Could I wear a brace just at night?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello, I had a brace when I was under 18 for about a year but never wore my retainer at night. My dentist says my teeth havent moved back too much but I would like them to be more straight. Its my “vampire” like teeth at the top thats the problem. They stick out. Is there anything you could do? Like a brace I wear just at night or for a few months? Does the price change for shorter period braces? Thanks! =)

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?

Can I get my rabbit teeth pulled back?

July 26th, 2011
Q.

Dear Ian, I underwent a course of braces when I was in my teens and as I’av grown up and my wisedom teeth have come through then I feel like its pushed my front teeth too far forward and that I have buck teeth (rabbit teeth) and I hate it, is it hard to get teeth pushed back in? And if not what is my best brace to do this and what’s the cost. Iam 25 by the way if that helps, thanks so much for your time

Can braces fix my overcrowding problem?

July 20th, 2011
Q.

Dear Raha Sepehrara,
please could you give me a little bit of advice? I had a brace as a child, but after my ‘train tracks’ were removed i never wore my retainer. this was fine for years until i hit my mid-twenties and my wisdom teeth all came through, now i feel my mouth is extremely overcrowd and iam not sure what to do. Iam no long registered with a NHS dentist therefore treatment will have to come out of my own pocket. please advice me on the cheapest treatment for this

Did my tongue cause my crooked teeth?

July 20th, 2011
Q.

hi there

sorry to be a bother but could you tell me the best brace and overall treatment for crooked front teeth, caused by my tongue? I know its kind of weird but it has defo had an affect on the way my front teeth are and i would really love to get treatment to straighten them. However, im guessing the problem could come back so is there anything that can be done to stop it happening again?

thank you for your time and any advice you can give doctor
