I asked my dentist if he could make my canine look like an incisor which I know is a definite possibility but he said "oh it will be a lot of effort for me to do that" well... Yes but it's your job and this is my mouth which will look like this forever 😂 it seems like all the dentist's I have been seeing at the moment just care about whatevers fastest and easiest for them. I wish they cared about the patient and not just money.
Please do a video for substituting canines with first premolars! My canines never came down so now my ortho wants to make my first premolars my canines with braces .. I’m so scared
I have one lateral missing which caused an underbite/crossbite. I’m about to go through the process to get braces in order to make the space for the lateral in order to correct my bite. Do you recommend making room for one? Or pulling two teeth from the bottom to correct my bite and then getting veneers to correct the missing lateral?
Hi! Can you please answer this if you have time. First of all I am 17 year old girl. I have a tooth gap between my top central incisors (goes from 1mm to 2 mm at bottom). I also have a tooth gap between my central incisors and canine (1mm). I am also missing my lateral incisors but there is no gap showing that. My teeth are all straight and I would really like to get rid of those gaps. Do you think they will close once my wisdom teeht grow out. What's your opinion and what would you recommend me? Thanks! :)
With wisdom teeth generally do not have enough forward force (on the other teeth) to close spaces. The position and spaces between your teeth are in an "equilibrium" position and most likely will not shift without help though braces, invisalign etc. You need to also factor in growth in the jaws that may continue past 21 years old. Self correction of spaces and tooth position is rare. I hope this helps.
my orthodontist is suggesting that i get my canines moved in to replace my laterals since i’m so young (i’m 13) she said by the time i got implants there wouldn’t be any bone, it sounded like a good idea so i’m going along with the treatment they have planned, am i making the right decision?
Montana - orthodontists do this type of work all the time and assess these cases careful. I feel that if you are comfortable with their recommendation pls continue with treatment. Hope this helps!
I had the same issue when I was 13. I fell and broke my lateral incisor. I had a RCT, but it was unsuccessful, so my dentist decided to remove it before the orthodontic treatment. It seemed a good idea at that time. Now at 31, not so much. My Smile is narrow and it bothers me. Of course I can transform the canine into lateral incisor and the premolar to canine… but I am trying to find a good orthodontist to find out if I can move back the upper lateral teeth so I can make space for an implant.. If I can turn back time, I would opt for a Maryland bridge for the lateral incisor and in time a bone graft for an implant.. but that is just my personal opinion and experience. I hope you made the right decision for yourself and are happy with it. Good Luck!
It was just a porcelain veneer preparation however you need to reduce the bulk from the neck of the canine and reduce the width. So it's not as conservative as a minimal preparation porcelain due to the shape of canine
what caused her bone to not be formed after 2 years of pulling the canines back ??? i'm getting the same treatment and i'm afraid if this happens with me
Same thing happened to me 3yrs moving my canines I got my braces off couple days ago and I am not a good candidate for a implant so I’m going to go back and get braces put the canine back where they were and get veneers To shape the canine because they told me to get a bridge which is a terrible idea for me cause I am 21. Try to do the canine substitution instead. The fact it happened to me and this lady as well who says it won’t happen to u. Just want to warn u wish I was warned
@@islamicjustice9544 this makes me scared, i have opted for moving my canines already, after extraction. I thought this must be due to age but you're only 21 and i'm 23 btw. What makes the bone to not form? Why would bone grafts not work in your case ? would zygoma implants work ? I am very interested if you don't mind discussing further
I had used dental braces however after treatment I lost one of my incisors due to orthodontic problems(I guess the root has been melted). Then I found a surgeon who did me dental bridges. I have been using like 2,5 years in this period we had to change bridges because it displaced several times. Now I have troubles like my saliva getting an increase, lose the bite and also when I drinking cold water, rinsing my mouth and biting foods which are tough, I feel pain in my teeth. I hate this treatment I wish I didn’t do this but some doctors said that missing teeth cause some negative situations. Our plan was to gather the incisors and apply implants to laterals. Now I have a dental bridge on my six upper front teeth and there are 3 roots on them. I don’t know what to do what are your suggestions?
One of my lateral is turned 90° and on the other side the canine grow in the space of the lateral followed by a space( not enough to fit a tooth) then come the molar. I know it's pretty straight foward on what to do with the side with the 90° incisor but what should i do with the other???
Someone helpppp!!!Im getting canine substitution getting my laterals that are peg legs removed and then reshaping my canines the dentist said my canines are also small so it will have the best aesthetic result but everyone keeps saying that the results aren’t that good!!
This depends on how many transformation is required and more important what end result does the patient want. There are 3 options: 1. polishing and reshaping - very low cost. 2. Bonding with composite resin - $400-500 per tooth or 3. Porcelain veneers - $1800+ per tooth. The treatment options and this the cost is related to what needs to be achieved and end result the patient requests. I hope this helps
i’m getting braces soon and i’m missing both of my laterals i have two options so i just do the canine substitution or make the spaces and get implants
Yes you are correct - the options are dependant on many factors - you smile, bite, lip support, room for teeth, profile, etc. For example, if the smile looks narrow and there are some spaces, the option to move teeth and create a spacer implants is greater than the minimising the number of teeth and reshaping the canines to laterals. Each case is unique and you need to look at each case individually to get the best longterm result. Hope this helps. X
I'm going to be getting my braces soon because my teeth are pretty bad! 2 of my premolars are rotated 90 degrees 1 on each side and 1 of my canines are also rotated 90 degrees. My orthadontist said this has happened because i have 2 missing laterals and so has provided my other adult teeth to grow in wherever they want and had no guidance. i've consulted with my orthodontist and I am going to get the canine substitution to make my canines looks like laterals but there's so much space to close up first so that's the last thing that will happen. On my bottom row, I have another 2 adult missing molars and don't have any wisdom teeth so my baby molars that are there now will be removed and braces will have to close the gap. I really wish i just had normal teeth honestly i probably won't be done with treatment until i'm 20 and i'm 15 now coming up 16. :(((
i am going through an orthodontic treatiment and i am 37 yrs old i have canines which are pointed 2 up and 2 down can i reshape them or not so they look like normal tooth need answer asap
Yes, reshaping or polishing is possible. Discuss this with your dentist or orthodontist and have this completed during or after the braces are off. The canines are important "sliding" teeth for the bite and should be adjusted carefully not just for cosmetics but also for function.
Kunal - this depends on the situation and how the cosmetics look - and most importantly what your long-term goals is. If the midline has shifted to this side and this is an issue for you, extraction is not the best option. Pls seek some opinions on this and sorry I cannot be more definitive without seeing you and asking you some questions. X
I currently have braces right now and the orthodontist is doing a cuspid substitution which they took out one of my lateral incisors because the other one never came in. What should I do?
Lateral substitution is still okay if there is a discrepancy in the jaw size to the number of teeth or the size of the teeth. If there was crowding issues and insufficient space for the permanent teeth lateral substitution with the canines maybe good treatment however this may create some minor problems to cosmetic as noted in the video
So I have just gotten braces a month ago and I have two upper laterals missing. Do you recommend having my canines shaped or getting implants? I’m going to turn 18 in two months. I’m actually worried that if I shaped my canines I wouldn’t be satisfied with the end result.
I got braces about four months ago and I have two lateral incisors missing, and I won't go for the implants because they give you a lot of trouble instead I went for the canine substitution..
Hey, whats the update on your teeth?? I have a upper lateral incisor missing on one side.. and i'm getting braces to fix the gaps.. my dentist suggested getting my canine shaped into a lateral.
Can lateral teeth become front teeth ? Is it cheaper to have braces and have teeth moved and reshaped ? I can’t afford veneers/implants and I don’t want to have a retainer or bridge. Is it possible ? I would be ok with reshaping all my teeth if it’s possible
@@princeaaron25 I have to get my teeth pulled cause I have this weird reaction to numbing in my mouth that affects my breathing. It suck cause I really wanted to save my teeth .
I wonder how well it would work for having to get your top frontal incisors removed, lateral incisor becomes frontal incisor, canine becomes lateral incisor.
I’m about to do this procedure. I have two front dental implants. They are going to pull those implants, and move my both lateral incisors to replace the front
Hi Dr. I hv missing incisor on one side and a baby tooth on the other side, it's going to be extracted soon (I have braces on). The problem is, the tooth next to my baby tooth is first premolar followed by canine. My orthodontist suggested me to go for tooth implant or crowning to fill the gap. I don't want to opt for neither because it's out of my budget and Ive had spent so much on braces alone and had to undergo two minor surgeries. However, the first premolar tooth which is in the wrong position is causing slight discomfort for me to chew and it's going to be even more if the tooth were to be next to my front tooth after the extraction of baby tooth(if I don't resort for either crowning or implant). Do u have any suggestions? 😔
Hi David, thanks for the comment! Our patient had x6 porcelain veneers on her upper teeth combined with deep whitening on the remaining teeth. Glad you liked it ;-)
I have both my lateral teeth and they wanna remove one and make a canine substitution because my teeth are going into a angle or something like that and I’m scared they won’t look normal
If you go to a cosmetically focused dentist you will be just fine! Ask to see similar cases and before and after's, do your research! The team at ADAP would certainly be able to help, are you based in Australia? :-)
my first dentist suggested me to move the canine to replace the lateral, but it turns out that the arch of my teeth becomes narrow and then some tmj problems then i changed dentist, and then suggested me to leave spaces for the 2 missing lateral, to expand the arch,
Hi doc, Im 27 yo, on my first dentist, they’ve remove my third molar, because they’ve suspected it was infected, i think it also contributes on my bite changes that, may or may not be the big factor on my tmj problem, i’ve been using splint for 4 years,my first dentist, also decided to remove my braces even my bite was not corrected at all. She just cement my front incisor and canine teeth to close the gap between them and made it as if it was real teeth, and made me use splint, she also suggested me some procedure like deprogrammed for bite correction, it was very exhausting.. and most of the time,, expensive, then I decided to change my dentist.. Right now im on my 2nd dentist and her dental plan is to expand my arch, correct my posterior crossbite and replace the missing 2 lateral incisor with dental implant. do you think I made the right decision?
@@mamayeh7258 It's very hard to give you advise without all your information - radiographs, photos, and (most importantly) listening to what your goals are for treatment, etc. If you were not 100% comfortable with an opinion or treatment then yes you have made the right decision. Every dentist and specialist will give a different opinion and treatment plan depending on their education and training - dental treatment plans are very subjective and its important for you to have a great relationship with your practitioner, and have all your questions answered.
