 changed bite examined by dental students

My wife had some gum disease some three years ago, and had two back teeth
removed.  It appears that the back tooth opposite the space left by the
removed teeth has grown much more than the other back teeth.  She feels that
the sense of bite when eating is now not quite right.

Is there any teaching hospital in London (U.K.) that might consider this a
problem that could be looked at by dental students?  Would anyone recommend
a teaching hospital that might take her on?

Why not get a free consultation from a non-teaching dentist ....?

Or Steve Mancuso .... many people from the U.K. fly
over to see Steve.

thanks for your response.   i made the assumption that this might be a bit
of a complicated dental problem. as we are national health patients in
London (charges are government assisted) we only get seen by very young
dentists at the practice we go to.

my thinking is that by going to a teaching hospital the treatment is free
because you are seen by trainee dentists. However the work is overseen by
experienced teachers, so at least somebody there has experience.

am i seeing this matter correctly?   thanking you for any further advice.

I don't actually know the answer to the question, but...
Seeing a private dentist would pan out cheaper than flying to the US to
see Steve Mancuso, even if he did offer free treatment to UK
citizens... we should start a little business, whereby we fly medicaid
patients over to see private SMD dentists in the UK, and NHS patients
in the UK to see private SMD dentists in the US... I know it makes no
sense in monetary terms, but it would be good for tourism revenue!

sounds like the upper tooth extruded due to no functional bite on the
lower, I sometimes use pinplants with elastic chain to intrude these
teeth back in to a normal occlusion before braces and then get
everything lighed up and consider a dental implant to restore the
lower.  Just a possibility.

This should be overeruption due to absence of an opposing tooth. It can
be corrected but ultimately your wife will have to get something to
cover that gap. This could be arranged by your regular dentist. To
correct the overeruption your dentist could refer you to a dental
hospital to see a specialist, like Eastman or Guy's, but this could
take time and patients are not automatically accepted for treatment
(only if the case is interesting enough for teaching). A referral to a
private orthodontist could be another option.
