Correct overlapping teeth

Q. Firstly my front two teeth overlap a little and i would like to know how that could be sorted. Secondly i wanted to know about filing down my teeth, because they do not look in line like they should. Any advice would be great. Thanks

A. Hi
if it is a minor overlap look at the inman aligner or invisalign as a solution , do not file anything down until you have considered brace options as the brace will  afffect the look

    i had the same problem my front teeth overlapped too
    it was a very minor overlap
    i went to an orthodontist
    and he recommended some sort of retainer thing
    and he filed my overlapping tooth down bc he said that my tooth had no space to move so thats why he had filed it down !
    but when he filled it down it just made my prob worst :( bc now it looks like a have a gap in between my teeth :(
    but its been 3 weeks that i wore the retainer
    i wear it all the time like he said
    but my teeth have NOT moved !
    it still looks like a gap :(
    what can i do?
    help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please

    I think my bottom jaw is to small for my teeth, one of my front bottom teeth is starting to twist do you think I will need bottom braces? My tooth next to that has recently chipped because of the twisted tooth I do not know wether I should make an appointment at my normal dentist office or if I should call an orthodontist and speak with them, what do you think I should do? Thanks for you time

    Ask your regular dentist to refer you to an orthodontist, they will probably know the best person to send you to.
