, Doctor, I want to treat the advancement of the lower jaw, but I have a missing front tooth that does not exist. The doctor told me that in order to treat this advancement, I must implant this tooth, but I do not want to do that. Is there another solution to this problem, please answer me?
Hi Dr. What's up? kindly.. 1_ what is your favorite technique in raising the bite in severly traumatic CL 2 div. 2 mal occlusion? 2_ what would you choose regarding bracket presicription, mbt or roth? thank you so much. 🌹🌹
Now that is more tricky! Use a very small headed toothbrush and maybe a water flosser. If you have a tooth that is behind two other teeth it is certainly worth seeing an Orthodontist to see if they can help. Good luck!
It is difficult to make a plastic that is strong enough to withstand high bite force and also thin and flexible enough to flex over the full height and undercut of the teeth without placing them at risk of damage. Perhaps in the future we will have some developments in material technology.
Hey I got my twin blocks 6 days ago and looking at other people wearing them online, Ii noticed that their blocks are fully touching when they have their jaw pushed forwards, however when I push my jaw forward, my twin blocks only touch around halfway and there is a gap above my molars, does that mean something bad?
Thank you for the video! But is there a solution if my biteguard retainers keep cracking? I grind my teeth a lot and generally clench my jaw, the first retainer I got for this cracked after 2 weeks with a bit coming fully off and the second after 1 week already has a crack :(
Hi Maria. Bite guards and retainers are two different things so I would recommend a bite guard at night to protect your teeth and retainers in the evening to stop your teeth becoming crooked. Ask your Dentist / Orthodontist who should be able to help!
Hey! My doctor also recommend this.I have overbiting and also alignment is not correct.can you clarify me that it will solve my both problems or not???............ Because mostly I heard that it is just use to correct the overbite .........so it is also straight my teeth or not???? Plz reply
It seems he has an overbite ... I have the same condition ... So the overbite does lock into the bottom teeth... He only places his teeth that way for the pic I would assume.
Thank you so much for such an informative video. I am 15 and I have been incredibly insecure about my teeth for years. I have a big gap in between by two front teeth and they seem to sort of repel apart? They turn out and really look awful, I’m also very self-conscious about the way my mouth sits because of my teeth. hate talking to people so I always cover my mouth, and I never eat with other people, including at school. Do you think that an orthodontist would take the psychological impact of my crooked teeth into account? I have a consultation coming up and I’m very worried.
Generally it is based on measurements and the potential impact upon your dental health however in some circumstances psychological impact is considered. Good luck!
Hiya, I want to do Biology psychology and debating my 3rd subject (maybe physics) Just wondering if I have to do another science along with biology, i struggle with sciences and i do triple but i do like biology.
I would suggest looking at the entry criteria for dental school by checking on dental school websites before deciding. I personally did biology, chemistry and maths. Hope that helps!
Hey Bracebook. I had a referral when I was 14, but they said they were not crooked enough. 8 years later, and they are even more crooked than ever before, with severe crowding going on with the bottom set, having two teeth completely overlapping another one. I'm finding it can get painful sometimes in that area because of the severe crowding, as well as finding it extremely hard to clean since it's mostly covered by the other 2 teeth. Would this be possible to get for free on the NHS? If so, what process do I need to go through to try and get this considered for free? Thanks
Dear Jamie, braces that are free at the point of delivery are normally reserved for patients under 18, although sometimes exceptions can be made. I would suggest discussing with your general dentist at your next check. Good luck!
If I’m 18, do i have to pay for braces? Also, is education status a factor? Does not being in education not apply to this help me get them for free or just cheaper? Any info is useful, thanks. 😀
Hi XO, in the UK it is often possible to have braces over 18 if the referral was made under 18. This seems to be practice dependant however and depends on the individual contracts they hold with the NHS. Hope this helps!
Ah ! I just got them a few hours ago It's a little bit different from twin block and a little bit (more than that ....) painful even i am unable to speak normally My dentist (or orthodontist) said to eat and brush as normally i do He didn't said anything about removing it or ... Any advice on what and how to eat & how to brush would be appreciated.
I'm missing one of my lateral incisors (it never formed) & a canine moved forward to replace it but with a slight gap. Two months ago I decided to put on fast-braces and now i have to come to a decition on whether to close the gaps with braces or leave a gap for an implant or a mairyland bridge. I was considering the mairyland bridge but after research I found out that my bone and gum might recede if there is no support between my front incisor and my canine. Because this is gonna be in the front of my mouth, i dont want my gums to recede and look bad. Also i dont want to put metal in my bone and have an implant. Should I just close the gaps and unfortunately end up with a smaller mouth? Or is the mairyland bridge a good solution?
Often the decision on options is made from the bite that you have. I would ask for a clinical examination and advice from a Specialist Orthodontist. All the best!
Hi Dr. What's up? please, can you tell us about.. 1_what is meant by low and high torque bracket, and in what cases we can use them? 2_ how can we prevent the wagon wheel effect, when a torque is applied to the anterior teeth especially the laterals, and if happend, how can we fix it? thank you so much 🌹🙏
As someone who has these rn they’re not that bad - I had a lisp and ached a bit but I ate with them all the time and got used to then quickly and in my appointment 1 and a half months later I had already moved 6mm forward (I had a 10mm overbite)
Hi, I’m 27, may I ask if I’ll be able to get dental braces in UK? Either NHS/private? For big interdental space? How much will be the cost? What if I do it from other country and do follow up in uk? Kindly answer. Thank you
It’s very difficult to answer without measuring the teeth but you should try to see an Orthodontist and they will let you know your options. I have a video on private options for braces and costs on my channel 👍🏻
I just got twin blocks and they bottom half doesnt go over ther the top half (they dont go into position no matter how much i push my bottom jaw foward) will I be able to put it into position in a few dats or is there something wrong with my brace?
