Im 16 and ive gaps in my bottom teeth would veneers suit me

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi  im 16 years old and i have a gap in my tooth, the gap is more wide at the bottom of my tooth than it is at the front. Looking at my photos i have not had a gap in my tooth when i was younger but as i reached the age of about 12, i started to get a gap in my tooth. I have been looking at “veneers” on this website and i was wondering whether i can get them at this age or will my gap get better as i get older or is it better if i get braces, however i do not want to get braces unless i have to because mostly my teeth is straight, it is just the two front teeth. Can you please recommend to me which method i should take to get rid of my gap? Thanks

A.

Ive gaps between my 2 front teeth will teeth effect band suit me

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Hiya Dr Patel, I’ve been looking into various treatments to close the gap between my 2 front teeth. The gap is approximately 2-3mm. Whilst researching treatments such as invisalign and inman aligners i have came across a product called Teeth Effect Bands, these claim to close the gap without the need for visiting a dentist. They apparantly act like an elastic band that draws your teeth together. I was wondering if you fell these are an effective treatment and would you recommend them for my issue. Thanking you kindly

Is there a negative effects of drilling away the amalgam fillings?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
2-3 years ago, my last molar on the left side had a big cavity and reached the nerve. my dentist advised me to do a root canal but i decided not to and asked her to do a filling instead. i did a composite one, and another time when it wore down, and switched to amalgam the third time when it had to be replaced (just this year). now, part of my amalgam filling has chipped off. i am not sure how big the chip is in comparison to the cavity but i don’t feel any pain. i think my dentist will want to replace it again but i am concerned about the negative effects of drilling away the amalgam (it releases harmful mercury vapour). what should i do? should i still get the filling replaced? can the chipped part just be filled up with another filling?

A.
You need to ideally discuss yo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
