Are there any alternatives for straightening crooked teeth?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
Hello, i’ve got a problem, My two front teeth they are kind of crooked, the front tooth on the right is overlapping the left hand tooth. And also my canines are sticking out of the gum. More pushed out more than anything. What would you insist on doing? Bracers is one option, but is it possible to get a brace that is removable, for example: Like a retainer or something like that? Because i’ll admit I am completely ashamed of my looks. Teeth wise anyway. And I like my teeth their clean and healthy. I just couldnt see my self wearing a brace in clear daylight. So maybe is their something I can get that i can take off instead of a permanent brace.,

Would implant be good replacement for old bridge?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
I had a bridge done by the NHS when I was 15 yrs old. It’s not looking really great now that I’m 32 yrs old. The metal is not only showing through on the adjacent tooth but where the enamel has ebbed away is actually showing now. As I’m considering getting my teeth lasered with brite Smile I wondered if now would be the best time to get an implant and how much would all this cost me as I am working but have very little to spend.,
