What can be done to rectify filing that was done on my teeth during braces treatment?

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I’ve had braces on for the past 18 months and they are due to come off in a couple of weeks. I am unhappy with the filing my orthodontist has done. It now looks as though the corners of some of my teeth have been chipped and they also look irregular! Is there any way I can get this corrected? Should I ask my orthodontist to lengthen the teeth he’s filed that i’m unhappy with so as they can be reshaped?

Can I correct my smile with orthodontics rather than using veneers?

Monday, April 16th, 2012
Q.

Hi,

I have regional ordonto displacia ( not sure on spelling). I was diagnosed at 3years old. I have it in my upper left quad and only 4 teeth there (that have grown through for a 3rd time). These teeth have been brought forward using orthodontics and then capped to reshape them to their new function. The front tooth however is an implant.
I have always been self concious of my teeth/smile and since my treatment finished 4 years ago at the age of 21 I have little more confidence. The problem I have is that my implant is smaller than its natural partner and the line of my implant and caps goes up! Meaning that all the teeth on that side a smaller and not symmetrical to my normal side. My centre line is also slightly over to my left.
I just want to know what I can do to have a perfect smile to be proud of, after so many years I am not keen to have veneers as these will render my previous pain worthless.
the work done is great and I’m very grateful but I still can’t bear to look at my teeth up close.
the caps are also now cracking… HELP?

Can veneers ‘fill’ out my smile?

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011
Q.

I’m wondering if veneers are the answer. I hate my smile, my teeth and jaw are very small. They don’t “fill out” my smile. It really affects me day to day.I had braces for overcrouding years ago, and found a new found confidence when wearing my retainer afterward simply because it made my teeth bigger. They fit my mouth and face better and found myself comfortable smiling in public and photographs. I’m wondering if i can get that same confidence back from veneers? will they be able to give me the same result? My teeth are slightly stained and crooked, but i’m looking for something that will make them bigger as well. It’s a very big problem for me and i’m determined to finally get it sorted so i can smile with confidence again. Hope you can help,
Amy

Will veneers make my teeth protrude?

Monday, August 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi I am 25 year old female that has been told i have periodontitis. I have received treatment for this in the form of scaling and root planning. I also have receded gums five gum pockets between my front teeth which have made me very depressed. I have seen one cosmetic dentist and he said he can add composite resin to these teeth to make them look more natural and close the gaps, is this good for the gum? What other option do I have veneers? Would this make my teeth even more protruding? I have also had braces for a year to correct an over bite and close some gum gaps where the teeth had been stripped a little to make the gaps smaller but the gum gaps are still there. I also have a permanent brace behind my top teeth to stop it from moving. I have been in a very depressive state as to what can be done about my teeth to keep my gums stable. What can be done aesthetically to help me get my confidence back and smile?
Please can you help me as I feel I dont know what can be done?

Why will veneers make my teeth look bulky?

Friday, July 15th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I want to have veneers on my two top front teeth as I dislike the shape and colour of them (I currently have composite fillings which are unsightly looking).

Two dentists however have told me that veneers would look bulky on my teeth. I don’t understand – why would they look bulky if a veneer is the same thickness as the amount of tooth removed?

My teeth are in line, but I do have a 6mm overbite (which does not bother me). Would this be why they might look bulky?

Are my veneers fitted correctly?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello recently  I have just had veneers fitted  as one of my front teeth had died and had turned yellow .Also there was a gap between my teeth which has been closed slightly and the front four teeth have been capped . But now i cant close my mouth properly and the teeth rest on my bottom lip and my top lip sticks out more. The my teeth did do this slightly before I’d gotten veneers fitted but not as much as they do now . Also when i put my bottom and top lips together it feels as if I have to stretch my lip to get it to cover my teeth, for example when you stretch your lips to rub together after you’ve just put a fresh coat of lipstick on. Surely this cant be right ?
Thank you for your time

What is the best way to close the gaps at the front of my mouth?

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
Q.

I have gaps between my two front teeth and between my right front tooth and lateral incisor, and my left lateral incisor and canine. I want to get braces to fix this. Orthodontist says my bottom jaw is too big for my top jaw, so can’t close the gap. Lateral incisors did not grow wide enough, so there is spaces. They can shave my bottom teeth vertically, push them backwards and close the top jaw teeth a little, but will need bonding on the sides of the lateral incisors to close all gaps. I am not excited about bonding on lateral incisors. I was wondering if a veneer on the canines would be sound and they could widen that tooth instead of widening the lateral incisor. Question – would that look too odd or be not strong on a canine tooth? Especially since the problem is that my lateral incisors are the problem with not being wide enough? i don’t want my teeth to look too wide or unnatural. I want a long term solution.
