I am unhappy with my 2 new veneers please help

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
I have just recently had 2 porcelain veneers. Basically the teeth at either side of my 2 front teeth, were a little too small for the space and I didn’t like it much. I asked my dentist about veneers and he said that they would improve my smile. However, I can really feel them. When I run my tongue over my mouth, I feel how ‘raised’ the veneer is compared to my own teeth and I don’t know if this is normal. Also, the veneer doesn’t feel like a tooth on the ‘bottom’. It feels thicker a little rounded, unlike my own teeth. Is this what veneers are like? I really am not happy and I haven’t got what I expected. Please help!

My upper teeth are crooked and twisted but cannot have metal braces will invisalign work

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Q.
My upper teeth care slightly crooked at the front. I had braces as a child but have been told that the orthodondist used old fashioned techniques that often go wrong. The two teeth immediately on either side of my two front teeth are slightly twisted round and sit a bit behind them. I have attempted braces about a year ago but as an adult can\’t really deal with having them, not being able to speak etc. However, I really want straight teeth (especially having already gone through so much pain, extractions etc to get them!). Do you think the invisalign braces would work for me? Thanks in advance.

My daughters have fluorosis and overbite would micro abrasion work

Friday, May 30th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have 2 daughters age 9 and 10 who both have moderate white fluorosis stains on their front teeth. Other children are now picking up on this and calling them cruel names as this makes the rest of their teeth appear a yellow colour. Furthermore, they are both unfortunate enough to have overlapping teeth and an overbite. They have both been referred to the orthodontist but they may not fit NHS criteria but we would fund treatment ourselves if this is the case. However, the fluorosis is the main source of worry as our own dentist just advises 18 and have their teeth bleached?? I have read about microabrasion – would a private cosmetic dentist consider doing this now- particularly as they may be undergoing orthodontic treatment in the future. Any advice you could offer would be very gratefully received.

My daughter does not qualify for an NHS orthodontist

Friday, May 2nd, 2008
Q.
My daughter has been assessed at a 2D rating for needing a brace. The orthodontist said she does not qualify for NHS treatment and would need to pay in excess of £2000 for treatment. Could you please explain the rating to me as I don’t understand how she does not qualify, yet needs this treatment
