My dentist will not remove my upper tooth that crosses over another. I hate smiling! What can I do?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Q.
One of my upper front teeth crosses over the other and I hate smiling!! When I spoke to my dentist he said there is nothing he can do with it and refuses to take it out and replace it with an implant. What could I expect to pay for an implant and a whitening treatment to the rest of my teeth from yourselves (or is this not possible?),

Some of my teeth have moved back because I stopped wearing my retainers after braces treatment. Would I need braces again?

Monday, November 1st, 2010
Q.
Hello Andrew, Hope all has been well, I’ve worn braces for 1 year back in 2004 and then were given retainers, I wore them time to time but was a bit of rebel when it came down to them. Years passed and I realised one of my upper front teeth are moving forward and there’s a gap on the side of it next to another tooth (one next to the canine, how the gap is like a slit) And it’s the same situation below aswell, although this gap is bigger. I’m hoping to get them pushed back but does this mean I need to wear braces again? Or would I be given special sort of retainers that push them back and keep them in place? Hope to hear from you soon, Kind regards,
A.

Is there any braces that could move my two front teeth forward, and would it be possible to have a removable brace?

Q.
Hi i have very good teeth with no fillings most are really straight apart from my front two middle top ones just bellow my nose they tend to slant inwards so therefore looks like my two side teeth stick out slightly, i would love to get them pushed forward so there in line with the rest of my teeth, is there any type of brace that i could wear that would correct this problem, also would a removable brace be an option rather than permanent. Thanks for your help kind regards ,
