protrusion of front incisors of my upper jaw

Q. hello doctor, i’m a 24 years old female doctor working in Pakistan. My problem is the protrusion of front incisors of my upper jaw. Xray of my upper jaw shows compactness of molar teeth behind. i want a non extraction treatment done. the protrusion makes my fascial profile and smile get affected badly, making me under confident. Kindly guide me to solution of my problem. I really need help. Hoping for a favorable response. Regards.

A. Hi,

there are essentially 2 options. Either using orthodontics to correct the protrusion, with orthodontics a non extraction approach may be possible, but the crowding may be too severe and not correct it completely.

the other option is to have the teeth crowned to bring them into alignment, however, it the protrusion is severe you may be looking at the need for root canal treatments and possibly post crowns. Without a clinical consultation, i cannot tell you the best choice.
