Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2007Teeth put back to pre brace/retainer position
Hi I have had all my amalgam fillings removed by a bio-dentist in Scotland. He is now telling me that i should have my teeth put back to their pre brace/retainer positions. Don't think that i am going to have buck teeth again, though! does anybody think that this is a worthwhle procedure? Does anybody know the technical name for this procedure? (So I Google it) Are there any bio-dentist in the developing world who would be qualified to undertake this procedure? ( I am currently travelling and can live anywhere) Thank you kindly Report the nut-case to the local licensing board.

Impossible to put teeth back into their pre brace position. what a lunatic Do you lot know where the term quack originates? I´ll tell you, shall I? The german word for mercury is quacksalber. People who used the substance went mad. Report him to the General Dental Council: http://www.gdc-uk.org/ P.S.: care to share his name? just curious > Report the nut-case to the local licensing board. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > Thank you kindly Since we really don't know if the OP got the story right, and we don't know if this OP is the one person out of 50,000 that would actually benefit from this, I think the dentist's name should stay out of a public forum which is not modulated.

It's not moderated either ;-D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery More info on the origins of the term, quack Ha > Hi > > I have had all my amalgam fillings removed by a bio-dentist in > Scotland. Uh-oh. The replacement of fillings involves further removal of healthy tooth structure, which weakens teeth. It should be done only when there is new decay, excessive wear or fracture of the fillings, or fracture of the teeth. > He is now telling me that i should have my teeth put back to their pre > brace/retainer positions.

What is the purpose of erasing all the gains you have obtained through proper orthodontic treatment? Oh, wait . . . don't tell me . . . it has something to do with paying a lot of money to the person proposing this treatment? Now I see . . . You should have a consultation with a qualified orthodontist before moving the teeth back again. > does anybody think that this is a worthwhle procedure? No. > Does anybody know the technical name for this procedure?

( I am currently travelling and > can live anywhere) If he calls himself a "bio-dentist," run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. > Thank you kindly You're welcome.

Well, I'm not certain but I think the are some *gurus* out there that flat out say any extractions for orthodontic purposes are contraindicated. You will destroy the maxillofacial complex by doing this. The only remedy is to reopen spaces and replace the teeth with prosthetics. I suppose if a case was incorrectly diagnosed, treated incompetently and all midface support is lost.......... well you would have to be a hack. I've seen the photo's trotted out showing this but there aren't any pretreatment records for comparison. There are people who present this appearance pre- treatment but crowding is severe enough that treating without extra space will move the teeth right out of the alveolus. I would venture to say, with nothing to back it up, that a treatment plan such as the OP reported is bogus 99.9% of the time, or more. carabelli Thank you for the only reply which was willing to at least consider that modern orthodontics might have got something wrong. I am curious. Where would i find more info on the subject and what is the terminology?
