Can Six Month Smiles fix my mum’s protruding teeth?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi i am writing to you on behalf of my mother. she is 47 years old and wants to have braces. she visited a dentist several months ago and they examined her and said that she has a small lower jaw, deep bite with upper teeth overlapping the lower teeth vertically and that her upper teeth are very pushed forwards, spaced and proclined. but then she went of the idea but now is adament on doing them. so i was just wondering what would be the best thing to do. is the 6 month smile plan a good idea and roughly how much would it cost

What treatment should I seek for my gapped and protruding teeth?

November 8th, 2011
Q.

HI Dr THORNE. I have issues with y teeth and don’t know whether or not braces would be able to sort them out? the two front top teeth are gapped and have beeb for as long as I can remember the dentist had hoped that they would close when I grew as a child but they never did. the two teeth either side however seem to start protruding from the gum at their own line higher than that of the rest of my gum line, they are no use in terms of chewing die to the position they keep. by and large the rest of my teeth are fine and sound but these four will require I think extensive work to make them comply so to speak. what would be your course of action at this point to give me some idea as to what mine should be from now.

I have large protruding teeth at the front of my mouth with a crack, would I be suitable for braces?

October 27th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doc,
I’m 24 and my four front upper teeth are big and protruding forward that when i close my mouth you can slightly see the two front teeth,i mostly avoid taking pictures while smiling since my teeth are big and facing outside,the worst thing i have a big gap between the two front teeth and are stained brown since i was young, of which i dont know the reason for the stain since am the only one in my family with stained two front teeth out of four children.
The two upper front teeth are so sensitive to cold drinks and i detect a crack across one teeth..so my fear is,is it possible i have the straightening braces without my cracked tooth falling down…and if yes for how long will i have them.
Thanks,i will appreciate your help.
