Does my son actually need his teeth removing to have a brace?

December 14th, 2011
Q.

My son who is now15 years old has protruding teeth and difficulty in closing the mouth perfectly because of this ,The local doctor advised him to go for orthodontic treatment seeing his case . After making the mold and photos he advised to extract 2 premolars each from upper and lower jaw . Was x ray not needed to confirm , which teeth is to be removed or it can be decided just from the mold and photographs ?

I have spacing between my teeth and can’t get NHS braces, help?

August 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello my problem is that I have a mild spacing in my teeth, which i personally get paranoid about this because this is affecting my bite which is affecting how I eat. I visited my NHS dental practice to ask for braces and my dentist referred me to a hospital to get braces. Then when I go to the hospital and the inspector that was checking my teeth said that braces would not do the job and the only thing I could do would be to operation or going to a private orthodontics. I was obviously upset because of this and then as i went to my next check up i was told from my dentist that my teeth is not in the category mild and i would be able to get braces. I then was obviously confused the reason why i was told that i could not get braces from one place and then I was told from another person that braces would do the job. Because of this i am now in a situation where i have to pay for my braces and i cannot afford it because I am a student. I desperately would like to ask help from someone to help me with my problem and because of this i can’t go out with my friends or smile on the camera for a family photo and this have seriously been affecting my life for the past 8 years. So please someone help me with this problem and I would really appreciate if someone replied back.

July 26th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr. Patel, a few years ago I had one of my back teeth out, since then 1 of my wisedom teeth on the same side has come through. as well as this I’av started to get small gaps in between some of the teeth surrounding my missing tooth. These gap reli bother me as bits of food get stuck in there, some times for day without me managing to get them out, would braces fix this problem for for me? thanks
