The treatment it's been almost a year already with braces, my face is too narrow and small because of the extraction of the 4 bicuspid, can i still reopen the space again? since all of the canine moves into the premolar spot, except the upper have space left from the canine haven't closes yet. I can see my face the more the space get closes the more my face get slimmer and looks horrible, should i stop the treatment now or i continues? No other ortho from tx wants to take my case bc of lawsuit.
I am not sure of all the circumstances in your case but generally speaking...
If you are young and have healthy gums and teeth (healthy periodontal tissue), you may open up the spaces. *
We have taken patients in the middle of treatment in the past but unfortunately many doctors and dentists have to be very careful helping patients in the middle of treatment because our system allows for many frivolous law suits but even if not, attorneys love to get everyone involved so the new doctor may have to spend countless hours in court for something he will never recover from! As you know doctors are so busy seeing patients all day long and their time is very valuable. ... I wonder if you can ask an attorney, if you can sign a document promising that you will never involve your new doctor in a law suit in your case. Only then someone may take your case?! It’s worth giving it a try. Ask an attorney because I am not one!
Also, if you have a good relationship with your current doctor, ask him or her to see if they can or if they are willing to (if they think it’s a good idea) to open up spaces..... They may have had a good reason to extract and there is no way anyone can tell without a full exam and diagnostic records....It’s always good to resolve things amicably. Once again your current treating doctor may have had all the great reasons for extraction and closing of the spaces although immediate results may not be so pleasing! Depending on how your relationship is with your current doctor, you should discuss your concerns first and trust opinion of most doctors as I would believe and hope majority of doctors have the patient’s best interest in mind no matter what!
It may not be a bad idea to close that little space you have left since at this point it does not make much of a difference and give yourself some time to really think if you want to open up all spaces again! You may be just fine with spaces closed after a while especially if you are in teen years and you will have a chance to at least get other’s opinion….Perhaps other doctors can give you their opinion even if they do not want to treat you. Good luck.

There is no way anyone can properly diagnose and treatment plan a patient online without an in office exam and full diagnostic records.
Hi.I'm 19 yrs old and I'm going to get braces soon. I Have crowding on the top & bottom of my teeth and there's 2 teeth in front that are vampire teeth. And a little over bite. How long do you think my teeth can get fixed? Since I'm adult does that mean my teeth will take longer to straighten? Can you please give me an estimate?
Dear NewGirl55,
Its very hard to give proper estimate of time and cost without full diagnostic photos, x-rays, evaluation. However, to give you a rough estimate, this would take 16-24 months. We can treat you with invisalign or braces though many doctors shy away from invisalign treatment for more complex cases. We have not yet rejected any orthodontic cases for invisalign. The cost of invisalign is not much more than braces at least in our office. We do braces as well. The success of invisalign depends on experience of your doctor and patient compliance. The rough estimate of cost would be something between $200 to $300 per month. Hope this helps. We would be happy to give you a complimentary evaluation and provide you with exact information.
I have 3 implants, the 2 upper cuspids and the 1st right upper bicuspid. I'm noticing that my 2 front tooth are shifting forward. Can I get a retainer to shift them back, or braces? Anything to correct this? I have gone thru an extreme ordeal over these implants for the past 3 years due to an extraction gone wrong so really appreciate any help to put an end to this.
Thank you for your question and I am sorry you endured this ordeal.... Definitely you can correct the alignenment of your teeth with braces as long as an orthodontist deems enough space is available. Keep in mind, the implants can't be moved with braces like natural teeth do. I hope i have answered your question and feel free to ask to clarify more.
All the best,
Edgard El Chaar, DDS.
