OK, thats lucky. Most of my root canal teeth seem to be really weak. Two of them broke and had to be crowned already. And the others dont seem to be much better off according to my dentist. But I'll see what the orthos say. Get the feeling that my general dentist is kinda against braces anyway

Thanks for your advice. I have my first ortho appointment tommorow and another one next week. Will keep you updated! @newbite: no, on this pic my jaw isn't completely closed. I just did it like this so you can see my bottom teeth better. I fear I cant put the blame for my bad teeth condition on my b...

Hi kimmie, congratulations to your decision of getting braces. Did your finance go through already? I think we have a quite similar story. I also have plenty of filling, root canals and crowns.

Hey there, your stories sound very similiar to mine. I would really like to start an orthodontic treatment soon, but my dentist is rather sceptical about it because of the condition of my teeth. I have a ton of fillings, 2 crowns and 8 or 9 root canals. My dentist says my teeth are probably to weak ...

Hi jeswane,
thanks for your message. Do you also have such a poor condition of your teeth? Do the fillings cause any trouble during your orthodontic treatment?
Cheers,
Tania

Hi there, thanks for your comments. My dentist visit was quite awful. He wanted me to get get 2 nasty cavities filled and 1 old filling replaced by a crown before even raising the topic of braces. So after a few painful drilling sessions, here I am now. He told me he is not an expert on orthodontics...

Hi everybody, I found this website a few months ago and read through lots of your posts. I have always wanted to do sth about my crooked teeth, but reading all your success stories made this wish grow stronger and stronger. I have my checkup appointment with my dentist on Monday and will ask him abo...
