Lower braces causing spaces in upper teeth? I am in my 40's. I just got metal braces on my bottom teeth just to straighten them. My top teeth and bite were fine. After just 3 weeks my bite is bad and I have a space on my top teeth. I assume my bite will be put back to normal in the next year, but I am not sure why I am getting a space on my top. Should I have gotten braces on my top too? I didn't think they could move if I didn't have braces on them. I am very concerned about my top teeth. I am now wearing a nite guard. ...Visitor from NJ (answer)
Braces or retainer? I'm 33 years old female and have gaps between 4 of my upper front teeth. About 8 years ago, I enquired about braces and was told that my facial profile/structure does not allow for braces. I did not understand that but on the dentist's recommendation, I've had the gaps bonded. However, I'm thinking of having the gaps closed by either braces or retainer. I'd like to know which option would be better? Is braces safe at my age? Will there be any maintanance required in long term? Are there any potential problems possible as a result of this work? My dentist has informed me that I have healthy teeth and have no major issues. ...Visitor from MI (answer)
Teeth pulled for braces! I am a 26 year old female who had braces during middle school. My orthodontist pulled 4 teeth (2 on top, 2 on bottom) because of overcrowding. However, my smile has never been the same since and I do not like it. It is not symmetrical and not as wide as it used to be. I never had large teeth, in fact very small ones, so I have no idea why I had teeth pulled. Is there anything I can do to fix this and try to get a "normal" smile again? ...Visitor from PA (answer)

17 years of braces: I'm dating a guy who is 32 and has had his braces on since he was 15. He said he never got around to getting them off. What kind of damage can leaving braces on for this long do?
