My Canines Stick Out, I Need My Teeth Straightened. What Braces Should I Have To Boost My Confidence?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I have canine teeth that stick out a lot on my top teeth and therefore have resulted in slight crowding of my front top teeth. My bottom front teeth are also a little crowded. However, I am not sure which braces will be best for me as it’s only my front teeth which are not straight. I am really worried about my teeth as I don’t like smiling and they affect my confidence in public situations a lot.
I am not keen on having the standard metal braces as I don’t want them to look too obvious. I will be happy to pay £1500 or less to straighten my teeth. Which braces do you think I should have?

I’m A Single Mum And Looking Into Receiving Braces, How Much Am I Likely To Pay For Them?

Monday, July 1st, 2013
Q.

Hello, I was just wondering if you could please advise me with something? I was supposed to have braces as a teen but I opted not to as I didn’t want to get picked on for them. I wish I had toughed it out as now I’m too embarrassed to smile. All my canine teeth are way out of line, they look like a second row of teeth. My front teeth are crooked. I long for a straight smile so I can smile in photos with my children rather than hiding from the camera. Please can you tell me what the cheapest and quickest way of achieving this would be. I’m a single mum now so funds are scarce. Any advice would be great, such as general costs of braces and how long it will take for my teeth to become straight again etc. Thank you.

I’m 15 And Desperate For Braces, Can You Advise Me?

Monday, July 1st, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I’m really concerned about my teeth. First of all I absolutely hate them, as I feel my ‘fangs’ stick out and am currently looking into braces. However the teeth to inside (toward the centre of my mouth) are becoming wobbly and i’m really scared they will fall out. I’ve always had problems with my teeth and now I have 4 fillings (that are silver and not white, which I don’t know why) I’m 15 is that helps and currently really wanting braces so any other help on them would be great. I”ll be okay for receiving braces through the NHS won’t I? Is it when you’re 18 and over you have to pay for brace treatment? Otherwise I won’t be able to have anything done because I don’t have any money, I’m only a teenager! Thanks for your help.

I Sucked My Thumb Until The Age Of 12, What’s The Cheapest Way I Can Get My Teeth Fixed?

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi Andrew. I am writing to you in order to seek some advice. I am very embarrassed to admit that I sucked my thumb day and night from being a baby to age 12. Now my teeth are crooked and arched and I am regularly told that I have “vampire teeth” because my canines stick out. I have lost a lot of confidence because of this and cannot smile in pictures. I am a teenager and have been refused help by my dentist because the problem is cosmetic. Please can you advise me on the best procedures for my case and hopefully, cheap ones also, preferably due to my current situation with money. I would also like to know if my teeth will gradually set straight again over time as well? Or would this only come about with the help of brace treatment for example?Thank you for taking your time to read this in advance.

I Have Two Extra Canine Teeth, How Do I Go About Getting These Removed?

Friday, June 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I have still got baby teeth which didn’t come out as a child and as a result I have two extra canine teeth. I am aware the baby teeth are not going to last long-term but unsure of what procedure I would need to either bring the adult canines into position/ remove and replace with ? An alternative. Would brace treatment have to be involved in order to move the canines into position? I feel this would be the best solution as it is less invasive than tooth removal. Also I believe it would cost a substantial amount but have no idea what the approximate cost would be. I really don’t know how to go about receiving treatment for this. Can you please shed some light? Any help greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Is there a way my teeth can be fixed within six months?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hey Dr Moore. I have a few problems with my teeth that need fixing as soon as possible. I have two front canine teeth that are like fangs, they are based more forward and higher up than all my other teeth. I also have crooked teeth on the front at the bottom. To be honest i have never really looked after my teeth and have 5 fillings already. I just wanted to know if there is a way to straighten them mainly the top two and if so can it be done in 6 months? I don’t like the dentist which is why i never go and i know for a fact my teeth need a good sorting out.

I look forward to hearing from you and hearing if this is something that can get sorted or if I have to just deal with my smile putting all my photos of me to shame!

thank you for your time.

regards,

A.

Would facial symmetry be ruined by removing canine tooth?

Monday, July 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I am 24 years old and interested in correcting my teeth. I have had braces before (when i was around 15-16, for a year), however, my teeth aren’t aligned properly. I don’t have an overbite or under bite.One of my lower central incisors is crooked.So the bottom 4 incisors arent in a proper order.My bottom canines are big and closer to the incisors than the molars.Also, my upper 6 teeth are a bit huge.

My dentist said that i have a good profile and don’t need braces for my upper teeth, but i will need to extract the C1 lateral incisor from my lower teeth (to avoid crowding) and have braces added. Apart from this extraction, 2 wisdom teeth need to be removed as well.

My question is : wouldn’t there be no symmetry since only one tooth is being removed and also wouldn’t there be a gap between my lower incisors? Would you suggest a similar treatment? your thoughts please and thanks in advance.

I am experiencing pain under one of my new veneers, should I be worried?

Monday, November 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I had two porcelain veneers on my canine teeth a month ago. I had a problem with the bite but the dentist did some filing at it all seemed well. However the last 10 days I have been getting pain in one of the veneers, which is sore to touch and also alot of pain moving around that side of my jaw. I went to the dentist and she said i need a root canal she didnt do any X-rays.

Do you think the pain may settle down? The pain comes and goes.

Also wondering why it only started a few weeks after treatment too.

Many thanks

Do I really need to have healthy teeth removed for orthodontic work?

Q.

hello doctor
i got braces two months ago …i had two missing incisors (congenitally) so my ortho. decided to fill the gaps with my canines then reshape them as incisors … now i will get braces for my lower jaw . my lover teeth are totally fine and straight but the ortho decided that i should extract two lower teeth just because i have two missing teeth in the upper jaw and not to make space for moving the lower teeth !!! i am really scared because i don’t like to extract those perfectly fine teeth while people are paying hundreds of dollars on teeth implants … and i hears also that my face will never look the same once those teeth are removed !!!! my question is that should i need to extract those two teeth ? or there is another option? please help!
