Orthodontic braces and teeth
If someone has 28 teeth and got 4 canines removed for braces as there was no space in the mouth, and post braces, in-between removed 4 wisdom teeth, 2 out 4 that got decayed and 2 wisdom teeth, upper ones, that weren't even coming out properly. Now, only 24 teeth left, out of which 3 have root canals and others have fillings. Does this teeth count and procedures that one has undergone, affect brain functions or memory adversely. This was for a young person. What will happen in 60s and 70s, God only knows. Some say that less teeth means less chewing leads to reduce sensory input and affecting memory. How true is this? Can someone please guide me.

Dental braces
Sir/Madam
I needed orthodontic treatment for my upper front teeth. So i consulted an orthodontist and asked about the treatment plan. The orthodontist said that he will give metallic braces and an expander to create space.
We then consulted another orthodontist and he said that expander will not work for a 15+ year old girl. He said that he will not disturb the structure and will only bring the teeth inside by putting braces and doing IPR if required for space.
I am confused on which is the right step. Does expander work on a 15+ year old girl or not?
Kindly help that which treatment approach is the right one. Thanks in advance

Deep Bite flrorosis in front teeth
Hello doctor,
I have deep bite and fluorosis in my front teeth. My upper front teeth are slightly inward, and they were never shiny they have always looked dull. In 2015 i found cavity in front teeth then In 2017, I had cavities and got fillings done. One tooth had deep cavity, so medicine was placed before filling.
Now teeth look darker, feel weak, and I cannot brush hard on them, so braces may not be possible. This affects my confidence while smiling. And after that i also face many times a bump inside the nose and that pain goes on teeth very unbearable.
Please suggest a safe and budget-friendly treatment without removing natural teeth.I am very introverted person and i feel so stressed 😥.Help
Thank you.

Dental issue for 2 year old
The left central incisor looks slightly chipped at the bottom (we’re not sure how it happened).
On the right central incisor, there seems to be a groove on the middle surface where food tends to get stuck.
There’s also a brown stain that sometimes reduces after proper brushing.
She doesn’t eat chocolates or biscuits, but she does eat muruku and fruits. She is still breastfeeding as well.
Brushing has been quite challenging. She doesn’t allow us to brush properly — she mostly chews the brush and screams if we try to help. We’re using Chicco toothpaste as recommended by her pediatrician.
