I finished my Orthodontist treatment about 2 years ago, but in the last year I had to change 2 crowns at different times, and I didnt wear my retainers for a year, now that Im done I would like to wear them again. I noticed that my front teeth moved a little bit. Can I wear them until they fix? Or, do I need a new treatment?
Permanent crown on tooth18 on 12/21, no root canal, decay under existing crown, deep cavity. Impression/new retainer made at Ortho 12/22. Crown came off on 12/28, extremely sensitive & re-cemented 12/29. Fine until a week ago. No sensitivity or pain when chewing but noticed jaw pain (subtle) and throbbing (crown) especially when wearing retainer (p.m.). New retainer has always felt like it fits so why now?Xray yesterday showed no sign of infection, also no sensitivity or pain when tapped on.
I will get a retainer. I love how my teeth are now, except my lateral incisors are shorter than I would like, I've wanted them lengthened for a long time. However If i have a retainer the shape of my current teeth, how will it fit on them if i get the two teeth lengthened? Also, how would I go about getting them lengthened? I don't know if I should try a crown, veneers, or what? Please help me.
I just got a crown placed on tooth 26. I had my braces removed in November, and have since been wearing a retainer full time. The dental office cut the last four teeth on that sided my retainer because with the crown it no longer fits. They cannot make me a new one until ten days from now. Do you think that is going to affect the alignment of my teeth since I just had braces removed not too long ago?
I had a root canal done on one of my front teeth so now I have a porcelain crown on it after the treatment. Now that I have a crown which is slightly more outward than my actual tooth that was shaved off, my retainer (the silver metal part) pushes onto it and I feel just a little pressure (sometimes pain in the morning). Is this okay? Can a porcelain crown move in accordance to my retainer? Does this loosen the cement? I didn't think of this situation before, however it's coming up now.
I just had a crown on a upper molar installed. In the adjustment, the dentist shaved several other teeth but I can see that my teeth are not aligned and shifted very slightly side way. I spend a lot of money to realign my crooked teeth and wear a retainer at night. This retainer is not fitting anymore. Is it normal to have so many different t tooth shaved? Can I readjust the new crown so I avoid going to the orthodontist and print a new retainer costing me even more to fix this tooth?
This is a follow up to a question of mine regarding my tooth that has over-erupted due to my retainer not covering my back teeth. If I get the tooth crowned to make it 'shorter', can a crowned tooth still over-erupt? If so, will I need a new retainer which covers all of my teeth? Will a crown even be the answer to my problem? This tooth is keeping all other teeth apart.
