What is therapeutic diagnosis?

November 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi Sharon, I have been researching into braces an have seen something called therapeutic diagnosis- or something along the lines of this. basically it talks about not having to take a tooth out when having a brace (just incase that’s not what its called, my apologies if it is I do not mean to patronise you, it is me that needs your help!) it made me think about whhy, I remember a few years ago my mate having a brace removed and moaning that her face looked different- I didnt think so, so I dont know. what is this method and why does it exist? it is possible to alter ones face when having a brace? seems a little over the top to me but as I am considering getting a brace (which I have been apparently doing for too long now) I would just like to know. cheers

Do I have to have a tooth extracted?

November 11th, 2011
Q.

hello DarSh, I have got to have braces, it something I have looked at doing for a long time. however my dentist thinks I need to have a tooth removed, I cant remember which one but to me he seemed to be going through the motions in a sense and i felt as though that’s just what he does and got the feeling he has done this before sort of thing. I have only had one tooth extracted before and I hated it- not a fan of needles for a start! my dads freidn who is also a dentist says its possible to have a brace and not have teeth removed and thinks that I may fit that bill. he also said if it could be avoided it’s better? I dont know who’s opinion to go with and a third option is now necessary. I know you can’t look at my teeth but what is your take on tooth extraction before the implementation of braces? thank you for any help you can give me

Why is my dentist fitting my brace then extracting my teeth?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello I have just come back home from a trip to the dentist and I am really confused, I am going to have braces put on within the next two weeks and was told I would need tooth extractions. However, the dentist said he is going to put the braces on first and then perform the tooth extractions afterwards. This sounds a bit strange to me. Why would teeth extractions come after braces being put on when dealing with crowding? Iam having fixed braces put on privately if this is of help to your diagnosis. thanks!

Do I need a tooth removed before braces?

August 10th, 2011
Q.

Please could you tell what to do when you have a canine tooth in this case my right, that has grown on top of or at least slightly overlapping the teeth surrounding it. My mouth is small and as my wisdom teeth have emerged all my previously straight teeth bottom and top are becoming more uneven. I would like to have braces perhaps but don’t know if I would need some teeth removed before straightening could start. I would also like to have some whitening done but not sure if it is best to wait until the other problems are sorted first. I have never shown my teeth in a photograph and try not to laugh or smile as i feel it looks bad. If you have any advice i would be grateful.
