Hello, i was wondering as your teeth move in braces do the old fillings in those teeth need to be replaced? My teeth have shifted and i can run my tongue along the back of the teeth that have fillings and i feel the fillings more and they are kind of rough.....anyone else have this problem?
I have one real filling on the back of a canine that I could never feel before cause the tooth was so messed up.. now that its straightened out I can feel it, but its getting less noticable, like its rubbing down now or something
Hi Tamsteve. I had a filling in one of my first premolars that was forming a crack and had to be replaced 18 months into braces. I don't know if it would have happened anyway. (I have a lot of old fillings and the others are fine - even one that my dentist said will need to be replaced after the braces are off.)
Had Damon 3 / Smart Clips for almost 2 years
Now in Hawley upper 10 hours/day, permanent lower retainers
I had one filling replaced because it chipped. I want to have another one replaced as soon as the braces are off. That tooth is either chipped or worn down or both. It doesn't really have the shape of a real molar right now. It looks like it has been sheered off.
