Hello. I’m a 17 year old girl and I have about 5 or 6 gaps on my top teeth as well as on the bottom set. I wanted to know the best treatment to solve them. Some of my teeth on the top set are weirdly shaped so I don’t think braces will solve it. In terms of size I can fit my tongue between all the gaps on the top set. Please help me, I want to become a dental therapist/hygienist and I want to have the best teeth possible. Thank you.
Hi,
After a few consultations with my dentist/orthodontist, he has recommended straightening my two front, upper teeth by either Invisalign or Lingual braces (I refuse to have ‘traintracks’ or even ceramic braces).
My lower teeth are fine, but he has suggested having Invisalign/Lingual braces on them as well, so that they still align with my top teeth – he said that it may cause problems down the line.
Is this normal? I have no reason to distrust him, it’s just he has now said the cost will be between £5000 – £6000!
Do you think I should get a second opinion on this? I want straight teeth, but I doubt very much whether I will be able to afford it.
Thanks.
