My upper 4 front teeth are protruding, what would be the best type of treatment for me?

Q.
Hello, I am male and 21 years old. My upper front four teeth have drifted outside alignment by about 1.5 cm from their normal position. I want to make them shift back to their normal position. I have heard about some available treatments relating to this problem but i am still getting confused about what to do and what steps to take next. What can kind of treatments do you think will help me? are braces helpful in all situations? and what are the other available treatments that can be beneficial for me?. can a bridge be placed to replace the teeth instead or is that a silly idea? what do you think? I need all the help I can get so thank you.

Hi and thank you for your questions.
The gold standard treatment of choice is definitely orthodontics unless the teeth are rotten. You should get an opinion from an orthodontist or try looking up 6 month smiles if just the front teeth are involved.

Hello Doctor,

I have similar problem i.e. my upper front 5 teeth are protruding and also have gaps between. I have visited a doctor and he is suggesting for Smile Design program. I understand how Smile Design or Veneers made of Zirconia helps filling gaps but how can the protruding teeth problem be solved. Is it possible for undergoing Smile Design treatment for Protruding teeth? If so, is a veneer made of Zirconia is good. Do we have any side effects like skin/gum disease, Sensitive Teeth for any hot/cold items etc. Please help me with any information that you can.

Thanks,
Swarna
