Need latest treatment to fix my uneven crowded teeth

Q. Hi, I had braces on my top teeth when I was 17. I’m now 30 and I’m very self conscious of my ‘goofy’ teeth. The braces did straighten my teeth but my top teeth have always stuck out over my bottom ones. When I close my back teeth I am able to slide my little finger between the gap. When I had braces they never addressed my crooked bottom teeth and so I never have elastic bands to help the alignment of my teeth/jaw. As an adult now I feel I was possibly mistreated. I’m incredibly self conscious of my smile and I find I’m beginning to hide my teeth and mouth when I speak and laugh. All of this infuriates my husband who insists its part of what makes me me but I hate it! Is there anything that could help?

A. Thanks for your questions, there are many teeth straightening systems available now, with some that can acheive results within six weeks. I would recommend that you attend an orthodontic or cosmetic dental practice for a consultation, at which they should be able to advise you of the systems which are avilable to suit your case, the approximate treatment time and the price. Many of these practices will offer a free inital consultation, so that you can obtain the necessary information without any financial commitment and often have interest free credit facility to help spread the cost. I hope this helps.
Kindest Regards
