I think every case is different. Unfortunately when I saw the consultant orthodontist at our hospital he advised, that in my case I would need surgery

Wow. What a difference. You have lovely teeth and smile. You are going to get a lot if compliments

I am not sure about mobility. Although I needed to have an extraction in December due to infection. The dentist said it wasn't possible to save it as it was mobile. From the orthodontist letter I read it that the orthodontist will wait to hear from the dentist that my gum disease is stable which he ...

My orthodontist wrote to my dentist with his report and he sent me a copy. In the letter it states what he would like the dentist to do, check etc. He advised he is hoping that 3-6 months to hear back from the dentist when my periodontal disease is stable. He recommended scale and debridement. I hav...

Hi Caz. I am in a similar situation. I have attended an ortho appointment and I have peridontal disease with some bone loss. I have started this later in life-late 40s.

Hi,

I have an overjet of approx 10mm. Has anyone had braces to fix this or is it surgery? Dentist advised that my lower jaw was back

Do you think now it's under control it should be okay

Hi,

I have had gum disease but it looks like this is in control now. I have an orthodontics first appointment next week. Can having gum disease stop you having braces?

Hi, I am new to the forum. I had invisalign about 8 years ago and unfortunately didn't realise the importance of wearing a retainer. Over the years since my teeth have shifted. At the time of my invisalign 8 years ago, it wasn't mentioned about my overjet and overbite. I didn't realise I had them. H...
