Invisalign. I just got my braces off and for my retainer my orthodontist gave me invisalign. It does not hurt and all my friends have to be told my retainer is on for them to see it, and they still have a hard time. If you look in the dentists office u will notice they have a lot of posters about Invisalign. It's highly recommended. Happy New Year and good luck!!
Reply:Sounds like you will need an implant.
Reply:go to an orthodontist. the dentist doesnt straighten teeth. they just keep them healthy
Reply:yay!!
Reply:Exactly what you just asked here
Reply:could be a prob with the gums , so maybe if thats treated then it will help the problem i think u just need to asl wot can be done and if they can provide u with a single denture to replace the missing one good luck
Reply:Tell the dentist what you want. Ask him if he can do it and how much will it cost. I think you should go see an orthodontist.
Reply:open your mouth and say "FIX THIS"! but try not to go to one of those idiots that say" YOU MAY FEEL A LITTLE PINCH" , and the next thing you know, there's a train wreck in your mouth ! I HATE (actually,i'm afraid) DENTISTS !
Reply:Start by asking friends and family members if they can recommend a dentist. Once you have found one ask what your options are. If you have insurance check to see what they will cover and then go for the best replacement. Implant or bridge. Your dentist will decide if you need an orthodontist or a periodontist. Good Luck.

False teeth?

i am a teen for the last 9 years or so i have had teeth problems but lately it has got-in whores do you think i should get false teeth

False teeth?
Talk to your Dentist about it.


Try to save the teeth you have.
Reply:why don't you just whittle a pair?
Reply:No. You probably won't be happy with them. The top ones are usually fine, but bottom ones usually slip around and are a hassle. Besides, you're a teenager, right? You don't want to deal with that for the rest of your life.





Take care of what you've got. If there's no way possible to salvage what you've got or if there's no possible way you could afford fixing what you've got, then maybe consider dentures, but only as a very last resort. : )

my front teeth are crooked, i have more cavities than i can count and my wisdom teeth are coming in and crumbling as soon as they break the surface. I steer clear of sweets as much as possible but the main problem is i am TERRIFIED of the dentist. The last time I went I had a panic attack in the waiting room. The smell makes me want to gag. I can't even watch my fiance brush his teeth, it just grosses me out. I think I have a teeth phobia maybe...

Teeth problem?

ever since young i didn't take care of my teeth and end up my teeth are yellowish and not straight. when i was much younger the dentist advise my parents to pluck away my tiger tooth but in the end my parents did not andend up my top teeths are ugly.this has cause me to be low confidence. and i do not dare to smile much even though people say i got a nice smile. i know braces will be a choice but it take a long time. is there any other solution? i know i got an ugly set of teeth and it make me feel lousy of myself. how much is such solution?

depending on how old you are you can have the tooth removed(im saying this,but can see what it looks like so dont qoute me on it) go to the detist and see your options maybe they can remove it..its not too late to have nice teeth...and they're is always bleaching(crest whitestrips work well) with sensodine toothpaste to help with sensitivity of whitening your teeth..you could do braces or if your younger wait and you can have invisalign done..clear,looks like a mouth gaurd ..nobody will see you are wearing it..straightens teeth..good luck..you are not alone
Reply:Braces might have to be the way to go. Buy crest white strips and try to whiten your teeth. Gargle with crest pro health. I reccomend it cause it helped me out a lot. I dont know of any other way unless you drill decay away. Braces help straighten up thing. Im not a dentist, but I have been to 4 different ones. Plus hygentists. very painful hehe. hope this helps.

Tooth problems!?

Between my two back teeth on the left hand side I have a really bad pain. It's not there until I bite down on my teeth, but when I do it's unbearable! I've seen my dentist and she said that nothing's wrong, but it's been like this for a week. She put two fillings in, but on other teeth.


Do you think it could be due to grinding my teeth which I do subconsciously? Any other explanations and tips to make the pain go away?


Thanks!

Tooth problems!?
i think u should ask another dentist
Reply:Wisdom teether are impacted. Go get them ripped out before they ruin the rest of them.
Reply:See another dentist.
Reply:You could get a mouth guard to wear at night. That could protect from grinding. And maybe make the pain go away. Whisky helps too!
Reply:I had the same problem years ago, and it ended up being a small hairline fracture on my tooth. once they fixed it all the pain went away.
Reply:Are you sure you dont have something stuck in there? Maybe get a second opinion.
Reply:It def can be from teeth grinding...get a new dentist and a night guard for your mouth to prevent teeth grinding...This happened to my friends sis
Reply:It could be a piece of food stuck below the gum line. You could have gotten a periodontal pocket, which is essentially a divet in the gum line, caused by eating sharp food, over-flossing, or over brushing. The best bet is to have a good cleaning, and if that doesn't work, as your dentist for a topical cream to help desenstize the area.
Reply:I had this some years ago and it turned out to be an impacted wisdom tooth. It didn't go away until the tooth blocking it was taken out. Ask your Dentist to do an X-Ray.
Reply:YES! I had this same exact problem...the dentist filed down the tooth that was coming into contact with it and it doesn't hurt any more. Go to the dentist and tell him/her exactly what's happening because it will just get worse. Have an x-ray done and have your bite checked out, it is probably uneven like mine. Also afterwards you might get a mouthpiece for bruxism. (nighttime teeth grinding)
Reply:I would get a new dentist asap. Who knows what the problem is. Probably a crack tooth which would require a crown. I would definitly get a second opinion.





Good Luck
Reply:I think that you might want to go back to the dentist. If she still doesn't see any thing wrong, you could try buying something like the mouth guards that are used in sports to try to prevent grinding your teeth. It is possible that the pain is coming from that but I would be sure that you don't have an infected tooth.
Reply:I have the exact same problem, I want to know what it is! I hope your pain goes soon!
Reply:Using a natural remedy is the oldest form of medicine, and a natural remedy is still considered by many to be the best way to treat the body. Your natural remedy works with the body, and may not cause health problems associated with unnatural products. Simply put, natural remedy treatments are natural ways to better health.
Reply:I had something similar several years ago. It turned out my bite was wrong and I was biting too hard because one of the filings was slightly too much. The dentist burred the filing down a bit and I was fine afterwards. Apparently there was uneven wear on the filing which told him this was the problem.





Mind you, it could also be due to you grinding your teeth when you are asleep and loosening a tooth. I've done that too.





A decent dentist shouldn't just ignore problems like this ...go back and insist she has another look. If she refuses change your dentist.





Try rubbing 'oil of cloves' on the tooth...tastes horrible but works for a bit. It does need to be the oil and not clove essence.

Tooth problems/habits?

I bite my nails and then take it off and put it in my mouth and put it in between my gums like floss. I know, it's discusting, but it's a habit, and it's like self medicating, or whatever you call it, it hurts but I like how it feels. Its fricking weird! Does anybody else do this? Anyways, the bottom of all my teeth touch, but around the front on some teeth you can notice that there is a slight hole in between the two teeth by the gums, on my two front teeth. It's embarrassing, but it makes me self-conscious. Sometimes you can't even notice it, but I'm doing this for myself. I am getting braces soon. Will this fix it?

Tooth problems/habits?
Braces might fix it. It's hard to say for sure without knowing your dental history.

Teeth problem! Pleasse help!?

I have a ugly gap about a centimeter in a half wide between my two front teeth. I hate hate hate it. Braces are too expensive for us right now so I can't do that, but does anybody know of any home remedies for, ummm, moving teeth together.??





When I'm bored and just sitting watching tv or something I try to take my two thumbs and work on pushing them together a little bit but I dont know if it works. What about putting a thin rubber band around the two teeth to push them together more?? Lol, please help!!!!!!!!!





btw, I know I cant do anything too drastic without real braces because it might cause weirder gaps in some other teeth, I just want to close the gap a little =]

Teeth problem! Pleasse help!?
just braces==thats it==
Reply:No home remedies that I know of.However if braces are not an option your dentist can bond tooth colored filling material to close the gap.Its usually more cost effective but may need to be replaced in about 7-10 years depending on your home care and staining.Another option is veneers much longer lasting and do not discolor.However the cost will be significantly higher.If these to teeth are your only problem the orthodontist may only need to put bracket's on those to.That may also be less expensive.Have a consultation.
Reply:Do not worry so much about them. In our Kurdish culture this is a sign of good luck.





Good luck
