I was told i needed braces as a child, I have crooked teeth I want a straight row of pearly whites, what are my options and how much will it cost ?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
As a child I was told I would need braces, but for this I needed to have several teeth removed as I have too many teeth. This frightened me when I was young and I refused. Over the years I have always been concious about my smile and I try not to smile as much as possible so that I can hide my teeth. Now that I am 21 I feel that this behaviour is foolish and yet I still wont smile! My teeth overlap and my canines are so prominant that I look like a vampire. I want to have a perfectly straight row of pearly whites, but I\’m unsure of what treatments I would need. I dont want to have adult braces that have to be in for years. I would like to get the whole thing over and done with asap so I can actually smile with pride to all my friends and family. What can I do to acheive this and how much will it cost me? I would like to do this as close to home as possible.

There are 2 main ways to achie… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
