My gums bulge after having braces, is there something that can be done to correct this?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I just want to ask what can be done with my gums because the roots of my teeth bulge after having my braces. I look totally different now because the roots of my teeth became like an anchor that made me look like an ape. Also my lower lip is more forward. I don’t know why it turns out that way when i thought having braces would enhance my face profile. Is there something that can be done to correct all of these? Please kindly give me an advice, Hope you can help! Thank you.

My front teeth stick out and my bottom teeth are crammed together, will a brace sort this out?

September 24th, 2012
Q.

My two front teeth kinda stick out and I think its cause I used to suck on my thumb when I was young. My teeth aren’t horrible but my front teeth kinda bother me. They arnt crooked they are just in front of the other teeth and aren’t aligned in the same how they should be. Also my bottom teeth are crammed together so I was wondering if braces would fix my front teeth and bottom. If braces can’t fix my front teeth is there any other way I can get them to look better? Also on one of my front tooth I had chipped so I got if fixed and a little piece is fake can I still get braces? If I can get braces how long would you think I need them for?

Is there any absolute way to stop teeth from relapsing after braces removal?

September 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi, im 16 and have had my traintrack braces off for around 4 years now, i started off wearing a clear retainer everynight once i had my brace off but due to them not being strong enough i now wear a wire pallet brace everynight. I have to wear my retainer around every 2-3 hours or my teeth start to move even though its been 4 years since i had my traintracks off, I wondered if there was any treatment to stop this as ive consulted my orthodontist alot and she doesnt seem to solve the matter. Also i feel my teeth are still ‘buck’ and my 2 front teeth are larger than my other teeth, i also wondered if there was any treatment to correct this and make them the same shape and size as my other teeth so they are less noticable as my top lip does not cover them

Is Dental bonding good for filling gaps on my four front teeth or is a brace the better option?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Is Dental bonding good for filling medium gaps on four front teeth? What is the best dental bonding material? I considered veneers but the dentist said that dental bonding would be more suitable for my bite as veneers might break or chip off. I would like minimal preparation to my teeth. What about braces? Is there any type of brace that is suitable? My teeth are healthy and straight but have medium gaps to the four upper front teeth. Could cerec material be used for filling the gaps. Could this be done with minimal preparation of teeth so that it could be reversed if required.

My teeth are very weak, but i would like a brace to straighten my teeth, will i be able to get one with a history of weak teeth?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Anoop can i have your advice please. I am 30 years old and when i was young i had a few problems with my teeth, they are weak and break quite often when i eat hard things or bash my mouth in sports. I have had a few teeth crowned and that has strengthened them slightly. I would like to get a brace, which one i am not sure. I just wanted to know if dentists would say yes or no to me for having a brace with my history of weak teeth? I don’t want to put too much pressure on them so maybe do it very slowly? Also is there some kind of way i get get strong teeth? i try and drink milk with calcium but it hasn’t worked yet?

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

August 30th, 2012
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!

With Damon Braces do i need to change my diet to stop it staining the brace?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

I’ve had Damon braces on for around 2 weeks, I was thinking about if my diet had to change? I know there are certain foods i shouldn’t eat like chewing gum and sweets, but are there any foods that help keep my teeth clean or strengthen them? Is it possible that the Damon braces change colour with the diet or drinks that i have? I do drink a fair amount of coffee will this have an effect, like it does on teeth. I didn’t know if the material that the braces were made out of would be able not to get stained, or if they do can you get the plates changed? So yeah what’s a good diet to have when you’ve got braces on basically? Thanks Darsh!!!

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

August 17th, 2012
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?

Is it okay to have my teeth whitened while having invisalign treatment?

August 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Anoop, I’m just in the middle of my invisalign treatment on plate #6 it’s going really well, i like how loads of people don’t even know i have it! I was just wanting to know if its a good idea or not to while i’m still wearing the plates to whiten my teeth with self whitening? Or get it done at a dentists but that just costs a lot more! I also wanted to know what do dentists feel about home tooth whitening kits, i’ve heard mixed things really, that your teeth get really sensitive and sore? Does this still happen when you have it done at a dentists? If i could have your advice that would be great! I don’t want to do something that will damage my teeth! Thanks Annop!
