Hi,

I have a question about braces. Do orthodontists have to put in the brackets parallel to the jaw?

Or can they adjust the brackets if your jaw is crooked or slanted? The reason I ask is because my teeth are becoming straight but in a slanted way and I think that if my orthodontist would adjust my brackets it would camoflage the defect and would make my teeth look straight to the eye even if in reality some of my teeth would be shorter than others.

Please let me know if this is something that can be done so that I can bring it up to my orthodontists. Please let me know if this is something that orthodontists study when becoming an orthodontist.

Thanks so much,
J

I have a tooth that I never got filled, and now it's breaking off at the sides and I'm visiting the dentist soon. I really don't want an ugly silver cap. Can they give me a fake tooth like they'd do a front tooth?

I heard implant is not good because the presence of metal in the body which is a foreign material and the body will act with antibodies.Also that if you have dentures,even partial , the bones will retract and you will look older . How are the dentures now days,can you really eat good with them and what happens if you forget taking them off during sleep?

I have developed a slight throbbing toothache on a tooth that only shows a tiny cavity. It is sensitive to the tap. Not sensitive to hot or cold yet though. Any dentists, endodontists or RDA's out there that can help? Does this mean I need another root canal? I left a msg with my dental office today.

and I wasn't sure if I HAVE to get it replaced or put back in? It was first a root canal about 3 years ago, then crowned last year.

I popped a piece of gum in last night while I was at a banquet and my tooth fell onto my tongue, stuck to the gum. The whole thing, crown, post and all. It's not very noticeable, top left 4th from the front, and I really don't want to waste my time or money getting it put back in or replaced. Not to mention how sensitive to pain my mouth is.

Is it okay to just leave it alone? I am 20 years old and have very bad teeth (runs in the family, both sides) so I know this unfortunately won't be the last one.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Does it need cleaned out by a dentist or anything?

It's certainly not as bad as pissing in the shower, which I don't usually do, but I'm not gonna get out of the shower just to take a piss unless there's someone in there with me, in which case it wouldn't be very polite.

Someone who has or had braces, how do you do it? It just seems that it's difficult to get between those back teeth.

Since you brushed the night before and are not removing any food particles, won't using mouth rinse be just as good at killing germs.

I felt pain in my tooth and a little swelling in my left cheek. I went to the dentist and he told me I might have a tooth abscess, that's why my face is swelling. He then done a root canal for me. He said he didn't want to start me on antibotics because he was afraid of people getting immune to too many antibiotics. He prescribed me some anyways, but told me to hold on to it until the swelling get worse. It did got worse, and I started on antibiotics pen V 500mg q6h. Swelling hasn't gone done at all with pain. What should i do? Is it going to get bigger? It hurt so much I cried today.

Okay, I had a really bad tooth { molar } i went and got it removed after 2 maybe 3 years FINALLY. Im really scared of the dentist and the reason i got it fixed was because of my jaw. and that was last monday. i got really scared. if you feel that area that curves for your jaw, mine goes up more and is getting thinner then my other jaw . DOES NOT HURT. and lately, its been getting thinner. I asked my doctor this when he pulled my tooth the other day and he said it could possible be my wisdom teeth and he didnt even seem that he was worried at all. he even took a full xray of my jaw line even with my teeth. so what do i do.? i know this is not normal. please someone help me. if you have any questions please go to my profile page and click on email me. please i need to know. thank you

I got all my molars when i was younger on time and none of them hurt. I'm clueless about wisdom teeth (seeing that i have never had any). My mom is schedualing a dentist appointment for me.
