Will braces help improve my sister’s smile and speech?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

My sister is 16. i think she has short gums for her whole row of upper teeth. when she smiles you can hardly see her teeth and even when she smiles her hardest you cant see her gums. also, her front upper teeth are very slanted outwards. i think thats why she speaks with a lisp. she doesnt have a short tongue. she got braces recently. i was wondering whether it will help her with her speech and whether her gums will be okay after that?

A.
This may well do

Can you advise whether shaving my son’s teeth is good in the long run because he is having braces?

Re: SMILE 6 month brace. My son has severe lower overcrowding and a lower centreline shift to the right.We were advised that using this method of straightening, the dentist would shave between the teeth rather than extract teeth.Would shaving not damage or harm the health of my son’s teeth?Can you advise considering long term health of his teeth?

Hi
Three of my front lower teeth are severely out of line/over crowded. My Dentist has advised that a brace would not solve the problem. What are the other options available to me?
