I have always had slightly crooked teeth
Q. Hi, I have always had slightly crooked teeth and probably should have had braces at a younger age. Now I am 22 I have had some problems with my teeth over the past few years. They have become more and more crowded, which feels like the gap between the left and right teeth is becoming smaller. This has also affected my speech slightly. One of my front bottom teeth is around 5mm further back then the rest, which rubs against my tongue and has caused ulcers from time to time. I have also suffered from painful teeth. At my age how long would a problem like this take to solve and what solution do you recommend?
A. Orthodontics and / or veneers might be suitable, however you need a clinical exam and a chat with a dentist to find the best option for you
The time taken and cost depends on what you decide with the dentist. Veneers are quick ( a couple of visits in a couple of weeks) but you might need to drill down some healthy teeth. Orthodontics takes longer 6months up to 18months
Our practice offers a free initial assesment with a dentist at which you can discuss your options.
