I am not able to smile or talk with confidence, my dentists wants to remove 4 teeth and put a brace on, will this work?

August 10th, 2012

I am now 23 years old female.i had done dental treatment done almost six years ago now.i had a complex problem, by birth my lower jaw was inside.during the treatment it was brought forward using twin blocks.Then braces were fitted to bring it back, it was fine after it firstly got done. However after about 15months my teeth came forward, it was fixed using retainers. But the problem is there is still projection of teeth. You can hardly see it from outside.I am not able to smile well or talk with confidence. When I visited my dentist I got told that the only possibility is to remove 4 of my teeth, top from the top and two from the bottom and then put on braces.Would this work? Also if teeth were taken out then could dental implants be placed there instead of my teeth? Also I am missing 4 molars, one from each quadrant of my mouth, should I just try getting braces again without removing any teeth?

Having lost a premolar what should I do regarding the gap left behind – orthodontics and implants?

March 30th, 2012

Hi Darsh,
I have lost an upper premolar (some root still present) and intend to get an implant there are however a few things I would like to know first. first of all; A) Can my teeth still be straightened (both arches) even if this ‘gap’ is present?
B) If so, is there one particular system that you would recommend in this case over another?
C) Would you recommend getting the implant done first, and then the orthodontics after?

Many thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,

Should I have baby teeth removed and get implants or have braces?

January 4th, 2012

Hi, When I was a teenager, my canines grew over the top of my baby teeth. In an ill-advised decision, I had the adult canines removed. 10 years on, i am trying to decide on the best option to fix this problem as the baby teeth are going to fall out eventually. Either way i have decided to get orthodontics to straighten my teeth as top and bottom are crooked. I have seen three orthodontists. They said i basically have 2 options. 1: remove the baby teeth and get implants or 2: remove the baby teeth and move the molars around to close the gap. I think I would prefer option 2 as it is the cheaper and appears to be better in the long term. My question is if it is possible to expect a normal looking smile by pulling the molars around and can the 1st molar be shaped to resemble a canine? Do you have any recommendations on which option might be preferable?

The implants I received after brace treatment are stained what can I do?

November 16th, 2011

hi I have a query about my implants. 4/5 years ago I had my braces taken off and had two implants in place of my lower left side central and lateral incisors afterwards. The issue is that’s I’d just about got the teeth cleaned when I noticed the implants have now been stained and the rest of my teeth haven’t. I try to clean them as much as I can but I was wondering does the fact that they’re not bone means I can use something other than toothpaste on them. They really stand out because they’re offset to the rest of my teeth (to the centre) and in order to cover it I end up with a lop sided smile which looks just as bad. If there isn’t anything to clean them with would it be possible to get a replacement set or would this cost a lot of money? what would you recommend? thanks

I’m not too sure what alternat… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

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

October 27th, 2011

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?

Should I get implants then braces or the other way around?

August 19th, 2011

I am a 28 year old male who has two baby teeth (the canines). I need to get the two canine babies pulled and replaced with implants. I also would like to get braces to make my teeth perfect. I was thinking the top would be lingual and the bottom would be regular. This way I would look more aesthetically pleasing and save some money. I also have fairly straight teeth as it is, but my future career is in film and I need to try to look as good as possible. So for my question:
A. What would you recommend for the process of things? Braces then implants, implants then braces?
B. Do you have any recommendations for reducing costs? I am paying off undergrad and soon attending grad school and need to watch the wallet as best I can.
C. What would be the time frame from the first procedure to the last? Would their be a time of awkward toothlessness?

A.
Have they taken a x-ray to con… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
