No one can give you the answer to that but your ortho. Doctors often use different practices even in the same situation.\n\nWhy not ask her when you see her on Wednesday before she starts any work and at least that way you'll know exactly what's going to happen.\n\nGood luck!!!! :)

I work FOR a Dentist.:) \nUsually the dentist would do the bonding so that you don't have to go through the expense and time of orthodontia work. Especially if your other teeth are straight and your bite is correct. I'm sure your dentist would be willing to discuss all options that would work best for you. You should really talk to Him/Her.

I have braces (I am 28) and I have to have 3 wisdom teeth cut out, along with 4 teeth pulled. I only have a few months left, but so far all my spaces have come together beautifully.

Ok so before I was an RN I was a RDA for 14 years in an orthodontists office. So this is you anwer, your teeth must get loose or they cannot be moved into the new position. The wires streatch the periodontal ligaments (the tiny muscle that hold the teeth into the socket) also a small amount of bone is resorbed around the root of the tooth. When the orthodontist has your teeth in position they will be held in place with a heavy arch wire that will support them. The bone will be regrown around the root of the tooth and the ligaments will "learn" the new position. When you have your braces removed you will need to wear retainers like a splint for a broken arm. If you do as you are told and follow instructions all will be well. Have faith and smile!\nJulia, RN

As a practicing orthodontist, I can offer you the following advice: Seek the services of a board certified orthodontist in your area. Don't go to general dentists or shop prices at "clinics."  The orthodontist will do a complete diagnostic workup, (models, x-rays, photos. etc) He/She will then have a treatment conference with you to discuss results. Invisalign can only work in selected cases. Ceramic braces are for more difficult problems that invisalign can't correct. As a last resort, consider having crowns or laminates placed.  They involve tooth preparation (reduction in size and shape) prior to cementing.\nGood luck.\nNJ orthodontist

Bob wasn't very nice. What a crappy comment.  You should be able to get a referral to an orthodontist for your child through her dental office. Lots of orthodontic offices offer free consultations/estimates which can be beneficial especially if you don't have dental insurance. Good luck and don't pay attn. to Bob. Always consult your dentist for the best advice concerning yoru dental health.

No one will be able to tell you for sure over without seeing you. It sounds like more than likely you will not be a good candidate for this.  This type of of orthodontics is to fix less severe cases of orthodontic issues. The first thing you need to do is go for a consultation with an orthodontist that does Invisaline, they don't all do it, and he will be able to tell you if you are a candidate. Good Luck!!!!

i have an overbite too! (i got mine on yesterday) ok u should call your orthidontist and them if they are going to put spacers in (they are painful, but it will get u ready for the pain of your braces and it won't make your braces as painful) (i think spacers are worse than braces but my braces arent killing me cause i had the spacers) ( i had a friend that didn't get spacers and she didn't eat for like almost 3 days cause he braces hurt so bad...)

It is possible to straighten out your smile.  Orthodontics is a procedure used to correct the position of your teeth.  The Orthodontist will apply metal braces or an invisiline in your case.  \n\nMost patients say there is discomfort, but no extreme pain.\n\nThe procedure will cost you anywhere from $2000-$8000 depending on the severity of your teeth's dislocation, insurance and your specialist's usual fees.  It can take years to complete the treatment.

An Orthodontist.. is a specialist for Braces, only. \n\nMost General Dentist, can take them out... He'll take an x'ray to confirm its something he can do. If he cant, he'll refer you to an Oral Surgeon, in your area.

To get it done properly will cost few thousand pounds. On NHS I really wouldn`t recommend it if you want to look good and chew comfortably in the future. If you want good looking braces add a few hundred to the fee...

believe it or not i just got my braces off on tuesday, after having them for 2 yrs and 4 months. i went through pretty much everything orthodontal from rubber bands to a palate expander to retainers and "tongue cribs" (you don't even want to know); I think u get the picture. So i guess u could say I'm pretty much an expert on this sort of thing. Soft foods, of course, would be the thing to go with. I'd honestly have to say soup. Ice cream's good too. Or yogurt or even mac and cheese - basically anything soft and anything that u feel comfy eating. Good luck - and I'm sure your smile will soon be absolutely gorgeous!

I would think so. Most orthodontists can tell what the other is trying to do because they are experienced enough.

Oh My God, \nI sure hope you are not going to try to fix your teeth yourself.  You will be heading for disaster!! You have to go to a orthodontist.  First, go to a regular dentist so he can clean your teeth, fix any thing wrong, then he will send you to the orthodontist for braces.  Those two doctors will work together to give you the best dental health.  If you start messing with your teeth, you could end up with major, major problems.  Please go to a regular dentist asap. \nGood luck!!

I have had lots of work done at a Dental college.  I was happy with the work but, it took longer than a normal dental office and required alot more time and visits.  But remember they are getting graded so they are going to do the best they can and the instructors will check all of their work.  My husband and son both had their braces done at the Dental college and their teeth look great.
