Will I have a gap in my mouth after my tooth extraction?

February 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi I’m just wondering if I need braces because I recently had a dentist appointment and he was looking at my teeth and said it looked a bit overcrowded. I have like a vampire tooth sticking out which he noticed and he said would I like it taking out? Does it bother me? And I said no it doesn’t bother me. Recently though, I have come to realise that I feel uncomfortable when I smile because of that tooth. So I’m thinking if I get that tooth out will it just leave a gap or will my dentist give me braces?

My teeth are very crowded, will invisalign be as effective as a metal brace?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello Dr,   Do you think invisalign treatment is as effective as a metal brace? I do think that invisalign look like the better option being clear and all, but i wouldn’t want to give in to invisible treatment if the brace wasn’t going to do the job properly! I hate my teeth, which are all very crowded and incredibly ugly looking and i just want to be able to smile properly for once, without half attemptimg to drag my hand up to my face. I think having a good smile would make such a difference to my appearance and I would be incredibly grateful for any informaiton you can give me on the matter

thanks

Would it be possible for me to get lingual braces on NHS?

August 10th, 2011
Q.

Hello,

I’m 15 and my orthodontist is planning on fitting me with braces. The problem with my teeth is that on my top row, I have 1 baby tooth remaining (due for extraction) without an adult tooth above it ready. He is planning on closing the gap left by this tooth and some other minor gaps, and sorting out the overcrowding on my bottom teeth which cause me discomfort. However I’m really uncomfortable about having fixed braces and I don’t know if he will allow me to have lingual braces fitted on the NHS (I can’t pay for private). I don’t know how I should go about asking for them, I don’t even know if it’s possible to have them. I just really don’t like the idea of visible fixed braces, especially for my 16th, prom, and probably 17th and 18th as well.

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?

A.
Thank you for your enquiry. Tr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.

hi

could you tell me the best braces for severe crowding and fangs? All my teeth are bunched together and it just looks hideous.
