Wednesday, February 16th, 2011Are there any quick solutions for overcrowded teeth?
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011Q.
In a few months time I’ll turn 18 and feel that my teeth are too overcrowded for conventional braces to align them in a short amount of time (which is why I deeply regret not getting them a few years ago). My smile is the main cause of my lack of confidence in social situations and I feel too embarassed to visit my dentist in regards to fixing it. My top set of teeth are a lot worse than my bottom set as one tooth is a lot further back than the others, causing an overlap. I’ve researched into veneers available on the NHS and feel this could be a suitable option as I want the treatment to be over as soon as possible. I’ve also become more aware of slightly wobbly teeth but am not sure whether this is just a subconscious thought. As it is only the front 6 on the top set and front 4 on the bottom set of my teeth that aren’t aligned, I’ve also looked into the 6 month smile braces but it all seems to good to be true. What do you think is the best option for me?

I am due to have 4 teeth removed for orthodontics, is this excessive?
Friday, February 11th, 2011Q.
I have had separate assessments for Invisalign and Incognito lingual braces to correct an overlap of upper front teeth and misalignment of lower front teeth. Both assessments have come back saying that four teeth need to be extracted – one in each of the four ‘corners’ of the mouth – prior to fitting of the appliance in order for it to work. This seems rather drastic and I cannot imagine that the gaps left by the removal of such large teeth will be closed by the realigned teeth, although the orthodontist who did the Incognito assessment has said they there will be no gaps at the end of treatment (which could take up to 22 months). I’ve booked to have the extractions done next wek, but I’m really still not very happy about having perfectly healthly teeth removed for this purpose. Does it sound right that I have to take such drastic action to get the smile that I want? (I’m in my 40s).

My veneer on a tooth has turned grey, what do you suggest?
Friday, February 4th, 2011Q.
Hello,
When I was 14 I had my braces removed which caused my front tooth to die and go grey. After having bleaching done, then follwing a root canal, I had a veneer- I’m now 24 and the veneer looks grey again.
My question is, What is the best option, to replace it with a crown, lumineer or another veneer. I’m also having my teeth whitened.
The front tooth looks ok in some light but when I take a look in a shadowy area, and quite away from the mirror- thats when I notice it more. Please help!!
