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’m 23 years old. Since I live in a county, I preferred to get a consultation this way. As you can see in my x-ray, my left lower teeth are more anterior than the upper teeth, and as a result, my lips are not straight while I talk. In addition, there are big gaps between my other teeth and I do not have two of my molars, but I have wisdom teeth. I want to know whether orthodontics can fix the problem with my left teeth or there is a need for jaw surgery? And if orthodontics can help, how long will it take? How much does it cost and how many months can the installments be broken down to?
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Your jaw is deviated to the left and you need fixed orthodontic treatment.
The cost of lingual orthodontics is several times more than the usual fixed orthodontics. It’s because the braces are made specific to each patient. The patient’s teeth mold is sent to France and the braces are made there. The approximate price is between 20 to 25 million Tomans, which is not cost-effective.
The elastic should be removed when you eat or brush your teeth. Put it back in its place with your hand.
The approximate cost of orthodontic varies, depending on the severity of the dental problem. It’s usually more than 6 million tomans. In general, I don’t recommend the invisible orthodontic treatment system, because the treatment takes longer, teeth move slower, and tooth extraction is more likely to happen.

Hi. I’m 12 years old and my teeth are severely overlapped, both lower and upper teeth. In your opinion, which orthodontic treatment should I have, fixed or removable? Thanks.
Dr. Hadi Darvishpour :
Greetings. If your teeth are just irregular and disorganized, fixed orthodontics is recommended, but if there are jaw problems, for example your jaw is behind or forward, first the jaw problem should be adjusted by removable orthodontics. Afterwards, fixed orthodontics is recommended for both jaws and also to straighten the teeth.
