I had braces when I was 16 and had them off at 18

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q.
Hello! I had braces when I was 16 and had them off at 18. I am now 20 and my teeth have moved slightly and the no longer are as perfect as they were which is very depressing since I went through countless appointments and discomfort to get them that way! Is there a way that this can be solved without drastic cost or prolonged discomfort? Thank you

I hate my crooked smile and misaligned teeth

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Q.
I’m 19/20. I absolutely HATE my smile, I have crowded crooked teeth and NEED to get them fixed. I’m terrified of braces and honestly don’t know if I would have the patience to stick with them for 2/3 years! I visited a cosmetic dentist before and he said that I would need 6 veneers on top and 5 on the bottom. However, only 6 of the teeth in my whole mouth are misaligned. I am fine with the colour of my teeth (although they could be a bit whiter!) and the size of them but I can’t live with the crookedness of them anymore!!! Obviously with my age the main issue of dentistry is the money, are there any payment plans that you are aware of? does your surgery support this method of payment? do you have any suggestions or recomendations for me? Thanks so so much

A.
Obviously we would need to see… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a phobia of the dentist and have bucked teeth

Thursday, August 7th, 2008
Q.
I have protruding (bucked) teeth and 4 teeth which have severly decayed away. I have until recently had a phobia of dentists but have undergone therapy. I would like a quick solution to my teeth problem especially my two front bucked teeth what is the best method for quick results. I take it having them removed and replacing them some how. I have watched makeover programmes and it facinates me how these results can be achieved. Thanks for taking the time to consider the question and where would be the best place to achieve the results I require.

my top teeth are misaligned and bottom teeth crooked would invisalign work

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I have top teeth which are out of alignment due to having one tooth removed on the right hand side when I was a child – consequently, my teeth have shifted to the right by about 7 mm resulting in one of my two top teeth being right in the centre, rather than side by side. I also have crooked bottom teeth. please could you let me know if invisalign would be a solution – also would I have to have teeth removed to correct the mis-alignment.many thanks.
