I’ve done orthodontics on my upper jaw teeth last august. Just tooth no.1 was a little inside. It’s almost fixed, but the same tooth didn’t align from the left side and it’s a bit inside. Since tooth no.2 is placed on top of it, my orthodontist told me that there isn’t any space left and nothing more can be done. He also mentioned that the problem would be fixed with milling at the end of treatment. Can milling provide a space for movement? Is this approach correct and effective? I would appreciate your help.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
It’s possible to improve the teeth placement. Ask your own orthodontist to easily fix it for you.

Since I’ve started the orthodontic treatment, my gums have recessed severely, especially in my lower teeth and canines. It’s been a week since my braces were removed after the treatment was completed, but I still have severe gum recession. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
In order to get a more clear picture of your problem, you need an in-person appointment with a gum specialist.

Thanks for your commendable commitment and response. What kind of images should I send you for a more thorough consultation? And is it possible for a patient who is already in treatment with another doctor to visit a new orthodontist? Because my own doctor is on trip right now and I feel my teeth are being severely squished together and have no place to move. I again appreciate your kindness.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Please send x-rays of your mouth’s interior from different angles. Regretfully, we don’t accept consultation during an ongoing orthodontic treatment.

I’m 32 years old. It’s been nearly 3 years since I’ve started orthodontics. My upper jaw has become protruded and because of it my treatment has taken so long. But I have no idea why my jaw has moved forward! And I fear removing the braces. Please help me. Thanks.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Usually, the teeth move forward with fixed orthodontic treatment, and the orthodontist has to extract tooth to pull them back.

I’m 27 years old. I had orthodontics twice and it recurred again both times. The first time, I had jaw abnormality and also my teeth on both jaws were crooked. I had removable orthodontics for two years and my jaw’s problem was resolved. But my straight teeth again became crooked. Is there a solution for my problem? Do I need to take an OPG x-ray? I appreciate your help.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
In general, there is a 5 to 10 percent chance of recurrence in orthodontic treatments done by any orthodontist. However, it can be prevented to some extent, which requires a visit with your doctor every 4 months, in order to decrease the chance of recurrence to minimum.

I had gaps between my teeth, so I had orthodontics and now it has been finished. My doctor has installed fixed braces at the back of my teeth and gave me removable retainers for both of my jaws. Because my retainer did not fit and I couldn’t speak properly, I had to have the retainer made again, and now I don’t have a retainer. Is it possible for the gaps between my teeth to recur because of not having the retainer or because of the fixed braces at the back of my teeth?
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Please trust your orthodontist and visit your doctor every 3 to 4 months for follow-ups.
