Thursday, March 3rd, 2011Is a brace the best option for protruding teeth?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Q.
my teeth are genually ok, i just have concern that the two front teeth are beginning to stick out. i had a brace on in my early teens, is there anything else you could recommand rather than a brace – as its looking to be rather expensive, considering the risk they may move again in the future. thank you
What should I do about gum recession?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Q.
Hi,
I have some gum recession behind my lower front two teeth, probably from 10 years of smoking. I have since given up and endeavour to keep my teeth in good health. Both teeth have some slight movement in them, one a very small amount and the other less than a millimetre, but concerning nonetheless. Can one get gum grafting in the UK and would this help?
Many thanks,

Would it be safe to have veneers fitted to cover my discoloured teeth?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Q.
Hi there,
I’m 21 & have very good strong teeth & never had a histrory of any filings.
I had a brace when I was younger which has straightened my teeth out.
My only problem is that I am very paranoid about the colour of my teeth , there not white nor yellow just kind of in the middle but I have thought about having veneers in a while.
Do you think it would be advisable for me to have them done? And roughly how much would it cost to have all my teeth veneered?
Thanks
Should I get my tooth reshaped or have orthodontic treatment to improve my smile?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Q.
Hi,
I was looking for a bit of advice. I live in Belfast and had braces when I was about 14. After getting the braces removed my teeth moved again back to a slight overbite and crookedness which I think might have been because of a lack of a retainer. I am 23 now and looking for a straighter smile. Would braces work for me with already having teeth removed for previous brace? Also I heard about teeth and gum reshaping and wondered if that would be beneficial to me. Basically I am a bit confused and wondering if an orthodontist is the way to go or is a tooth and gum reshaping option better. Thank you for any help you can provide
