The braces that are applied on my teeth are loose and fall off all the time. I return to my doctor and he places them back, but they fall off again. What is the solution?
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
The adhesion strength of braces weakens when they fall off for the first time. Though, you should share the problem with your own doctor.
Yes, braces should be applied on all your teeth, and the treatment will take between 15 to 24 months.
Yes, there isn’t any problem with doing sports while in treatment. Just the sports, in which there is a chance of getting hurt in the face, should be avoided as much as possible or a mouth protector should be used. If the patient is using removable braces, he should take out the orthodontic appliance before sports.
Hi. The cost of lingual orthodontics is approximately between 20 and 25 million tomans.
Greetings.
No. Functional orthodontics is effective at an earlier age. This type of treatment is usually done at the age of 11 to 14 in boys, and 10 to 13 in girls.
Although there is no age limitation for orthodontics treatment most orthodontists are believed that the best time for having orthodontic treatment is when all baby teeth are lost and permanent teeth start coming in (around age 7).
  There are five most common braces including a metal brace, ceramic braces, lingual braces, self-ligating brace, and Invisalign. But your doctor can diagnose which type is right for you after the clinical checkup.

I am 21-year-old and I had brace for 3 years. Recently I start smoking just for 3 to 4 times per month. Does smoking affect orthodontic treatments?
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Generally, smoking is harmful for dental health and during orthodontic treatment, you should observe oral hygiene very well. But it is better consult with your special orthodontist and follow his/her recommendations.
No, removable functional orthodontic just improve jaw problems before maturation but after maturation you need to have brace and jaw surgery together.

I’m 25 and I’m considering orthodontics for my both jaws. I have already sent you two images. I would appreciate your advice. How much does fixed orthodontics cost? How long will it take for me? As I understand, I also have deep bite. Will it be treated with orthodontics or a jaw surgery is needed? My upper jaw is slightly ahead of where it should be. I have a few decayed teeth too. Do I need to repair them before orthodontics?
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Your treatment takes between one to one and a half years. You don’t need jaw surgery and orthodontics is sufficient. The decayed teeth should be repaired prior to orthodontics. Thanks for your contact.
