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
