I have teeth gaps do your teeth get filed down to pegs for veneers

Monday, February 25th, 2008
Q.
I have gaps in my top set of teeth and have always wanted to be rid of them and have an even gap free smile. I have been browsing the web to see that this problem is more often than not gotten rid of with veneers however I was under the impression your own teeth get filed down to mere pegs for the veneers to be fitted please can you confirm if this is the case, thank you.

I want to straighted my teeth should I get invisalign or train tracks?

Monday, February 25th, 2008
Q.
Hi there, I am 32 years old and really want to straighten my teeth. I have all of my own teeth except for the one that comes after the corner incisor on the right side of my mouth which was extracted when I was 9 years old. The dentist said my jaw on the right side was too small for the size of my teeth so he pulled it out. He gave me two braces, but they didn’t really do much. As a result, because of having an extra tooth on the left, the front six teeth are slanting over to the right. My teeth look normal on the left side when I smile but not normal on the right side. The wisdom tooth on the right side is down, bacuse there was room after the extraction, but on the left side, because of the extra tooth, the wisdom tooth is not fully down. I have a bit of overcrowding on the bottom front but my jaw appears to be straight. Can invisalign work for my teeth or should i get train tracks? Thanks, A

My fixed retainer came off and my gap between my front teeth opened

Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Q.
As a child I wore a fixed retainer for 18 months to close a gap between my two front teeth, a fixed retainer was also placed on the back of the teeth to prevent it reopening in the future. However the retainer on the back came off, my dentist took it off completely as he said there was no point replacing it. Since the gap has opened slightly. I will not wear a fixed retainer again would there be any other way to close the gap and prevent it reopening? I have an appointment with an orthodontist but it is expensive and I really don’t want to go if the only option would be to wear a fixed retainer. Thanks

Now I am 50 I dont have white teeth they have discoloured

Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Q.
I was always proud of my ‘white’ teeth as a younger man. I am now 50 years old and my teeth have discoloured. I don’t smoke or drink, and take very few curries. Therefore I fear it’s my age that has contributed to the colour of my teeth. For the first time in my life, I am very concerned about my teeth. How can my problem be rectified?
