From your little experience Sir, what's is the estimated amount for two upper teeth implant

Dentalgist:
Whether young or old, there is never a late time to discuss with your dentist on the need for Braces. Scattered or crooked teeth have profound effects on individuals’ self-esteem, confidence, relationships. The negative impacts are countless. The good news is that not ‘well-arranged’ set of teeth can be arranged, thanks to the Orthodontists, dentists specialized in the arrangement of teeth.

In this write-up, we have highlighted 6 reasons why you may need Braces:

1. Crossbites
Crossbites occur when the jaw deviates to one side with an improper fit of the upper and lower teeth from left to right or front to back.

Crossbites can lead to worn and chipped teeth, jaw pain and asymmetric growth of the jaws. Left untreated, the crossbite will require more extensive treatment later in life and significant jaw surgery in the most-severe cases.




2. Underbites
When the lower jaw sits forward of the upper jaw.

Do your lower teeth overlap your top front teeth when you smile? If so, you may have an underbite a dentist can correct. If left untreated, an underbite can increase your risk of injury while eating or talking.

When the lower jaw sits forward of the upper jaw.

3. Open bites

When the front teeth don’t touch.

Smile in front of the mirror. Is there a noticeable gap between your upper and lower teeth? If so, you may have an openbite. Patients with openbites often have difficulty eating or speaking. They may also have embarrassing habits, such as tongue thrusting. If you have an openbite, we can correct your smile with teeth braces.

4. Deep bites
A deep overbite or deep bite occurs when the lower front teeth bite too close or into the gum tissue behind the upper front teeth in the roof of the mouth. … A deep bite can damage the health and function of your jaw and may cause damage to your teeth and gums.

5. Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth can make it difficult to brush and floss. Fortunately, your dentist orthodontist can get you started on the right orthodontic treatment for your smile


6. Spaces Between Teeth
Closing the gaps in your smile is more than just a cosmetic concern, it’ll also help protect your oral health. If your teeth are widely spaced apart, food particles can get stuck along your gums to cause bad breath, gum disease, and other issues.

Plaque and tartar love to hide in between teeth, especially if they’re irregularly spaced.

It's 250k.

okikiosibodu:

Hi... Can you kindly inform me on how long braces have to stay on the teeth to correct a "scattered" dentition?

Biglittlelois:



It is 2 years give or take, for a completely scattered dentition, I don't know how long it will take to keep the braces but it's an all round braces, you have to go for realignment every six weeks cos they have to always position the teeth correctly, and you'd be told what to eat and not to eat, it's a long process but it is worth it, hope this helps.

okikiosibodu:

Yes it does.. I have a "wonderful" lower dentition visible only at close range... I am getting scared for the price and duration ooooooo

EmekaMD:
Ask me about braces.
Im wearing mine presently

Tenzilla:
Pretty useful post, I always wanted to visit a dentist, but I am afraid of it, even I am a 30 years old grown man with 2 kids at home. Yeah, since I was a child I've hated visiting the dentist because every time I visited him, it was painful. Happily today I found out about a new dental clinic on https://thehealthysmile.net/. They have a pretty cool service, with the newest machines available on the market, and with the best dentists you can find in our town. Furthermore, their prices are affordable, and you can get even a discount there. Take your chances and go there because you won't be disappointed.

Biglittlelois:



Nope, it's 250k, I'm about to fix one, I'd advise anyone to go to a teaching hospital, cos it's very expensive in a private hospital or dental clinic, more like 350k and above there.

dehyor:




Please have you gotten it, what was your experience getting it at luth and how much do you think it would cost now

Biglittlelois:



Yes I have, it was a painful experience, felt numbness and pains afterwards in my mouth for like a week, cost was 250k...

dehyor:



Wow, sorry about that. Would you advise getting at public hospital over private

Biglittlelois:



Public hospital cos it's cheaper there.

Winnerly:


Hi. I know this is an old post but did the braces work please?

I visited a dental clinic in ikoyi and they said it’s between 1M to 3M

Biglittlelois:



Hello it worked, I'm still using it, I did mine in Luth for 250k plus other expenses, it's too expensive in private clinics so I'd advice you do it at government hospitals.

cucumbar:
That thing looks irritating to me sha. Wrong dentition can be corrected in some other ways.

Imbecilicsamuel:


Hello.
Did the braces work for you?

EmekaMD:
oh yeah.

I'm still on retainers now

21sailor:

Are retainers meant to be worn for life?

EmekaMD:
no. For as long as your teeth have stopped moving.
Braces shift your teeth into the perfect positions but they could still move when you remove the braces.
So you get retainers to keep them in that position until they are fully formed and won't move again.

I'm not sure of a perfect timeline for retainers.
But between 1 to 3 years I guess.

Okay thanks for the reply.
Another one, so if I'm going every six weeks for realignment will I pay them each visit?

Retainers are not comfortable and you can remove them, brush and them place them back yourself. Unlike braces

EmekaMD:
depends on ur payment arrangement with your dentist.
Full payment usually covers for all the alignments and whatnot. But you can also agree to pay on installments. So does payments may be made during those subsequent visits for realignment

EmekaMD:
oh yeah.

capricornlady:
How much for retainers? Are retainers compulsory? Do you feel any pain or discomfort when you took off your braces? Can the teeth move again? like going back to how they were?
