I’m worried about having my train track brace taken off, can I have some reassurance?

June 29th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I can’t quite believe it’s been two years since I had my brace on but in 3 weeks time I’m getting them off. However I’m a bit worried about the process, a few of my friends have said that it really hurt when they have to grind the cement of my teeth. I’m probably been silly but I was just trying to read up about it, could you tell me a bit more about how they take the brace off? It’s a normal train track one. I’ve not been very brave throughout my treatment to be honest, always worrying and crying 🙁 I didn’t have to have any teeth out before I had it on, if I would of had to I don’t think I would of got a brace. Hopefully it will be okay, but I’d love some reassurance 🙂

I have snapped a wire that’s causing me pain but I’m on holiday! what should I do?

October 13th, 2011
Q.

hi my wires snapped and is now poking out but I’m in Scotland on a family holiday until next Sunday so well over a week before I can get back and see my dentist. is there anything i can do myself it came out yesterday and is scratching the inside of my cheek to ribbons and is irritating the crap out of me. I was about to cut it out but then would the orthodontist be able to get a new wire back in r would she have to take the braces off and put a new set back on when i return? I am 21 you see and I don’t want to have to pay for another set- I understand that alterations and fixing them isn’t an issue but I can’t have them fixed right here right now without taking actions into my own hands.

A bone in my food pulled my wire and may have pulled my tooth, what issues surround pulling wires?

October 13th, 2011
Q.

the other day I went for an Italian with a few friends and have BBQ ribs, one of the bones (which I didnt know was even there!) got caught in my wire and pulled, I could feel this pulling sensation on my tooth straght away but thought it was just a reaction- like poking it or something, but three days later and the pain still has not alleviated- mild as it is. it’s not show stoppingly bad its just that I can feel it and know it doesn’t seem right. what I wanted to know was whether something like this could do any damage. the rib bone got right behind the wire then pried it as I bit. the wire didnt break and im worried its pulled my tooth and set progress back months.If its dome damage how severe would you say this could be without seeing it yourself. cheers

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

What do I do about my broken bracket?

July 21st, 2011
Q.

I av had my braces on for around a month now, but i think my dentist did something round. I’av had a slight numbing pain at the root of all my teeth so it making it very difficult to eat and drink. But the other day when I actually managed to eat something one of the brackets came loose and is no longer attached to my tooth. Is it just me or is it my dentist doing something wrong? also do I ring up and get a emergency appointment or just leave til my check up in 2months? thanks
