Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concerns. Once the braces are removed, you have to wear the retainers for at least eight months after the orthodontic treatment. You have to wear them literally all the time. Otherwise, there are high chances of relapse.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. An X-ray would be required. Mostly, dental abscess cases have to go for a treatment known as an apicoectomy, which involves draining the abscess by making a passage through the bone. Some abscesses are recurrent, which causes necrosis of bone at the root level. Such conditions make root canal treatment unfavorable.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Since the symptoms you have mentioned are strongly suggestive of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), you will need advice from an oral surgeon and a neurologist. Avoid chewing anything hard on the right side in the meantime. A popping sound heard is the most common symptom of a problem with the joint. The orthopantomography (OPG) you have sent is inconclusive.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. As per the details given by you, it can be an antibioma (a localized, tough-walled abscess that can form when antibiotics are used inappropriately or for long periods of time), an infection extending to the pulp of the tooth that gives rise to an enlarged lymph node, a salivary gland stone, or a tumor. An X-ray alone will not help in diagnosis. I would recommend a biopsy and a pathological investigation.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Some patients develop allergic reactions to the resins used in temporary crowns. But, since you already had one earlier, allergy can be ruled out.

The signs can be ulcers or inflammation in the inner part of the cheeks or on the sides of the tongue, where the crown is in contact with.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for sending the photographs (the attachment was removed to protect the patient's identity). You have a fissured tongue. It is quite harmless. This is usually hereditary but can occur in people as age progresses.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have to visit your orthodontist first. The filling has to be replaced soon and it should not be delayed. It might be possible for the orthodontist himself to fill the cavity without removing the braces. If not, then he can remove them and put a new arch wire.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The tooth must have been ankylosed, which means fused to the bone. Also, it must have been close to an artery, and the laceration of which caused the hemorrhage. But, there is nothing to worry about. Even though this is uncommon, the wound will heal.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is quite normal. Unless you have pain and irritation in the area. This is called linea alba. In case you get itching and pain, then please consult your dentist for a physical evaluation.
