I would suggest you contact the orthodontist’s office right away and discuss this with him/her. Schedule a follow-up visit if this has not already been done.

What to Do with Pain in Neck, Dizziness, and Click Sounds in Jaw with Braces On?

Clicking and Popping Sounds in Jaw are from TMJ
Jul 24, 2013

The symptoms you describe are commonly associated when an improper bite is affecting the temporomandibular jaw joint (TMJ) and the related facial muscles. An orthodontist who understands occlusion and TMJ will check for these symptoms throughout treatment. As the teeth shift, so does the occlusion – or how the teeth come together when you bite down. Even a very slight change may trigger some of these symptoms. Hopefully by the time your ortho treatment is complete,…

Temporary Filling of Root Canal Came Out. in Pain What to Do?

Broken Root Canal Tooth Requires ASAP Attention
Jun 27, 2013

Since the tooth has broken off at the gumline, you may be at risk of losing the tooth altogether because there may not be enough tooth surface left to build a crown on top of. With pain and swelling, you should get to a dentist sooner rather than later. You have an open access for bacteria to enter your blood stream, and this can be quite dangerous. Even if money is an issue, this is something that cannot be ignored. Consequences could be severe.

What is the Best Treatment for Excessive Gums or Gummy Smile?

Crown lengthening and/or Botox would appear to be your best solutions. If the Botox did not give you a noticeable result, it may be because not enough was used. A two-week follow-up is usually recommended to evaluate the effects and sometimes add a little more if indicated. I’ve had some really nice results using my laser to raise the gumline, but it’s imperative the dentist know how much is the right amount to raise. There’s little to no bleeding with the laser, and…

What Can I Do About my Teeth?

First of all, your insurance may be irrelevant because most carriers do not include coverage for a cosmetic procedure. Having said that, your teeth appear to be healthy, and it’s possible that some minor reshaping of the teeth to allow them to freely move into better alignment may help. It’s also possible that some fairly simple orthodontics, or minor tooth movement, could move them back into line. Veneers could certainly work but I’m not sure the cost would be…

Absolutely. Veneers can be used to accomplish a number of different improvements to a smile. Your idea of collecting photos that depict “how I want my teeth” ,as you say, is very helpful. Find a dentist with lots of experience with cosmetic smile makeovers and schedule a consult visit to share your expectations, show pictures and discuss if this is realistic for YOU. An experienced dentist should be able to guide you through options after listening to your goals and…

It would border on irresponsible to give a detailed answer based on this photo. If you could post a closer photo of your smile with better focus, I would feel more comfortable responding to the specifics of your question. I can say, however, that Botox would NOT be indicated for your application. In fact, it would be used to help resolve a “gummy” smile – the opposite of your situation. Another possible consideration would be crown lengthening and/or veneers that…
