Q&A with orthodontist Dr Anton Bass- ANSWERS BACK

We're joined this week for a Q&A with specialist orthodontist Dr Anton Bass, who'll be answering your questions on all aspects of orthodontics for children, teenagers and adults. Orthodontics is a specialised field of dentistry which not only focuses on straightening teeth, but the development of the teeth, jaws and face, which all contribute to a nice smile. Dr Anton Bass is a graduate in Dentistry from Guy's Hospital, London and received his specialist Orthodontic training at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, where he obtained a Master's degree in Clinical Orthodontics and certification by the American Board of Orthodontics. In 2001, he joined his father at Bass Orthodontics, a well established family practice, having been there for over 30 years and is amongst the first specialist Orthodontic practices in London's West End. Although he treats patients of all ages, he has particular interests in early preventative treatment, adult and 'invisible' treatment. Please send your questions to Dr Anton Bass on everything from prevention being better than cure to it never being too late for straight teeth, before 5pm on Monday 19th September and we'll be linking to his answers on 28th September.

Hi there, Dr Anton Bass has been looking at your questions and wanted to respond quickly to ForWantofaNail's question (Weds eve 21.21) He says that if you haven't already, you should take your dd to the dentist asap. We'll be closing the Q&A on Monday at midday and sending a selection of your questions to Dr Bass.

Hi Dr Bass,
Do you have any advice re my 8 year old son. We've just found out that he is missing his 2 bottom front teeth - so his milk teeth there won't be pushed out. Is there anything in particular we should do - my dentist didn't seem too bothered?

@ToothbrushThief

Ooooh Justine same issue as my DD

Hi Toothbursh - interesting that you were told it was due to illness - I wasn't ill (as far as I recall!)

Thanks for all your questions. We're going to be sending a selection over to Dr Bass later today and we'll be linking to his answers on 28th September from this thread.
