballpark estimate. Thanks 

A.
