I’m 16 and I have bad teeth, I can’t afford veneers so what are my options?

Thursday, June 28th, 2012
Q.

Hello dr moore. I am 16 years old and i am really suffering because of my very bad teeth. They are very discoloured despite me trying lots of different tooth whitening treatments, I also have an overbite and individual teeth lay on top of each other or are crooked meaning they are chipped too. There are just soo many problems and now I really hate smiling and meeting new people. I asked my dentist about braces and she said I would have to pay because I am not classed as a severe case as I only want them to “look good”. As you can tell this is really upsetting me because my self esteem is so bad. I can’t afford veneers so what can I do?! Please give me some advice!

How can I correct my stained and chipped teeth?

Friday, June 1st, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I knocked out my two front teeth around 10 years ago when I was 11 years old. I have had braces fitted twice which alined the rest of my teeth however the front two are chipped due to my accident and one is shorter then the other, I would like a professional oppinion as to whether there is anything i can do to get my teeth looking ‘perfect’. I had to undergo procedures every 1-3 months for root treatment for around 2 years on the front teeth but during this time they began to disintergrate in the small gap that is now between them and have gone slightly darker. I have had my teeth whitened several times which does not seem to last long even though i have a healthy diet and do not smoke or drink things such as coffee or red wine as suggested by my dentist. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Kind regards.

Can I get teeth whitening and bonding after my Invisalign treatment ends?

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Q.

hi, I am almost finished with my invisalign treatment and am very happy with the straightening results. However it has created more problems for me. As the teeth have moved, stains on the edges of teeth that were tucked behind others have appeared. I am 38 so they have been there a long time. I have been trying whitening toothpastes etc but not noticing any difference. Also on the front tooth, the edge has been revealed to be slightly ‘chipped’, it’s very rough, can this too be fixed? I don’t want to still be embarrassed with my new smile. My dentist says he will replace fillings that I had on my front tooth when I broke it as it is not the right shape for my new teeth. Will he be able to do that before I start wearing retainers, I don’t want to wait possibly 2 or 3 years before I have the fillings replaced but obviously this will change the shape of the retainer. please help! thank you

What can be done to rectify filing that was done on my teeth during braces treatment?

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I’ve had braces on for the past 18 months and they are due to come off in a couple of weeks. I am unhappy with the filing my orthodontist has done. It now looks as though the corners of some of my teeth have been chipped and they also look irregular! Is there any way I can get this corrected? Should I ask my orthodontist to lengthen the teeth he’s filed that i’m unhappy with so as they can be reshaped?

Why are my teeth eroding and what can I do?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I’m afraid the enamel on my front two teeth is eroding. I had braces for two years, and during this time, my teeth did not have that “clear” appearance on the bottom. Once I got my braces off, I noticed that my front two teeth were becoming clear. Since then, I have not been drinking soda and other acidic beverages. However, one of my front teeth has been chipping. Just tiny chips, but it still concerns me. Are my teeth chipping because of weak enamel? I do not eat very hard/crunchy foods, and I do not grind my teeth. I am only 15, and I take very good care of my teeth (I brush/floss twice a day, use mouthwash, etc). I do not want to get composite put onto my front two teeth because it must be replaced every few years and enamel must be removed in order for the composite to stick. I do not want to get veneers/crowns either, because they require shaving down the tooth. What should I do in order to improve the appearance of my “clear” front teeth, and perhaps strengthen the enamel?
Thanks!

Can you tell me why composite resin would chip away?

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Q.

My student had composite resin put on several of her front teeth because of severe decay. Two weeks after the procedure it began to chip away. Is this normal? Is this beacuse of the child’s personal dental care or her eating habits?
