I have had an underbite and discoloured teeth all my life

Q. I would like to know if a problem i have had all my life can be corrected, to boost my confidence and smile without embarrassment. I am 47 years old, i have a underbite and feel that there is still some movement as my front top teeth are appearing off center and my facial appearance is changing, and to top it all off i have always had discoloured teeth.

 

A. There are now many ways we can improve the appearance of your teeth to try to give you back that confidence to smile. It is always difficult to advise you without seeing you but it sounds like we could correct your tooth alignment problems with some orthodontics such as Invisalign…which is very different from traditional fixed metal braces. After your teeth are aligned we could carry out some whitening to lighten your teeth or porcelain veneers to create that beautiful smile you want.
I hope this helps you
