do i need to remove my milk teeth and adult teeth and have them replaced?
Q. Hi doctor, i have had this problem for years. I am from Singapore and I am 21 years old. I have 2 milk teeth and it didnt drop so now the adult teeth grew behind in at the top jaw making me look like a vampire. Its funny but it kinda hurt my tongue when I sleep. Its too late to remove my 2 front milk teeth otherwise I will look like I lost 2 teeth. What do u recommend? I wanted braces but I wana know if there are faster way of solving this other than braces.I thought of extracting the 2 milk teeth and adult teeth and replacing it but Im not sure whether my actions are recommended.Im gona get married soon and I wana look my best,thats why I really dont wana get braces.Thank you doctor. DO reply me. Really need help.
A. Sorry to here you are having problems there are a number of methods that could help you, it is however impossible to give you definite answers without seeing you. Orthodontics would probably be the best first approach to try to straighten your teeth, but will take some time. Cosmetically your smile might be improved by implants or porcelain veneers. However this could be a more radical / invasive option but would be quicker. Feel free to email me some photos or contact my practice and maybe I can be of more help.
