Overjet can be due to various reasons, could be your front teeth tilted more frontally, or your lower teeth tilted backwards, or you have a long upper jaw, or short lower jaw, or combo of the above.

Teeth do not naturally drift by itself, if you want the teeth to move, it has to have something acting force on it by pulling or pushing. Orthodontic does it by having an anchor (usually your first molar) to move your teeth.
If you extract a tooth say your 1st molar. you will have a gap and as you start using ur teeth to eat and bite everyday, the forces will move other teeth into that empty space.

heres a short video to explain

So back to your question, wisdom teeth is the most back teeth if all the teeth infront is intact, it will be in a stable occlusion, so with daily use, the bite is stabilized and no movement will happen.

Do government clinics use ultrasonic scalar or manual scalar?

Ultrasonic scalers, most are using ultrasonice only nowadays

I realised that my second lower molar have Overhanging Dental Restoration where the floss will go into a 'crackline' when floss is pulled up from the distal side.

Restoration was done 7 years back (a second deep restoration I believe as the first restoration many years back failed or cracked and had to be redone).

Over years I feel sensitivity at gumline distal side of this tooth. Now I read that ODR can cause periodontal problems around the tooth or even decay.

I told my dentist 2 years back about this sensitivity she tried probing the biting surface and told me the filling is ok. I did not research about this ODR at that time so I couldn't tell her this.

So what should I do about this tooth? If I go back and tell them about ODR, can they detect it with their probe?

Do you still have your wisdom tooth behind that second molar? Mostly by probing by itself can't detect if there's an overhang or a crack on the distal side.

My advice is to get a X-ray done where the overhang could be visualised/any other problems could be detected.

Wisdom is behind it. But there is a slight gap there because that wisdom is somewhat horizontally partial erupted.

On the other side, my previous dentist did a filling that joins the horizontal wisdom surface to the 2nd molar in front, so it closes up the gap. And I find that pretty good so far.

hi im having a one hell of a paintrain on my front teeth
at first it was a sharp piercing pain when i drain soup this morning
now it's a dull ache and sometime pulsating when i walk up and down the stairs

now that front teeth is sensitive and theres a dull pain sensation if i were to tap it lightly

the particular teeth, the back has chipped and is filled with normal fillings
that was during last christmas,
now its march, im wondering if its further decay and wonder
if i should get a new fillings?
or should i get a root canal done and have a veneer? (the cracked/chipped part is at the back of the front teeth)
or should i get a crown done (but most of my teeth structures are still around aside a small part at the back

is there a way to save the teeth without pulling it out?
how do i treat the pain sensation at the moment

Hello, do you have any nocturnal pain? It is highly unlikely there's further decay this early since you claim the filling was done 3 months ago(unless there was caries left behind and the filling was done)

Just based on your statement most likely looks like a microleakage/broken restoration.

Without further X-ray or clinical examination I can't give you further answers.

If its a case of microleakage/broken restoration a simple filling again would suffice.

Hope that helps

Thank you for your response

Yes I have nocturnal pain
And woke up with a sore gum allover
As if my entire left side of my face teeth wants to fall off
I'll be walking in a clinic now
And hope I don't need a root canal and a simple fix up on that tooth of mine
Hopefully nothing major

Let's hope for the best do keep us posted what happens

I just came out from the dental office
The doc told I have 2 choices
Take it out or root canal
She's charging me 700 for the root canal

It was an old temporary filling from all the way back Jun last year which I'm supposed to have it replaced

She had given antibiotics and painkillers
I'll be going back on Monday to do the root canal
As she can't do anything atm since my teeth are too sensitive to work on
It had effected the inside of the teeth
If she were to administer and then put a filling over it
It will reinfect again she said since the remnants won't have place to go

like what Murv90 mentioned, better to get a xray done and checked out. Alot of times, it might look nice on the surface but deep down it cant be unless an x ray or a gum check is done.

Overhanging can cause food stuck, eventually causing decay and gum problems.

Wisdom teeth like wise not growing properly can cause decay and gum problems which can affect neighbouring teeth eventually.

Do update if you have done and you can always request to take a pic of the x-ray as you paid for it.

Which means the decay have gone into the pulp of the teeth where it caused an infection which lead to your symptoms.

A root canal will solve your problem

Would a root canal cause my tooth to look dead?
Would crown be advised?
I may consider to get one latrr since most of my teeth structure are still in tact
My brother in law had his root canal done in the US and it costed him 800 USD

Yes & No.

Root canal basically removed all the blood vessels and nerve supply of the tooth, so you tooth will be 'dead' but the body remains.

It will not discolor suddenly. but overtime it may look different from other teeth. due to lack of blood supply.

A root canal teeth will also become brittle overtime that is why most dentist prefer to crown the tooth after root canal, that is for back teeth where we use to bite everyday.

For a front teeth, depending on your bite, if its well relieved from heavy biting forces, a crown may not be necessary.

If its the color you're concerned, can always do a veneer to cover the front part to make it look natural.

And Yes, Malaysia actually has one of the cheapest dental treatment rate in the world.

just got involved in car accident yesterday. Long story short my mouth is injured and one of my front teeth (central incisor) is slightly pushed inward. Not so obvious from the front but you can see it's crooked from the side when I'm smiling. Is there anything that the dentist can do to my teeth so that they become even again?

bracers

is it shaky? or slight movable? if it is means there might be a fracture on the bone holding the tooth, could be complete or incomplete,

if its movable, you can should go to a dental clinic straight away and get the teeth pushed back into position and the dentist can use wires to support that tooth back in proper position and allow it to heal that way.

but chances a proper x-ray should be taken to see the extent of the injury.

It's shaky. So got chance to put it back in place? How much would it cost approximately?

Yes, you can still move it back in place. then dentist can bond the tooth with other tooth using wires to hold it in place. Some like casting your arm or leg to allow it to heal at the right place.

But do it like first thing in the morning tmr if possible.. bone around tooth heal very fast and once its fixed.. its gonna be hard to move it back

I think somewhere around 250 would be a fair price. Future checks x ray etc may cost more.

Be do note that a tooth subject to trauma like that, theres a chance it may die, may discolor, might need a root canal in future.
