really, your dentists needs to look at you and evaulate the situation in your mouth. its impossible to say here what an orthodontists would ideally need for you to get the best treatment with braces. your dentist and orthodontist would consult on this using your xrays ect to decide.

Hi,\n \nI appreciate that this isn't strictly speaking in South Yorkshire but a trip to Wakefield shouldn't take too long .\n\nI'm a Dental Hygienist in West Yorkshire, we refer a lot of our patients here for private work...\n\nhttp://www.horburydentalcare.co.uk/practice.html\n\n\nThere website has their private fee list on it, which seems more reasonable than you were quoted, I have seen some really good crowns on some of my patients that we have referred here.\n\nHope this helps, good luck in finding someone !

I think it depends on your health isurance.  If your insurance says you have to have a referral to a specialist then you need to go to the family doctor first.  If not, then I would go to an Orthaepedic doctor.  Ask around for a good one, try friends, or family.  Another good source would be someone who works quite closely with them.  For instance, I am an x-ray tech.  I have on many occasions reccommended a good orthaepedic doctor.  Tell your family doc to take an x-ray, you will kill two birds with one stone.  One, you'll find out if you could possibly have any arthritis or joint space narrowing and secondly, you'll be able to ask the tech.  Most of us are happy to spread the news of a good doc.  Unfortunately, there are several bad ones.  Be careful and good luck!!

go to your local dentists website\n\nfind his email adress and email him. Surely he'll say yes. Worst comes to worst it will be an interview via email.

HI,\nMEDICAL INSURANCE WILL NOT FOR YOUR BRACES.  IF YOU HAD DENTAL INSURANCE THAT INCLUDED ORTHODONTICS, THAT WOULD HELP.  THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A NEW PATIENT CHECK UP AT THE ORTHODONTIST OFFICE, DO THE EXAM AND LET THEM GIVE YOUR PARENTS OPTIONS ON HOW TO PAY. MANY ORTHO OFFICES LET YOU PAY ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND THEY ALSO HAVE LOAN PROGRAMS.  AT LEAST GO FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT TO FIND OUT YOUR OPTIONS.  GOOD LUCK.

I had been in an accident that left me with shattered front teeth. I was self-conscious about it. Before I could get them fixed, some jackass (a complete stranger) walked up to me and very coldly said, "Your teeth look sooooo stupid. Why do you walk around looking like that? You'd better get those teeth fixed RIGHT NOW because your f**ked-up face is making me want to puke." I was really embarrassed. Did he think that I didn't realize that my dental work was messed up? There are little things called "appointments" that you have to make with doctors to get things done, you know. I had to wait until the dental clinic could get me in for that large a repair job, because it was going to be a rather long ordeal. Anyway, that comment was the absolute last thing I needed to hear.

From your description, it sounds like you could have what orthodontists call a "cross-bite" (but hard to say without seeing you!).  This will almost certainly lead to increased wear on the teeth involved, and possibly others.  Fixing it could be as easy as moving a few teeth, or may involve full braces or other appliances, depending on if the problem is your teeth or the way your upper and lower jaws line up.  An orthodontist can tell you for sure....the best time to get braces is in your teens....the teeth move a bit faster and tonnes of people that age have them, so its no big deal.  I'd check it out.

Hi,\n\nyou have brought up an "complicated" questions - pretty par with MM diagnosis.\n\nFirst question is:  how you doing?  I worry more about P.N. from  the Thal/Dex than Osteo from the infusion\n\nThere are a bunch of studies on Ostenecrosis going on at present.  The susceptibility to this is caused by the Zometa infusion.\n\n  Best way to avoid problem with Zometa (lots of other side effects) is to make sure you have long infusion times with plenty of hydration before and after \n\nMost important is VERY good dental support. \n\n Make sure your dentist has all the information and the studies - i make copies and give them to him every time I go in.  \n\nThere is a lot more information on this and the studies at the IMF website:   myeloma.org.  And you can call their hot line for more information (on the site)\n\nThis question has been going around the MMA support web group and the ACOR list too.  So check there for more information; some of our members are in studies around the question and could give you some "front line answers".\n\ngood luck\n\nJewells of AA\n27 month survivor and going strong

amissybell, why don't you watch who you're calling gay? Saktoth happens to be my boyfriend. Don't bloody well make assumptions like that. Not only that, he's asked a perfectly serious question, clearly after a serious response.\nNo wonder you've only got a 3% best answer rate.\n\nSorry Saktoth, you already know that I think you should go and see a dentist about it to see if it's in danger of cracking completely and that I don't know what would have caused it.

Did the orthodontist give you any proxabrushes?  They look like little Christmas tree shaped bristles.  These work great to get all the plaque out from around the brackets.   Also using an electric toothbrush (like a Sonicare) helps massage the gums and remove plaque.  Some of the inflammation could be from moving the teeth, if you had a lot of spacing and the teeth are moving closer.  But usually it comes down to not removing all the bacteria.  Ortho requires meticulous oral hygiene.  I am sure I dont hae to tell you that all kinds of stuff gets caught around the brackets!!  \nI wouldnt rinse with peroxide for very long, long term usage can actually harm the tissue.  Instead ask your dentist or orthodontist if they can give you a RX fro PerioGard, or if they have it available to purchase in office.  This rinse kills bacteria better than any over the counter rinse.  If you dont want to use that rinse try Breath Rx rinse or the new Crest Pro Health rinse.  I would stay away from Listerine because it contains a lot of alcohol which actually dries the tissue.\nInterested if you are experiencing a lot of bleeding along with the swollen gums.  This is the telltale sign that it is due to bacteria and plaque more than movement of the teeth.\nKey is brush, floss, proxabrush, rinse.  Also try a waterpik that flushes bacteria and debris from around the brackets and gums.  \nGood Luck, remember it will be over eventually and then you will appreciate how much easier it is to clean your teeth without all that stuff!!

There is an office of Osteopaths on Park Ave, very near General Hospital.  They appear to be some of the most progressive in the area.\n\nIf you do not have any luck with them, you could check with the younger Dr. Dan Federovich, on  Vestal Parkway.\n\nI no longer live in the area, so I do not have access to a local phone book.\n\nI hope this helps you.
