My son's permanent teeth are growing crooked. Should I take him to an orthodontist?
Some dentists will be able to let you know the proper time to go see the orthodontist. However, most orthodontists do not charge for initial consultations, so now referral from a dentist is necessary. Do an internet search for the best orthodontists in your area and set up an appointment. Thanks. Hope that helps, Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE
After five weeks of completing my braces treatment my tooth hurts.
Go let your orthodontist know about your issues first. The orthodontist can either take care of them or will refer you to a general dentist to help. Thanks! Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE
After removing my braces, my cheeks have swollen up. What could be the reason?
Hello. You may have an allergy to the latex gloves that were used during the removal appointment. Thanks, Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE
Does having braces hurt?
Yes. Braces can uncomfortable for the first 24-48 hours. Once the “getting used” to them is over, there are no longer any issues. Thanks. Dr. Colin Gibson READ MORE
My daughter’s middle tooth seems to be out of line from the remaining teeth. Can this be corrected with braces?
Hello - Yes, orthodontic treatment can correct midline discrepancies. Please seek out a certified orthodontist for a consultation. We wish you the best! Dr. G READ MORE
I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?
I would recommend more hours of wear for the next few months. Try to wear your retainers whenever you have free time. Hope that helps! Dr. G READ MORE
What if only one tooth is crooked?
Hello and thanks for the question. Even if only one tooth is crooked, orthodontists must use the surrounding teeth as "anchors" in order to straighten it. Yes, the other teeth will move slightly (in a good way), but the majority of movement will be in the straightening of the one crooked tooth. Invisalign Treatment is also a great option for simple cases. Make sure you go to a certified Orthodontic Specialist for a proper diagnosis. Hope this helps. Dr. G READ MORE
