Avatar m tn I started my orthodontics treatment three weeks ago with my #10 missing. my original mid line (position of #9 and #8) is good. about one week ago I found out my #9 and #8 moving towards #10 space and the mid line is off. I am very worried. how could mid line to its optimal position garantteed? when orthodontics put braces /arch wire on, how he adjust it to bring patient's #8 #9 to their optimal position? I tried to talk with my orthodontist, but he seems don't think mid line is off...
746512 tn?1388807580 Wow, somedays I want to run out on the streets and scream--IT'S NOT YOUR BITE THAT CAUSES TMJ PROBLEMS, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND. My profession is unfortunately stuck in the dark ages on this one. I have literally successfully treated hundreds of patients that had previous orthodontics and jaw surgery (not the TMjoint) to 'solve' their TMJ issues (and it didn't). I don't walk on water--can barely swim, but I've learned to improve on my past failures.

Avatar n tn is certainly NOT along time in the field of orthodontics. moving teeth too quickly can cause any/all of a myriad of problems, including root resorbtion, bony defects, pain, teeth fracture, the need for root canal treatment etc. thus, the case should not be rushed. You should discuss your case with your orthodontist. The length of time required for your case should have been one of the many things that were discussed before it was started.
Avatar m tn ve had this permanent onlay for 3 years in a molar, and it just popped out when I was flossing. I have good dental health, but had orthodontics on and off in the mean time [there was a metal ring around that molar]. Could this have weakened the onlay? How should I approach my dentist? I am mad that their work didn't last, and wonder if their repair will. I'm also wondering if they give a price break on the repair vs. going to a new dentist for the repair.
Avatar m tn The primary problem with a diastema (space between the teeth) is cosmetic, but yes, there can be speech issues as well. As for having a frenectomy after orthodontics, that is only done because it wasn't done when the child was young. You're ahead of the game doing it this way. They did the right thing and so did you. This was smart and I applaud the doctor and you for making the right choice.
Avatar m tn Then there is the mechanical part of communicating our language and that is speech. Problems with speech can include just trying to get the words out, pronouncing the words, the tonal quality of our speech, using emphasis and inflection. Problems with speech can be from weakness or spasticity of the muscles of our mouths, throats and vocal cords. Or it can be with the way our brain tries to direct the speech.
9771188 tn?1405907831 Has anyone had problems communicating? I have problems with finding the right word to use. Sometimes I use I will get so frustrated. My family and friends say that I repeat myself a lot. I do know this, especially when I am excited, happy or upset. I completely lose my train of thought. I used to be able to speak in public, and train people. This has been difficult for me. Am I alone? I have battled through much worse demons than this, but I don't want to give up now.
Avatar m tn And could the changes in my eyes be to do with an maxillofacial changes?
Avatar f tn They will provide dental implants, invisalign, orthodontics treatments and many more.
Avatar f tn For people with severe cases like bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusion etc. there are many options regarding treatments are available. But orthodontics surgery is also a good option for them. Before considering surgery, the patient should be known regarding the after effects and complications that can occur. An orthodontist will help them about the concept.

Things have changed this time for the worse the test showed that food is getting stuck in my esophagus and wont move even after large quantities of fluid. I only eat 1 meal a day because after the 1st few bites and havibg it stuck there I lose my appetite. I go to speech nxt week and see what they can do for me.
Avatar m tn t breathe all the time even though the spirometer tests were normal and I was scared about it. Have you seen a speech therapist? It made a world of a difference for me. What happened is, and I know this sounds crazy, but your body has probably forgotten how to breathe. Since anxiety makes people have bad breathing patterns, even when you're not anxious, you can feel out of breath. I laughed when I was told to go to a speech therapist but I was oh so wrong.
Avatar f tn My 4 year old granddaughter has obvious speech problems. It is very hard to understand her. Her speech patterns have also changed. She used to call her mother "Mama-ee" and now she calls her "Mahee". She cannot pronounce her own name, Meaghan. I want my daughter to get her a hearing test and she says she does not think she has a hearing problem.
Avatar f tn It was discovered incidentally a little over a year ago that I had four teeth with external root reabsorption. I have never had an injury or orthodontics and I have very healthy teeth with no dental work. I went back after having four implants and during routine follow-up they found that another tooth was affected. Another implant was placed and when I went back to get my stitches out they found two more teeth, I am up to 8 teeth now with no known cause.
Avatar f tn A simple night guard may not be all that is needed but to progressively open the posterior bite to allow room for your discs to heal. Then you will possibly need orthodontics to allow the teeth to be placed in harmony with one another. If your dentist is confident in treating this disorder let him know how you are feeling and if not please see a TMJ specialist who can. These are the types of cases I treat everyday. Good luck and God bless.

Avatar m tn There are three parts of speech--- articulation (making the sounds) is one we all think of with speech. but there is also receptive speech (the ability to take in and organize what is said to you so that you can understand it) and expresssive (the ability to formulate the thoughts you want to express, to organize those thoughts into words to speak). Motor planning has a huge impact on these speech componants.
Avatar m tn t say much. Not communicating very much has fed my speech problems and really hurt my social skills and my self-esteem, so I've decided to finally try to do something about it so I can feel comfortable making conversation with people. After listening to recordings of my speech and watching myself speak on video and in a mirror, I definitely noticed that I don't speak with very good articulation.
1442701 tn?1286383987 It is harder walking at the end of each day. Today wasn't a good one. The buzzing sensation started when walking this morning & I had to ask someone else to take workers around to show service locations! I was so embarrassed & then one lady had the nerve to ask me if I would qualify for disability! Sheeps wool!!! I was so aggravated! My first MRI showed lesions in the gray matter in 2005. The person reading it said it indicated MS to them. Went to neuro & he said migraines.
