English Speakers! Need Help To Revise Paragraph #3??

By Orthodontics Editor, on August 5th, 2009

Here’s the third paragraph….. Could you check it please?
Insurance coverage is not enough to pay for medical attention. A person can be paying her or his insurance mostly; but coverage is not enough to pay for a doctor appointment. In some cases, insurance companies do not want to cover most of the medical attention provided by doctors or hospitals. My mother went to the dentist six months ago to seek treatment for a toothache. After several exams, the doctor discovered that she needed three orthodontics. The final cost for her treatment was calculated to be seven thousand dollars; she did not have the option and went to our country (El Salvador) and received the same treatment for only seven hundred dollars. Is it necessary to go to another country to do this?
I do not want to suggest that they should have to pay for our illnesses, but medical service providers and insurance companies have to be in agreement to provide high quality medical service with affordable costs.

Do I Need Braces Again? I Didn’t Wear My Retainer.?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 17th, 2009

Hello everyone. I had my braces removed when i just turned 17, and I only wore my retainer at night due to vanity, and stupidity. Now I am 20 and I regret it so much now. I currently have a small gap between my front teeth, and slightly on the sides of my front teeth. The teeth haven’t shifted dramatically in any other way though……I have an appointment with an orthodontist coming up, but I hope that I do not have to go back to braces. Anyways, is all that shifting safe for my teeth? Can I get away with a new retainer, or invisalign?
You help would be appreciated!!
And kids, please wear your retainers!!!

Do Parents Have A Responsibilty To Get Orthodontics For Their Kids If They Need It?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 13th, 2009

im a young adult who needs $12,000 in dental work and jaw realignment because i didnt get orthodontics as a child when the dentist said i needed them.
my parents are seperated : my father refused to pay for anything when i was a child (hes quite wealthy) and my mother and her partner chose to be hippies living off welfare (so they had no money for it)
is it wrong of me to now ask them for the $4,000 the dentist quoted for my teeth as a child?
considering all the pain and suffering, and the fact that all these problems are a direct result of a serverly bad bite, should i be upset with them and ask for the whole amount i have to pay now?
i have a very small income and no dental insurance

People With Braces? I Need Help!

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 3rd, 2009

O.K., I am 13 years old. I am a model and I just got braces. I’m afraid having braces will ruin my career as a model. I asked my orthodontist about Invisalign, but he said I was not a candidate because most of my problems are with my jaw. Is there anything else I can do? I am seriously upset and sad, and angry!

If One Of My Invisalign Trays Has A Small Crack, But Still Is One Piece And Fits Ok, Do I Need To Replace?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 2nd, 2009

This happened to my last tray towards the end and it was fine, but I just started this one on Sunday and I feel a small crack. Its in between two teeth and not all the way through, as the tray is still in one piece and seems to be working fine. Since I replace trays every two weeks, do I need to do anything since its not major and doesn’t seem to be affecting anything?
Also, I had lingual attachments added yesterday and two came off. I’ll probably get them replaced next week, but how much would it affect me if I didn’t get them replaced till my appointment next month? They were on my pre-molars I think on one side?? All other attachments are fine, my teeth are very sore so I know its working. Any orthodontists with an opinion?

I Need Advise On Whether I Should Get Regular Braces Or Invisalign?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 24th, 2009

I recently had some work done, got bridges on both of my upper back teeth, each is a 5 unit bridge.
The dentist that did this work has been adjusting them.
Since then I’ve been noticing that my teeth are sprading out more than they were, they call it an overjet..
I am uncomftorable with my smile and want to get them fixed, same dentist that did my bridges suggested that I get invisalign, that he would bring my upper teeth in, and the lower bring out, because my jaw is in, that I had never heard.
Second option went to an orthodontist said there is not much space to push my teeth in, but can deffenitely get some results closing the spaces and pushing them in, and the lower would be coming in as well
opposite of what the other dentist told me.
I have also been to different orthontists and all say we cant work on your teeth there is no room to move them back.
I am confused dont know if I should go to the dentist that worked on my bridges and still went back to him more than 4 times for adjustments and if now they will be ok.
Or go to the orthodontist that offers me clear braces for $1,500 less than getting invisalign,
Who do you think would do a better job, honestly?

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
