My teeth don’t show when I smile and my top tooth needs braces

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have two questions:
1) The tooth adjacent to my middle top two teeth is at an angle and allows air though when I trying to say ‘s’ and as a result makes it difficult for me to speak correctly. I am 42 so can this tooth be straightened with a brace or would it require a crown or are there other alternatives?2) When smiling my teeth don’t show, I think I have short gums. Can anything be done so that my teeth show when I smile? Many thanks.

Mother has discoloured long front teeth with a gap can this be fixed

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Q.
My mother in law has two very prominent top front teeth. They are very long and discolored and there is a substantial gap in between them. She would like this to be fixed, as it prohibits her from smiling in photos and it does nothing for her confidence. She has been to her own dentist, who said he could either remove the teeth and give her a plate, or lower the gum. She would like to know if there are more cosmetic options, rather than resorting to drastic measures. Can you advise her?

A.
In principle you can apply a v… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
