Q. Hello I have a problem where my teeth from the k9s inwards are too far forward they are straight as the roots themselves are too advanced. I suspect I should have had braces as a child. The result is when my mouth is closed I look as if im wearing a gum sheild. I saw an orthodentist about 10 yrs ago who said he couldnt really make much difference. I wondered if techniques have moved on since and if you might be able to help?

A. hi
im afraid that without considering orthognathic surgery there may not be any other treatment that will help.
a referral to ahospital orthodontic dept will help with discussio on this as a option
