I had a consultation about getting braces. The orthodontist mentioned I have short roots on my front teeth. He encouraged to get braces asap. I dont know if I should get them. I know for sure on bottom but Im not sure about the top.
I had bicuspid extractions over 10 years ago.I had overcrowding in my top jaw and my bicuspids never came in the lower jaw, so my top bicuspids were removed. I had braces for over 5 years for this process but my teeth were so tilted in I had to get more orthodontic work (Invisalign for 2 years). I am 25 and have extreme root resorption, a narrow smile, and a dished in profile. No ortho will reverse the extractions bc of my root resorption and I dont know what to do. What are my options?
what is the best possible way i can do to solve this problem? Is it really impossible to do braces cuz of the extrem root? I want to fix the upper front two teeth, make the middle line straight nd fix the snaggle teeth. Or if my tooth root is so short, is it better to just do implant nd do braces? I'm 21yrs old.
I went to see if I could get braces recently on my top teeth (Invisalign or stb social 6 lingual braces) and was advised against it as I have short roots. I had braces in my teens and the dentist scared me quite a bit talking about the shortness of my roots. Should I be concerned? And can I definitely not have further orthodontic treatment?
I have experienced shifting after braces even with wearing my hawley retainers daily for 3 years. Adjustments were made on retainers and now I have an open bite. My retainers don't fit well and my teeth are loose. My teeth shifted to positions that rub and create soreness like my canines being right on top on one another; it is very uncomfortable. Can bad retainers cause more damage to my short roots? Is Invisalign a viable option or an unnecessary risk?
I'm interested in getting braces again to fix the slant/cant in my top front teeth and to bring the top teeth down a bit so there's more overlap between my top and bottom teeth. However, the root of my top left lateral incisor is damaged and short from when it was impacted by my canine during childhood. I know large movements could cause root resorption and cause it to fall out, but would simply fixing a slight cant and bringing the teeth down a bit be okay?
I had braces when I was 14 for 1 1/2 didn't finish my treatment . I want to get them again but one ortho told me I have some short roots . What would be my best option or both are the same? I have a over bite and my lateral incisor are lower then the central incisor
