My bottom teeth are cramped and overlapping

Friday, May 2nd, 2008
Q.
I am 26 years old and terrified of the dentists but always pluck up the courage to make an appointment every 6 months. My teeth are in a very clean and healthy condition but my problem is my front bottom six teeth are really cramped and over lapping giving me slurred speach. I also have an uneven bite. My top teeth are quite straight apart from one tooth which is twisted to the side. What sort of treatment would i need and how much could it cost. I had a brace when i was younger but hated it so much i removed it after about 2 months (the most regretable decision of my life). Cosmetic dentistrty is the only option for me. Thanks

Two front teeth are large and crooked will the Inman Aligner work

Friday, May 2nd, 2008
Q.
I am a fourty year old woman who has always been self conscious of my teeth. My two front teeth are large and crooked in the inwards direction. My other teeth are far from perfect but these are the worst of them. My teeth have always had a yellow tinge to them and now are even darker. I am thinking of porcelain veneers but do not like the sound of trimming the surface of the teeth so wondered if I would be better having an Inman Aligner fitted in London and then having the teeth whitened. What is your opinion please?

A.
It sounds like you need to see… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
