 |
|
Hi,
I'm recovering from throat cancer and am having trouble with my front teeth. This is where the radiation was shot every day for 6 weeks. Anywho...the very front teeth on both top and bottom are now a little loose and the rest of my bite has been changed.
Does anyone know of a Dentist or Specialist to make mouth supports to help move pressure off the very front on to stable other teeth. The Stanford Specialist highly advised against implants or removing for dentures as the bone supporting the teeth is very week.
My dentist made some thinner TMJ style inserts for me which cut down on the blood from my new snaggleteeth, but did nothing for the stability.
Not giving up just yet
Cheers,
Steve |

| It will be interesting to see the answers you get. I wonder if something like Invisalign would work. |

| After a by-pass I developed a tooth infection and lost the two bottom front teeth. I use a partial plate. |

Do the 'smart thing' - STOP playing trumpet and other activities that puts unnecessary stress on your teeth. And don't tinker with any 'make-do' devices or procedures that 'might work'.

Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'. |

I think that it's the right thing to do. It's better to stop playing and take some time off.
It will help for teeth to recover |
