Saturday, May 31st, 2008

My teeth don’t show when I smile and my top tooth needs braces

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have two questions:
1) The tooth adjacent to my middle top two teeth is at an angle and allows air though when I trying to say ‘s’ and as a result makes it difficult for me to speak correctly. I am 42 so can this tooth be straightened with a brace or would it require a crown or are there other alternatives?2) When smiling my teeth don’t show, I think I have short gums. Can anything be done so that my teeth show when I smile? Many thanks.
