Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | My teeth have moved around quite a bit since radiation because I had to have my two bottom front teeth pulled before rad started and my mouth was so sore and irritated after, the dentist didn't try to do anything to build a bridge there for quite a while. As a result, my lower teeth have moved and my upper front teeth have moved as well--they used to be nice and straight and now one has tilted in and is partially behind another.
I would love to think I could find someone who could give me braces for this to fix it without it being dangerous or damaging in some way. So if anyone has had braces, I'd like to know!
