Im 25 and i have overlapping teeth what can i do?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hello When I was 16 I wore a retainer to sort out my over bite and my front 2 top teeth which cross over (I was a thumb sucker as a child). My treatment was never finished. No, at 25yrs my main concern is my front two top teeth. One overlaps the other, the overlapping tooth get bashed quite a bit and the corner is slowly chipping/wearing away. Apparently I also push my tongue forward onto these two teeth every time I swallow (tongue thrusting) wish is slowly making it worse. I am looking to get my front teeth straightened but am not sure what sort of treatment this would involve and at what cost. Please could you advise on the best affordable solutions for me. I look forward to your reply Many Thanks,

I lost teeth in a accident and i want to have my smile back

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
I had an accident and lost my 6 upper teeth and 6 lower teeth and had implants put in. I am 60 years old, blond, elegant modern and trim and would like to have a nice bright smile as I used to have. Here in Switzerland they are very conservative and as temporary teeth they have installed in my mouth some greenish teeth and I look like a smiling corpse! – my question is: what are the colours of teeth you would use in London for a bright smile if you do not have to adapt the colour to other teeth? Thank you so much for your kind answer.

Im 50 and I have crooked teeth can u suggest what to do?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
My upper four front teeth are quite big and as a result one incisor has been squeezed backwards and the other one infront and it is protruding in a very embarrassing way. The two lower teeth have been squeezed to the front, the incisors pushed virtually to the back and barely visible and the canines almost taking the incisors positions. I am an adult over 50 years and as you can imagine, wire braces would not be on my shopping list. Please advise me the best way forward and how long it would be to get my teeth straightened and how much it would cost. And do you have a payment plan?

Should i replace the crown which doesnt match with other teeth?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
I had a crown replaced on one of my front teeth. The color did not match and they gave me a bleaching tube and trays. I was told to try to whiten the teeth around it to match the color. I have gotten through one tube of bleaching gel and I can still notice a difference. Should I continue to try to whiten or should I have them replace the tooth?

How can Underbite be treated advice?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, im turning 30 this year, and all my life my slight underbite has bothered me, and this year ive decided to get something done with it before i reach 30. i have attended an orthodontist in the past and he told me i have a class 3 underbite,and surgery was the option. but as i have a child with special needs and needs a lot of attention, its a route i just cant go down. Would love to know, would getting all my teeth removed and replaced with false teeth be an option, or veneers placed over the top teeth to bring them slightly foward. or can i get a brace to push out my top teeth. Would be willing to lose all my teeth and replace them with false ones , just for a better appearance. please please, can you let me know if any of the options above are possible. I wont consider surgery. thank you for you time Can email you pics of my teeth if you wish.
