Hi Andrew. I am a college student, I’m 19 years old and I don’t actually have extremely bad teeth but the major problem is that my upper jaw is a bit out. I even asked for braces from the dentist but he said that braces are possible only after 5 extractions, but I don’t wish to extract my teeth. I tend to hesitate when I smile. My teeth aren’t very long. They are white, short and clustered but not too much overcrowding. Could you please suggest something to help me? Thanks.

Is There Any Whitening Product On The Market That Can Brighten Up My Old Crowns?
Monday, March 3rd, 2014I have heard that there are whiteners for capped teeth. My caps are pretty old, about 10 years. I have seen a periodontist and asked him if I should have the caps replaced and he said no. My caps are pretty yellow and I would like to have them lightened. Is there a way to do this? I really can’t afford to have the caps replaced, maybe a few, but it bothers me to smile, but I do because that is in my nature and I like to smile. I just wish I had whiter teeth. I know a lot of women and men whiten there natural teeth but what about us who have a mouth full of crowns? Is there no whitener in the market for crowns?
I Have Low Esteem And I Would Like To Know Roughly How Much It Costs To Get The Perfect Smile?
Thursday, February 27th, 2014Hi Andrew,
I am an 18 year old student studying at college. I hope you can offer me some good advice.

My question for you Andrew, is how much roughly does the process cost and how long would it take? Are there any other benefits and drawbacks? Thanks. I look forward to hearing your reply.
I Hate The Gap Between My Two Front Teeth And I Want It Fixed. What Should I Do?
Wednesday, February 19th, 2014Hi Dr Moore. I am 19 years old and I have a gap in between my two front teeth, but apart from that my other teeth are virtually perfect. I hate the way my teeth look so much, because of my gap (it’s caused by one of my front teeth being crooked). I really want this one tooth sorted out so that I can smile with my teeth for once! What should I do? I was never advised to get braces when I was a child because my dentist thought my gap would close as I got older. Please, I hope you can help and give me any advice, many thanks.
I Like The Sound Of Invisible Braces As I Would Be Self-Conscious About How I Looked With Normal Ones. How Much Do They Cost?
Monday, February 17th, 2014Hi, I’ve just been looking up about the ‘6 month smile’ treatment and wanted to know a little more information, such as how they look, can you see much? Also cost, as I don’t have a lot of money? I’m 21 years old and I’m unhappy about how my teeth look. They’re really overcrowded. I wouldn’t consider a brace any more, as I would be self-conscious about how it looked to others, seeing as I’m older now. I liked the sound of not being able to see anything in my mouth with the 6 month smile. If you could get back that would be great with any information that would be great, thanks.
My Teeth Are Black At The Back And I Haven’t Seen A Dentist For Nearly 20 Years. Is There Anything That Can Be Done To Get Them Back To White?
Monday, February 17th, 2014Hi Mark. I haven’t seen a dentist for nearly 20 years, my teeth are very discoloured and the bottom ones are black at the back. I’ve recently given up smoking but like a coffee and red wine. I don’t suffer from any toothache, although my teeth are very sensitive. Is there anything that can be done to get my teeth back to white or am I looking at having them removed and having dentures? I am 41 years old and this is really depressing me now, I would do whatever it takes to get a nice smile back and regain some confidence.
