Q.

Hi,

I have a crooked smile but I think the main problem is that two of my teeth are ‘sharpened’ i.e. into a fanglike shape from years of wearing….is it possible to have teeth filing services to cure this?

Secondly I have already undertaken a brace course in my teens, I believe my teeth became crooked after my teeth failed to ajust to my post treatment retainer, in summary I think my smile is now too far forward (i.e. a rabbit smile) is it easy to push teeth back?

Kind regards

Q.

Hi there, I am 22 years old and never smile with my teeth out as they stick out at the front. It looks like I sucked my thumb when I was young although i didnt. When i clench my teeth i can fit the tip of my thumb under my front teeth.
I have been looking at veneers as they look good and seem to be in my price range but would i be able to get them as my teeth stick out. i would like my teeth to be straight but from research braces seem far too expensive. if i had veneers would my teeth still look like they stick out?

Q.
hello….in a freak accident I hit my front teeth with a silver ring( i am a jeweller ) so the edge of both front teeth were shattered. The dentist I went to did Cerec veneers I thought this would be a solution to my problem little did I realise it was only the beginning.After the veneers were fitted six in total , to my amazement I had acquired buck teeth as if this were not enough the two front teeth were of different thickness very odd useless for biting with! :/ Non of the other teeth seemed to follow the original curve of my own teeth .My dentist claimed that having veneers made in the lab would solve these issues, not so I had these fitted on wednesday 15th september and my front teeth are still the same lenght as they were granted without the briken edge but I did stress the impotrance of the fact that the length had to be addressed don’t know why but the overall look when I smile well makes the mouth look old!? I have lost faith in this dentist and would rather have another to fix redo my teeth do I have any claim to monies paid £2,400 for the 6 front teeth ??,
