my crowns are developing gaps between them

Q. Hi, I have 5 crowns fitted to my top front teeth and the layout of them have been changing, like big gaps are forming and also they are protruding. I have had braces before and corrected the bite but my dentist said my top jaw is smaller than the bottom. I have since had problems with these crowns and I hate the way they look, I can’t talk or smile without feeling ugly. Also the crowns have formed gaps and starting to protrude. I don’t know why this is. Would it be because the crown post was already protruding so its makin it that way? My question is, it is possible to remove the crowns once and for all and have a partial denture instead? I have been struggling with my smile all through my life, I am 29 now. The last crowns and brace treament ruined my life and now I just want to remove all my top crowns, I rather be without them, thats how depressed it makes me

A. Hi 

I am sorry to hear about your circumstances.
Unfortunately it is very difficult to give a definitive answer without looking at your teeth clinically and radiographically. This would allow us to see the condition of the mouth and give you a variety of treatment options to meet your expectations and budget.
I hope this helps.
