Straightening Teeth
Teeth-straightening is done through a number of techniques. Dentists often require the patient to wear braces to re-align the position of the tooth. Tooth-reshaping is also performed on mild cases, while implants are installed in extreme cases.
306 Questions
Which way do you put in your headgear?
To put in headgear, first, ensure that the straps are untangled and ready for use. Position the headgear so that the larger part of the appliance goes around the back of your head, while the other parts attach to the brackets on your teeth. Adjust the straps for a snug fit but not too tight, and secure any clips or hooks as needed. Always follow your orthodontist's specific instructions for the best results.
How long is the invisalgn treatment?
The average time is about one year. The timing is variable however. Some cases are much simpler and some cases (stubborn ones) can go to three years. The success rate is very closely related to patient compliance. If you don't wear the removable appliances the teeth do not move predictably.
What if a child gets an abscessed tooth in a baby tooth Can it damage the adult tooth underneath?
No,
The adult teeth forms separate from the child tooth. However if nutrition is not improved while the adult tooth is coming before the adult tooth comes in, there is a higher chance it will be weak and more prone to decay.
Can you take out your retainer for a few hours for a party or will they shift?
they won't shift back, they take a while to do that. it took my brother's about 3 months for his to shift cause he didnt wear his retainer
What do people think of a girl with a gap between her front teeth?
I have a gap between my two front teeth and I've always been told it's ultracute! The hebrews believe that a gap between the top front teeth signifies wisdom. Either way, if you have a gap between your teeth, LOVE IT! It makes you who you are and if you ever decided to get it 'fixed,' I can almost guarantee you'll regret it later.
What of John's is made with a harder mettle and therefore is less liable to an impression?
This was from a letter written by Abigail Smith to John Adams.
The answer is his heart.
The excerpt from the letter is as follows. (spelling is as she wrote it)
You was pleas'd to say that the receipt of a letter from your Diana always gave you pleasure. Whether this was designed for a complement, (a commodity I acknowledg that you very seldom deal in) or as a real truth, you best know. Yet if I was to judge of a certain persons Heart, by what upon the like occasion passess through a cabinet of my own, I should be apt to suspect it as a truth. And why may I not? when I have often been tempted to believe; that they were both cast in the same mould, only with this difference, that yours was made, with a harder mettle, and therefore is less liable to an impression. Whether they have both an eaquil quantity of Steel, I have not yet been able to discover, but do not imagine they are either of them deficient. Supposing only this difference, I do not see, why the same cause may not produce the same Effect in both, tho perhaps not eaquil in degree.
Yes they will, I got my braces off around 10 months ago, and I didn't wear my retainer to school, and now my teeth have gone back into an overbite.. lol.
I'm so pissed, yeah your teeth will move back, and then you can't get them to go back into place. -_-
Does it matter if the power chains on your braces move?
I am not sure but you might want to get it checked out. I have had power chains with my braces and they never moved. Plus I have never heard of that happening to anyone. Are you sure that they moved because I don't think their supposed to. Hope I helped :) Check with your orthodontist/dentist if that is supposed to happen.
If you stop wearing a retainer what will happen?
I can tell you from personal experience that your teeth will become crooked again.
My child's retainer no longer fits is there any point in going back to the orthodontist?
Yes ASAP i did not go and get a retainer when mine broke and ended getting braces twice
twice trust me that retainer is way more comfortable than braces
Is one of the brackets on your braces broke or just simply loose?
It is only loose and it won't effect my over all treatment that much. So I get to relax.

What is a safe glue to glue a dental retainer with?
Do not glue it, no glue will be safe for this. I advise you to go to the dentist who will fully understand and replace your current retainer.
What are the effects of growing an extra front tooth that is coming in upside down?
you're going to need to get that pulled because it's going to start to become irritated and it shouldn't be growing upside down. You should see a dentist right away because that tooth will cause all the other teeth on both sides to become CROWDED and CROOKED. It could also cause your bite to be incorrect which may lead to WORSE problems later on. DON"T WAIT! If you don't have dental insurance, look in the phonebook for a Town or State SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY.
Is it hard to brush your teeth with a monroe piercing?
It is possible that it will become more difficult to brush while the piercing is healing, however it will not remain that difficult especially once the jewelry is changed to shorter piece.
