I have an open bite i.e there is a gap between the top and bottom row of my teeth Additionally, I have a tooth that is "out of line" and is noticeable whenever I smile. I am more concerned about having this tooth "fall into line" than I am about closing my open bite ;-) I had a free consultation with a dentist who advised me that braces could correct my dental issues. I have already done a panoramix x-ray. The next step is to schedule an appointment to have pictures taken.

Braces would defiantly sort your problem I had gaps and now they're all gone apart from one due to the shape they said my tooth won't move no more :(

Thanx for the encouragement. I should officially get them in the next few days.

If you want to correct an open-bite, i would only suggest Invisalign for this procedure. You will get a much quicker and better result than with fixed.

Grain of salt - Dfitt may be an Invisalign Troller...they commented on my story too about invisalign, even after I explicitly said I wasn't a candidate! Also, I would bet there is no orthodontist who would ever say that Invisalign could give better results than fixed braces. Comparable maybe for a simple case, but the orthodontist has no control over the movement aside from the initial treatment plan.

PHOTOGRAPHS, PROFILE and MOLD of my teeth done today
Went to see my dentist today to take photos. Also did a molding of my upper and lower rows of teeth. I will add the photos as soon as I get them. Mentally preparing myself to be a "wire mouth" for 1.5-2 years ;-)

I have had braces since January this year and I am 45 years old. I was hoping to get them off just before Christmas but unfortunately it won't be until early February. It is amazing how quick the time goes!!! Good luck with them!!!!
