Are there any procedures to bring back my original shape of face?
Q. When i was in my teens i had a fixed brace to straighten my teeth, teeth were also removed, This totally changed the shape of my face my top lip/chin look empty even though i only had about 4 teeth out, are there any proceedures which could either bring teeth back out even if it meant wearing another brace, i dont really want veneers, i wish id been asked before the brace as id rather have had crooked teeth than a changed face! please help!!
A. Hi many thanks for your email, generally the brace treatment which requires extracting teeth does sometimes make your jaws and smile very narrow. my advice would be to use an expander to widen the smile this would refill your face and smile and help to close the gap from what you was like to how you are now. go for a consultation with an cosmetic orthodontist who i am sure will discuss these options with you.
I am missing #20 and #19 and going to have what I thought was one implant. Now with 2 opinions I am being told that I need 2 implants because of space involved that one implant will fail in a large space. Trying to gather info to make a decision.
