Q. Im 44 and ive never had a confident smile…my top teeth are overcrowded and i have fangs….i went to a private dentist last week and he said i needed to see the hygienist a few times and then see what my options are….apparently i have gum disease and the hygienist may be able to help…my teeth feel strong but the xrays dont lie and i may not be suitable for braces….are there any other options available to me if im not allowed braces…many thanks
A.
I would need to see you at the practice to help. Because there are choices but the degree of crowding and gum problems needs to be accurately assessed.
A 15 discussion is free at the StJohns Dental Practice if you can travel to Birmingham City Centre.
