New to this, but need help

[Tokyorose]

I have been reading about the Inman aligner and wonder if it might help me.

I am a 41 year old who always had a great big smile til about 10 years ago, when one of my teeth (my top right next to the front teeth) began to stick out. It was around the same time that my wisdom teeth came down. I have read that many don't think that this can cause other teeth to move but mine did, whether it was coincidence or not.

Now I have lost so much confidence and hate smiling, I have recently been looking at some old photo's and I used to smile all the time. I want to do that again, with straight teeth. Money is a bit of a problem so the cheapest way to do this would be best.

On another note, my bottom teeth are a problem too, but you don't see them so much, after I lost my milk teeth the bottom canine never came through, again this happened when I was an adult and pushed the tooth next to the front one out of place, the dentist took that tooth out as he said the canine would push into its place. However the canine erupted right at the bottom of my gum and hasn't grown up to the top of the others, so it therefore looks as though I have lost a tooth when I laugh. I hate it.

The top ones are the most important, but any advice would be most helpful.

I live in Uttoxeter which is between Derby and Stoke on Trent.

Many thanks

Hi Jane

I am sorry to hear you feel this way about your smile. I completely understand how you feel as I was very self conscious about my smile too until I had braces.

It is very difficult to say what are the best treatment options for you without carrying out a consultation. The dentist needs to carry out a full mouth check-up, assess the health of your teeth and gums, look at your profile, assess the amount of crowding or spacing. Only after this, can the dentist tell you what options you have and what the costs would be.

I therefore recommend you arrange a consultation with a reputable dentist who will then be able to help you find the best treatment option.

hope this helps

best of luck
