Im 50 and I have crooked teeth can u suggest what to do?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
My upper four front teeth are quite big and as a result one incisor has been squeezed backwards and the other one infront and it is protruding in a very embarrassing way. The two lower teeth have been squeezed to the front, the incisors pushed virtually to the back and barely visible and the canines almost taking the incisors positions. I am an adult over 50 years and as you can imagine, wire braces would not be on my shopping list. Please advise me the best way forward and how long it would be to get my teeth straightened and how much it would cost. And do you have a payment plan?

A.
I would suggest that you have … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I was just very recently diagnosed to have TMJ disorder whoch I knew I had for more than years now! You see it took me a long while before a realize the change that this TMJ is causing me.
