Which dental brace is the best?

Do you get a crown after a root canal?
If it is a back tooth, your dentist will suggest that you have a crown placed on the tooth after a root canal to protect the tooth as it will become brittle and will be vulnerable to breakage from strong chewing forces. READ MORE
How can you fix gum pain from dentures?

How long after tooth implant surgery can I get crown?
Your dentist should advise you as to when it will be time to get a crown after implant placement. It typically takes roughly 4-6 months before your crown can be placed. READ MORE
I forgot my retainer for 2.5 weeks will it still fit?
I would just try seating them as soon as I get back. It will probably be really tight at first but I would wear full time for about a month and go back to wearing them nightly after that. Youi want to wear them nightly so that you form a habit of putting them in daily so you won't have these gaps in wearing them. It's easy to forget something that is not in your normal daily routine and realize weeks later that you haven't worn them. Good luck! READ MORE
Can you have an implant without a bone graft?
Yes, but that depends on the quality and volume of bone in the area where the implant is to be placed. If the doctor placing the implant determines that the bone is not adequate to place an implant, then he/she will recommend grafting prior to placing the implant. You don't want to spend thousand of dollars placing an implant that fails due to inadequate bone. READ MORE
What happens if you get a cavity with braces?
Yes, you can have a cavity filled while wearing braces. You don’t want the problem to become worse, so periodic evaluation from your general dentist is a must while wearing braces. Contact your orthodontist to have him/her remove your wire and/or bracket on the tooth that needs repair. After the cavity is filled, your orthodontist can replace the bracket and wire to continue moving forward with your orthodontic treatment. READ MORE
Do you need braces to fix a few teeth?
It really depends on what needs to occur to fix those few teeth. It may be that the issue can be fixed with a retainer or some type of clear aligner system. The person really needs to see a licensed orthodontist to assess the situation to give you a definite answer. I hope this helps you. Dr. White Brown READ MORE
