Dr. Randy Feldman answered:

My braces have pulled out my middle bottom tooth higher than the one next to it. I'm able to bite and it move back down, is this normal? In brief: Short term sometimes

during Ortho treatment this can occasionally occur due to bracket placement or a broken bracket.

It is easily resolvable-just call your Orthodontic practice to remedy

Dr. Randy Feldman answered:

Why do so many orthodontist say you can't reverse tooth extractions when there's a Dr in California by the name of Dr Hang who seems to do it well? In brief: Yes you can!

You cannot put the actual tooth/teeth back in, HOWEVER, you can recreate the space Orthodontically and resolve any other bites issues and then follow up with one of 3 options: 1) obturate permanently-bridge or implant 2) obturate temporarily-partial denture 3) nothing and maintain space with retainer ...See more

Dr. Randy Feldman answered:

I wore permanent retainers few days back, now I have a gap between my front two teeth. Will the gap go or should I consult my dentist? In brief: See Orthodontist

If your bite is deep or other issues see your Orthodontist.

If the gap is not too big, much more expedient to have your Dentist bond the space closed.

Can you tell me what to do if i got my braces a couple hours ago and they hurt really bad! what is the reason they hurt? In brief: It is normal

They usually do hurt a little not a lot! and it is usually better the next am! take some tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil or whatever pain reliever is appropriate for you or child and see if better in the am-should be all better or way improved! if not, call your orthodontist! after 33 years in ortho practice I have never written for a narcotic for pain and it just is not needed! ...See more

Dr. Randy Feldman answered:

Removal of enlarged tonsils, 20 lb wt loss cured severe osa. Debating orthodontic braces but need teeth extracted. Can teeth removals reintroduce osa? In brief: Usually not

The only way the could even be possible is if upper teeth were extracted and excessivley retracted causing the mandible to be push posteriorly.

Fairly hypothetical, possible, but highly unlikely. Just let ur ortho know about the osa so he/she is cognizant during treatment! best wishes! ...See more
