Hello everyone, I am dealing with a misaligned third molar that faces inward, causing some jaw asymmetry. I'm exploring the best treatment options to straighten this tooth, and I'm particularly interested in discreet methods. The rest of my teeth are properly aligned, so I'm looking for a solution that focuses only on the third molar without affecting the other teeth. Has anyone here dealt with a similar situation? What treatment did you find effective for correcting a single misaligned... Read more ..read more

I have been wearing braces for 2 years now. I feel that there are no results in my orthodontic treatment. if there are they are so slightly and unnoticable. I have a missing upper lateral incisor and that's the reason my frontal (symmetry) line is moved. Also, I have a lower canine that's out of line. The plan of my treatment: extraction of the lower premolar on the opposite side of the out-of-line canine and moving teeth to close the gap. For the maxillary problem - also tooth extraction...

Hello. I received orthodontic treatment between 2019-2022. Two teeth were extracted in my upper jaw and screws were placed in the roots of my front incisors, allowing my teeth to move upward. After my treatment was completed, retaining wires were glued to my lower and upper jaw. I used the night plate every night for 6 months. After the 6th month, I started using it every 2 nights for 3 months. After using it for 9 months, my night plate broke. I didn't go to my dentist and get a night plate... Read more ..read more

I went to a dentist for extreme tooth pain/sensitivity in several molars. I get mild, brief pain when any food or drink touches the area between those teeth, and if the food or drink is hot, cold, or extremely sweet, forget it--the pain will almost bring me to tears (though it lasts only a few seconds). This pain/sensitivity started about 6 months ago and only got worse. I'm 24 years old and female. I don't smoke or drink. I floss daily and brush 2x/day for a while now. The doctor performed...

It took me a while to realise the obvious, but if mewing slowly widens your palate over time, then am I right in saying there's ultimately no point in someone - who as a retainer or night guard - to do mewing if their hope is to enhance their facial profile. Apart from the health benefits of mewing, if it's not possible to widen one's palate, then I guess the only other aesthetic benefit to mewing would be that you support your upper face. So in the case of myself, I can think of it as that... Read more ..read more

Hi, I went to the orthodontist last week for a braces consultation and have a question whether this is standard procedure or not. My teeth are crooked with slight gaps but my bite is normal. However, the orthodontist said that the only way to get straight teeth in my situation was to align all my teeth and especially my two central incisors together but leave two gaps between my two central incisors and my lateral incisors, then to get ceramic dental fillings over the gaps to make it neat...

I had my first upper molar on the right side extracted instead of a root canal. I had braces during this time so my dentist decided to close the gap (using elastics iirc). I was almost done with my braces but this gap closure delayed it for a few months. My bite was uncomfortable for a while but it religned as if my second molar was my first. I still did not have my wisdom tooth come in during this time. It come out a year later and took the place of where my second molar used to be. Now... Read more ..read more

Hi Orthodontists! I am 10 months into my orthodontics treatment, and I am currently at a crossroad to decide whether to correct the top midline alignment. My orthodontist has given me some factors to consider, but the final decision is up to me, so I would like to get some more opinions given the facts, risks, and other disadvantages of pursuing the correction. Facts: My top central incisors’ midline is slightly towards the left, approximately 1 mm off-centered My bottom... Read more ..read more
