Can braces fix my teeth?

Q. Hi, I am very self concious about my crooked teeth. I had a brace when I was about 17 (now 35) but my teeth have moved an awful lot since then (wisdom teeth came through) so feel I’m back to square one. The problem, when I was 17, was I had a ‘fang’ (as I called it) that grew sort of in front of another tooth at the front, it was quite high above the line of the rest of my teeth. The tooth at the back was extracted and the fang was brought down with the brace. Now it looks horrible again, it sits further forward than the rest of my teeth and also I feel the gum has receeded slightly (its sensitive if anything sweet gets around the top of the tooth). I’m worried it will need extracting?? I’m so sorry to ramble on, I would love to get my teeth straightened again because I’ve been so unhappy for years. I really hope your able to reassure me. Many Thanks.,
A. hi its quite common to have orthodontic relapse such as yours.yes you will need another course of orthodontics but there are systems such as 6 month smiles that do this quickly.the sensitivity is likely something minor .you are welcome to a consult at any of our clinicsS3Dental.co.uk
