Is there any kind of dental or cosmetic work to improve my facial features?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi i am a 29 year old woman and was born with a cleft palate which i had repaired at 11 months, i also had a lot of orthodontic work done from the age of 13 to 18 years, although there was a big difference to my teeth, my top teeth still sit just inside my bottom teeth and i feel this affects my facial features i am just wondering if there is any other kind of dental or cosmetic work i could have done to improve this and if so how much would it cost on the NHS or private

Could you give some details on Lumineers?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
HI, I have a gap in my two front teeth and want to close it. I have been to the dentist who advises invisalign or veeners. I didnt want the veeners I dont want to have my teeth enamel removed and invisalign is quite expensive and I am not sure whether I want to go through that. I then came accross lumineers and got very excited as I thought thats for me!!No invasive procedure great. What do you think to them do they look nice and are they safe.Are they really reversable.Or would you just go for direct bonding I have some already now that needs redoing could it just be touched up and not have to be drilled off.
