Hi, I always clean them with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Just like I clean my teeth, really. But there's always some leftover, and I want to know what the best way to do this is? I've had one before, but the last one wasn't as difficult to clean as this one. LG Laura
I'm now in my child's 10th year of crossbite treatment. Surgery was planned (to reposition the upper jaw). This involved removing all four wisdom teeth as a preventative measure. The orthodontist couldn't state a medical necessity. After obtaining information from the surgeon, only two wisdom teeth needed to be removed. When I asked the orthodontist…
Hello, I had my palatal expansion surgery in February and now wear braces. I'm 22 and have a unilateral crossbite (and a very slight underbite), and I was told that there isn't much that can be done about it without the bimax surgery. In any case, I'm extremely scared of the surgery, especially for the…
Hey, I was always hit hard in the face as a child, like getting a lot of slaps in the face, etc. I wanted to ask if something like that could be the reason my teeth are a bit crooked. Thanks in advance for the answers.
My tongue barely has any room in my upper jaw because of the braces. What should I do now?
Hello, I haven't worn my night brace for a week because I lost it (only for my lower jaw). It's actually shifted a little. Unfortunately, I can't call until tomorrow. Should I be worried? It's shifted slightly, but really only a few millimeters. I'm actually done with my braces and now I only wear them…
Hello! I recently got a palatal brace because of my crossbite, but I recently read in some comments that people got fixed braces afterward. I wanted to ask if that's true.
I've been having some problems with my crossbite for the past two months, but the braces cost around €5,000/€6,000, which my parents can't afford, and I'm only 12. What can I do or should I go to the dentist again?
Hello, I've had a one-sided scissor bite for a long time. I asked my dentist again today if it needs to be treated, and she said, "No, it's fine. It just happens." I didn't get braces as a child either, even though the school dentist suggested I should. What do you say to this? Dentists,…
My orthodontist diagnosed me with a crossbite. She then explained several treatment options to me. A) Surgery. I'd like to avoid that if possible, of course, since it's a pretty major procedure. B) Fixed braces. I'd do it immediately, but at several thousand euros, that's too much for me to afford right now. C) A…
It's mainly about the incisors, a bite on the head according to the dentist. Treatment would probably cost 4-5k, since I'm 22 (not a child). And apparently it's not covered by insurance either. So, KIG 1-2, right? Here's what it looks like: The upper incisors are directly over the lower ones, and one of them…
Hello, I noticed a few months ago that one side of my jaw is larger than the other. My lower incisors also measure the upper ones by a few millimeters (3-5mm, I estimate). I'll make an appointment with the orthodontist as soon as possible tomorrow, but I wanted to ask if braces would still be…
