Why would my teeth begin to crowd at the ago of 39?

February 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi there
My bottom set of teeth have been crowding for the past two years (Im 39 years old) it got so bad that I bit the front off my lower front tooth and thought it wise to have it removed to free some space – as the pressure felt too much (it could not be crowned). Why would they start crowding so badly? I did have my wisdom teeth removed as they were sideways on and never going to appear. Could a remnant of tooth be left in the gum that has decided to travel – it appears only on one side. I truly believe the gap will close because of the pressure I have been experiencing. I really need to see an orthodontist. Would you have an x-ray on the back teeth?

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.

Is the Inman Aligner the best option for my tooth crowding

November 9th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I want to have braces but I feel the may cost to much. I am forty and a single dad I have been told that If I want anything other than traditional braces it will get quite expensive, i have a little bit of money stashed up like but i wanted to know how much alternatives will cost, I’m in Dudley just outside Birmingham so I do manage to avoid London. I don’t want my kids seeing their old man with train track braces, you know what kids are like though if they saw an inman it’s be cool or whatever, I only have mild lower tooth crowding I just feel now is the time to do it, financially and whilst I’m still at this age no older. how much on average would you say an inman aligner would cost? what are the alternatives and (sorry) are there any dentist in Birmingham or nearby that you would recommend for this type of treatment? cheers

If i have to have a brace so be it, but what are the alternatives?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello i’m 17 and I think I may have an issue with my front lower teeth, firstly I was wondering whether there should be any play in teeth, in terms, of wobbling/mobility because gums and bone are not quite metal and concrete I assumed there would be, if this is the case there should be no issue they just seemed to be wobbly and having never noticed it before I thought there may be an issue. However I was just wondering because my teeth are becoming crowded and I may need a brace to pull them apart? I don’t particularly want a brace however if its necessary i’m not fussed, I would like to know what the best alternates are for potentially crowded teeth? Thanks for taking the time out to read this.

Why is my dentist fitting my brace then extracting my teeth?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello I have just come back home from a trip to the dentist and I am really confused, I am going to have braces put on within the next two weeks and was told I would need tooth extractions. However, the dentist said he is going to put the braces on first and then perform the tooth extractions afterwards. This sounds a bit strange to me. Why would teeth extractions come after braces being put on when dealing with crowding? Iam having fixed braces put on privately if this is of help to your diagnosis. thanks!
