hi everyone
i am wondering if anyone has had extractions of teeth in the front where it is very visable and had linguals, i want to get temporary teeth to go there until the others move properly but how do you put a temp tooth in when the braces are at the back, how does the tooth stay there????????
so confused...
yes i have 2 baby teeth at the front and the adult teeth are behind them, one is still in my gum and needs to be brought out of hiding somehow and the other one is behind the baby almost like there is 2 rows of teeth back there only one is a baby...
i have a friend who has had the temp teeth joined onto her braces and they changed size over the process of her teeth moving but she had regular braces so it could be different.
where do i go to talk to this woman you mentioned??
Wooooops sorry of course he is a guy, yes i meant Dr. Strassner.
yeah i didnt know they did that either until Louise thats my friend who had them told me about it. she had standard braces to move her teeth backwards so she could fit in 2 implants, she just didnt like those teeth i guess.
i originally wanted implants but i was told by my dentist it was a really bad idea and the final result in my case wouldnt be as good as braces. i cried for a while when i heard that but now i am trying to get my spirits up again and focus on linguals..... if i can bear it..........
Yes, the space where teeth were extracted can be temporarily filled in when using lingual braces. They are decreased in size as the space is closed. Dr. Strassner
i cant help but cry about it all, i know i shouldnt be so dramatic but i am also finding it really hard to find a ortho who even does Lingual over here in Perth Australia. where do you guys live, anyone in australia who can recommend someone who actually does this
what do you mean reachable? he works near where i work if thats what you mean.
i just cant find anyone in Perth who does it. this is very stressfull...
sorry i totally didnt see what you meant, i just looked at the ibrace site and found that same person, i will call him as soon as i get the chance, yes Midland is definately reachable, its not the nicest of areas though so i hope he is good..
thanks
yeah i will, i have waited 27 years to get the courage to do this i dont think i could deal with mistakes, i am only barley forcing myself as it is.
yes its at least a lead, and i guess you never know they could turn out to be what i am looking for..
Thewires on lilnguals work exactly as they do on the outside. The only difference is that they are on the side. Sometimes it is necessary to add a few minor things on the outside of the back teeth because linguals are a little more limiting than regular braces. Dr. Strassner.
Hi... I got Linguals braces and i am getting an extraction done at 9 months into my treatment.. (which is soon ) i still got a baby tooth but no adult tooth has come and nothing is going to come lol i got no bones there or something like that.. anyway its near the back so not that noticeable and wen i get it extracted im getting something that spreads my teeth to close the gap.. 4got the name... so yer, thats my situation....
Oh yeh.. they didnt bracket the baby tooth because it's coming out...
In ur case i would imagine them to take the baby tooth out before they install ur braces in.. as u have an adult tooth there, it will be easier to work with...
