Hi, I’m looking into getting cosmetic dentistry but I do not know what the best option is, my main issue is the colour of my teeth and the fact that one of my upper front tooth overlaps the one next to it due to an accident when I was younger which makes my smile lobsided and crooked. Would I need veneers or is it not possible to readjust my teeth alignment so that it does not overlap? I would prefer to keep my two front teeth as they are distinctive to me and they are not a bad shape in themselves its just the overlapping that is the issue, I definitely want veneers on my there teeth though as my canines do not match in size and the rest are also not similar in shape and size. Its really getting me down now, I am 21 and have been thinking of getting my teeth done for 7 years now.

hi, im 20 years old and im always worrying about my smile, i hate to smile with my mouth open my two front teeth are much larger and not straight which becomes a problem when i smile. they are also not straight along the bottom of the two front teeth, i just wondered what the options are for me and the cost to improve this. given the fact that im young and dont have much money to spend on repairing them. thanks 

Hi Rob,

I’m a 29 year old male from the East Midlands. I have what i would call severely crooked top teeth. This has had a major impact on my life, from relationships and interviews, to learning to even speak and laugh differently to hide my teeth. My top teeth are crowded and one of the top two front teeth angles back into the mouth and the other protrudes.

I have never been able to afford treatment but have just been made redundant and will be getting a reasonable pay-out, i have decided i want to look into getting my teeth sorted as they make me very unhappy.
Going to the dentist makes me very anxious as i am ashamed of my teeth, i did ask about correcting them a few years ago and was quoted £7500.00 for veneers. Even with my pay-out, this is still a little to much than i can afford.

I was just after advice really, i would rather avoid metal ‘train-tracks’ if possible, but have heard about others such as Clearstep and Inman aligners. From the very basic summary of what i’ve said, and the hindrance of not being able to see my teeth, would you think i can get anything done for say £5000.00? Are braces the best option for me, and will Clearstep or Inman be suitable for my degree of crookedness?
Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Is it possible to have my teeth straightened through what I think maybe gum disease.
Some have become loose and I had extensive work done when younger to straighten them, but they are out of alignment on the left side and two of my teeth on the bottom have fallen backwards
My gums bleed when brushing and I seem to be producing excessive saliva and it is all very uncomfortable and looks awful
Can you please advise?
I understand there is a procedure where the gums are actually lifted, the gums treated and teeth are put right whilst the gums are lifted – is there such a procedure available?

Dear Dr Moore,

I was just wondering if treatments like the Inman Aligner are applicable when you’ve still got baby teeth? I had a small operation a few years ago to remove an adult canine which never came through; consequently I’ve still got the original baby tooth sat in its place. I’m assuming I’d have to have that removed but do you think they would they be able to close the gap or put in a bridge or something?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dr. Hughes,

I am 22 years old and I still have three baby teeth in my mouth, and as a result of this my grown up teeth has now grown in behind them crooked. I want to get this corrected so what procedure would you suggest for this problem?
