Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your concern.Reopening spaces where premolars were removed is sometimes possible, but it depends on several important factors.One of the biggest considerations is why those teeth were taken out in the first place, such as crowding or protrusion, because those original reasons can make reversing the treatment more complicated or even unsuitable.If the bite was corrected by removing teeth, trying to recreate those gaps may affect the balance of your bite and jaw.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com I have read your query and understand your concerns. When planning multiple dental procedures involving orthodontics or braces, the treatment sequence is crucial. In most cases, orthodontic treatment is completed before permanent prosthodontic work, such as crowns and implants, but after basic restorative procedures like fillings and root canal treatments. Based on the photo provided (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), the missing tooth appears to be a lateral incisor rather than a canine, with some spacing between the teeth and a shallow bite. In such situations, orthodontic treatment is usually recommended as the first step.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com It is completely understandable to feel frustrated when your teeth start shifting after all the effort you put into wearing braces. This can be especially upsetting when you are concerned that retainers alone may not correct the problem. Retainers are primarily designed to hold teeth in place rather than move them, so if one tooth has shifted out of alignment, it is natural to question whether a retainer will be effective. In some cases, orthodontists may use specialised retainers or make minor adjustments that can gently guide a tooth back into position. However, if the movement is more noticeable, additional treatment options may be required to properly address the issue.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. I am really sorry you are in so much pain. A severe toothache can feel overwhelming, and it often means something deeper is going on, such as an infection, decay, or a problem with the gums. Because the pain is severe and focused on one side, it is important not to ignore it.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. It is completely normal to feel nervous about needles, especially when you are young and facing dental treatment. For a filling, dentists usually use a local anaesthetic injection to numb the tooth, but alternatives can help you feel more comfortable. One common option is “gas and air” (also called nitrous oxide or laughing gas), which you breathe in through a small mask.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Understandably, you would like to have everything addressed before your hip surgery. Given that your second extraction was straightforward and is healing well, it is generally reasonable to proceed with the third extraction at this time, particularly since both your rheumatologist and anesthesiologist are comfortable with the plan. The main consideration is that surgical removal of an impacted tooth is more complex, and healing may take longer than with the recent simple extraction. Holding CellCept and using antibiotics as advised does help reduce the risk of infection.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Braces are an excellent option for you at your age because your teeth and jaw are still developing, which makes treatment more effective. Ceramic braces are a popular choice if you want something less noticeable, as they blend in with the colour of your teeth. To close the gaps between your teeth, orthodontists often use a power chain, which is a special elastic with interconnected elastic rings attached to the braces.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Bleeding gums and pain while biting are often caused by gum inflammation due to plaque buildup (gingivitis) or sometimes a more advanced gum infection (periodontitis). When plaque and tartar collect along the gum line, they irritate the gums and supporting tissues, leading to swelling, tenderness, and bleeding, especially during brushing or biting. Other possible causes include a cracked tooth, an abscess, recent dental work, aggressive brushing, vitamin deficiencies, or certain medications that affect gum health.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It sounds as though you may be experiencing concerns related to bite discrepancies, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, or underlying skeletal imbalance. It is worth noting that genuine facial asymmetry is best assessed from the frontal view rather than by comparing each side profile in isolation. Side views can sometimes exaggerate or distort differences, while a frontal analysis provides a clearer and more reliable picture of overall balance and proportion.
