My top wisdom teeth are pointing outwards, they are not causing any pain but they just rub against my cheek, what should i do?

Q.

Alright Darsh, My top two wisdom teeth are almost completely through, they are pointing outwards, towards my cheeks. They are not causing me any pain or discomfort but i wanted to see if there are any braces available to straighten wisdom teeth. I thought because they are far back in my mouth, a plate would not be possible as it might be quite uncomfortable? As i said it doesn’t hurt but it’s just a little annoying them pointing outwards and rubbing on my cheek. I would look into having them taken out, but is this not quite major dental work? I’d obviously prefer to just have some kind of brace. Thanks for your help!

My wisdom tooth has overgrown so it rubs on my gum, do i need this removing? Can i get dental sedation with the NHS?

Q.

Good day to you Adam, My question is not about braces but i see you are a dentist and i wanted to get your opinion on my case before i go to my dentist. I am 26 and my wisdom tooth on the bottom right hand side has grown to a longer length than my other teeth, so when i bite down my wisdom teeth hits my gum and rubs on a tooth. I am very scared of having my wisdom tooth removed as i’ve heard this operation is very painful. I would like dental sedation but can you get this through an NHS dentist? I would like very much sedation but i know it cost extra, how much is this extra? In your opinion would i definitely need this removing?

Iam over 18 but can I get braces on NHS?

August 19th, 2011
Q.

Hello there, I am a 21 years old male and am currently on job seekers allowance benefit, I have two teeth in one place, one on top of the other, one is still a baby tooth and the other is an adult tooth. My dentist said if I have the baby tooth removed, the other tooth still might not fall into place and I could be left with a gap, I asked about a brace but she said as I am over 18 I would have to pay over £1000 for the treatment. Could you give me a idea of how much should the treatment cost? Thanks

Why is my face thinner after braces?

August 4th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr. Qureshi, Iam a  twenty four year old male and I’av been wearing braces for just over a year now and people keep commenting asking whether I’av lost weight as my face has thinned out, but I haven’t lost anything, I asked my dentist but he said that only jaw surgery can make you face any thinner. I wanted a fuller wider smile not a thinner face, is it my braces causing this or could there be something else causing it? thansk for your time and hope you can assist.
