How does an orthodontist move the upper cuspids slightly outward without using braces?

Depends on how far inwards the tooth is.  For best results, a cuspid with long roots are best orthodontically moved bodily with fixed appliances.....braces.  If you only tip a cuspid to align it to the arch, you may have relapse in the long run.

Im in the dental industry and i havent heard about speedy braces. There is Invisalign that usually cuts your time.

I know someone who was in a similar situation, and they went to a different dentist and paid that dentist a small fee to remove the braces for them.  You don't have to have the braces removed by the same dentist who put them on.

Alright... for the people that think this is insane...IT CAN WORK...if you are not willing to go through the process of orthodontics and you are very diligent in the popsicle stick.  Orthodontics move teeth by putting a force on the tooth over a period of time.  Often an upper tooth will get "trapped" behind the lower teeth.  AN orthodontist to correct this problem would temporarily open the bite and then push this tooth forward.  The tooth can't get over the bottom teeth naturally because everytime you close or bite...there is a force pushing it back to where is was.  The only problem with a popsicle stick is you have very little control on where you would push the tooth and you would have to have the popsicle stick in there for at least 6-8 hours of the day for many days (this would vary greatly) to jump the bottom tooth.  Obviously this would be hard.  If you did not want or couldn't afford braces....another option would be a retainer with a wire attached pushing the tooth forward...again the bite would need to be opened.  All of this though depends on space for that tooth...If the tooth got to its current position because there wasn't enough room for it...then neither option would work well.

well,  proclination of teeth is refered to as over jet , and excessive vertical bite is know as over bite , as u mentioned both over bite and proclination ( over jet ) , let me clearly tell u 'bot the treatment , \n for proclination ( over jet ) : i f sufficient space or gaps r present between u r teeth then u can go for either removable or fixed appliances .  Removable like  hawleys appliance with labial bow \nand fixed apliances like brackets and arch wire fixed to ur teeth .\n if u don't have enough space u r premolars either 1st or 2nd pre molar and some times both have to get extracted , and retrocline in to the proclined teeth in to  the space provided after extractions .

i'm not sure, but i do want to give you kudos for looking into lingual orthodontics!  i've been interested in how those are done for a while now!  the biggest problems with those, from what i've learned, are hygiene and discomfort with the tongue.  also the tongue can actually impeade in the movement if the movement needed is lingual.  but good luck with this!

you might need to ask a orthodontist this question, you may need some braces or a retainer to put your jaw in the correct alignment.

Orthodontists do not place implants.  Implants are placed through a surgical procedure, so they are only placed by people with extensive surgical training!  Implants are placed by either Periodontists, Oral Surgeons and some General Dentists.  Orthodontists place braces on the teeth to straighten them or make room for implants.  Some Orthodontists will use implants as anchorage for tooth movement, but they do not place the implants themselves.  If you want to find a school that places dental implants, look for schools or hospitals that have either: Post-Graduate Periodontic Programs, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Programs, or Surgical Implant programs.  It would help if I knew where you were located, then I could hel a but more!

Upper and lower arches will run an avg of 4000.00, of course you can find them cheaper, but be careful where you go. I would recommend a board certified orthodontist if you have some major crowding, spacing or bite issues. If it is for some minor movement or minor cosmetic movement you could try a general practice dentist and it would probably be less expensive. always ask friends,relatives or call a dental office you trust and ask to speak with the hygienist. Ask her off the record who she would go to for braces and who she would not. They see the crappy work of some orthodontist and know who they are. The key is "off the record". Hope this helps

ORTHODONTIC surgery isn't that risky, usually it's just where the cut open your jaw and move it to the correct position

put one end of the band under your foot.  bring the other end up with your hand over and behind your head.  keeping your elbow stationary pull the band over your head to straighten your arm.  it is very important you keep your elbow as stationary as possible so it will be effective. (repeat on other side)

Remember to walk with head up, shoulders pulled back over your hips. Take each step with that posture maintained. Place each foot in front of the other foot in line as if you were waliking a tight rope. Strike heel first softly and purposefully. Each stride must come from the swivel of your hip and the tightening of the opposing but muscle--like you are sqeezing the opposite but cheek as you place the leg forward AND around in front of the other foot. It will cause your hips to sway gracefully and alluringly  as you walk like a model on a runway. Don't slouch or slump. The head shoulders and hips must remain aligned always, even when sitting. Legs stay together (I guess your parents would agree with that idea) at all times when sitting but you can angle the shins to one side or the other to form a gracefull folded shape.

Retainers are the transition out of braces.  In order for the brace work to hold properly, a retainer must be used to help in transition.\n\n.

If the retainer doesn't fit well, it may need to be adjusted by the orthodontist. Ask his recommendation for your further treatment.

NOPE !!! don't worry about it, my boyfriend and I both wear braces and we have never gotten stuck. Just be careful not to hit each other when you are going to kiss, you might hurt each other that way. ;)

It will be hard to find many dentists that are willing to do "lingual" braces.  They are very hard to place on patIEnts and very hard to keep on patients.  Due to their placement on the backs of the teeth, you are very prone to biting the brackets off.  They are not very comfortable to your tongue and a nightmare to keep clean.  Depending how much movement you need to achieve, invisible braces may work (ie. Invisalign).  they are clear plastic trays that are changed every two weeks that "slowly" move your teeth into place.  However, they are not ideal for every case.  They are move aesthetic that conventional metal braces, but they have their limitations.  You may also want to consider ceramic braces.  They are placed on the front of your teeth similar to conventional metal braces, but they are tooth colored.  In my opinion, braces (whether metal or ceramic) can achieve your desired results usually faster than the invisible braces and they can control the movement of the teeth better.  As for retention. if you do the invisible braces, your last tray will become your "Permanent" Retainer.  With braces, your Orthodontist will probably suggest a conventional acrylic retainer with a metal wire in front.  Now this is not as esthetic; however, it allows your Orthodontist to "fine tune" your teeth even after the braces have come off!  Hope that this proves helpful!
