How do I fix a tooth that is longer than the rest of my teeth?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Q.

Hi

My letf canine tooth is crooked and longer than the rest of my teeth. Would a dentist be able to fix this without braces ie, could they file it down so its not so visable?

Thanks

I regret not having braces when I was 16 and now that I am an adult I’m not sure what is my best option. Orthodonics or veneers?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Q.

When i was 16 i was offered a brace which i, stupidy, declined and now i am regretting it as when i recently went to the dentist to ask about having a bace put on she informed me that my teeth had set in place and were very strong so the likely-hood of my teeth staying in place when the brace was taken off was very small. I am very very concious of my teeth being crooked (even though i have been assured many times that they are “not that bad”) and rarely smile with my teeth on show. I have been looking into veneers as these seem like the best option for me. from what i have told you would you say that veneers would be the route i should take? and how much would i be looking at paying for them? Thank you.

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Q.

Hi there, im feeling a little self concious about my teeth i had a brace fitted when i was younger age of 12 the orthodontist that i saw was going back to germany where she was from and i was worried my treatment may of been a little rushed but i thought nothing of it at the time i was given a retainer an wore it for several years following given instructions but recently i have started to feel uncomfortable smiling as i feel like my two front teeth protrude at an angle and stick out there is a definite improvement from previously not having a brace but i am still worried. what do you think would be the best thing to do. Many Thanks.

My teeth are already straight after 6 months of brace treatment, will they need to stay on for the full 2 years?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Q.

My orthodntist does not speak english very well so i have trouble asking him questions. I had braces put on 6 months ago to correct 2 eye teeth that protruded slightly ( i was too self conscious of them) they have been straight for 2 months now – so will i need to have them on for the full 2 years? what is the least time frame i could hope for?

I’m 19 – am I entitled to a free brace?

Monday, March 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Andrew, I would like to know if it’s possible to get braces for free at my age. I’m 19 and live in South Wales. My teeth are quite crooked and have gaps, it really knocks my confidence but I can’t afford the thousands of pounds it costs to have braces. Is there any other option?

Thanks,

Have a protruding tooth but also suffer from mouth ulcers, what do you recommend?

Monday, March 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I have an upper canine tooth which protrudes from my outer gum. I’m 33 now, when I was a teenager I wore a removeable brace which started to create a small gap behind it. I did and still do suffer from severe mouth ulcers so the thought of going down a fixed brace route is not something that I want to do. Plus at this current stage in my life, finances …I cannot afford to pay 3 to 5000 on a brace. Be so so grateful if you could perhaps talk me through ‘all’ possible options, along with consultation fees who I should see at your surgery etc. I dont think I have ever smiled properly and its depressing ! Thank you very much for your help,
