I’ve had my brace off for 4 years but my teeth still keep moving, is there a treatment to stop this?

October 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi, im 16 and have had my traintrack braces off for around 4 years now, i started off wearing a clear retainer everynight once i had my brace off but due to them not being strong enough i now wear a wire pallet brace everynight. I have to wear my retainer around every 2-3 hours or my teeth start to move even though its been 4 years since i had my traintracks off, I wondered if there was any treatment to stop this as ive consulted my orthodontist alot and she doesnt seem to solve the matter. Also i feel my teeth are still ‘buck’ and my 2 front teeth are larger than my other teeth, i also wondered if there was any treatment to correct this and make them the same shape and size as my other teeth so they are less noticable as my top lip does not cover them.

I am concerned about the brace removal process, will it hurt? Also do you recommend a fixed or removable retainer?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr Patel, I currently have six months smile braces on and they are due for removal in a few weeks. I am just concerned about the removal process will this hurt? are they pliered / pulled off? will it damage my teeth or leave marks. Also do you recommend a fixed retainer or a removable one? with a fixed retainer is it still ok and easy to floss? will there be any initial movement ? Thank you for your help.

My gums bulge after having braces, is there something that can be done to correct this?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I just want to ask what can be done with my gums because the roots of my teeth bulge after having my braces. I look totally different now because the roots of my teeth became like an anchor that made me look like an ape. Also my lower lip is more forward. I don’t know why it turns out that way when i thought having braces would enhance my face profile. Is there something that can be done to correct all of these? Please kindly give me an advice, Hope you can help! Thank you.

After having my brace off, I stopped wearing my pre-finisher and my teeth have become slanted. Can I still wear it if it fits?

April 19th, 2012
Q.

Hi, It has been five years since I took off my braces, I was given an appliance called pre-finisher. I wore it for about two weeks but then stopped as I had college and found it not practical to wear. However my teeth have gone slanted since I stopped wearing them and my smile looks bent. I just wanted to ask that after five years of not wearing them, they still fit in; I was wondering if I should start wearing them again after this long gap? or would that not be beneficial and cause them to go even more slanted? I always wanted to mention that now my jaw clicks which I have not had before braces. Please advise me as to the best way to go about this problem.

Many Thanks!

Can you explain how lingual braces work and what is the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?

December 20th, 2011
Q.

Hi. I want a brace and am thinking about getting lingual brace. I began to do some research into them when I stumbled across the incognito ones which I think are pretty cool and look good as well as being the linguals I was thinking about getting. I was toying then between the incognitos and the tooth coloured brace but the lingual seems more for me and I can see how these two sets work so It makes more sense for e to do this. If I decide to have this done where do I go. I mean it wont be my dentist and all my friends have a dentist- then an orthodontist for any of their brace work. I know that an orthodontist is someone who specialises in tooth straightening and so on but what is the difference between an orthodontist and a specialist like yourself? and can you tell me a little bit about the incognito’s, I want the treatment to be as good as it can be despite the effort i am nervous! cheers

Incognito are very good but al… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Having moved from Liverpool to London would it be possible to change orthodontists during treatment?

November 16th, 2011
Q.

Right now Dr I have a serious problem that I need help with urgently. Me and my parents have just moved from liverpool to London for my dads work. However I have braces on but I got them put on privately and my orthodontist is based back in liverpool. Is it possible to just get another orthodontist to take over and remove them as well as make me a retainer to use afterwards? And finally what is the average cost I am looking at to do all this? Sorry, How long do you think this would take as I believe I am ready to have my braces off right now?

I moved from US to the UK and have not continued my braces treatment. Can I just get them removed?

September 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello:

I have had my braces on for several years. This is unfortunate and causes me great distress and anxiety. They were initially placed while i was living in the US and have since moved to the UK to live with my partner. It is frustrating to find anyone that can help. I would really like to have them removed at this point, because I have not continued with my treatment. Can you suggest how I can go about doing this with a sensitive understanding orthodontist who will not judge or criticize my situation harshly?

A.
There should be no reason why … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I get braces even through my front teeth are dead?

September 5th, 2011
Q.

I am an adult, 24 years old and I would like to have Braces to straighten my teeth. My two front upper teeth are broken since I was 8 years and I have not done anything to them , they look arched from the ends. My dentist examines them and says they are dead as I could not feel the cold piece of cotton only on those two teeth. The questions are:
Would the braces cause my front teeth to fall or any problem?
What are the problems and could they be solved easily?
Will I need root canal treatments?
Would you advise me to leave my teeth as they are ok ?
Thank you
