My teeth are crooked can anything be done to my incisors or canines.

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
When i was 11 i had a brace, it was,to pull my 4 top incisors out as they were not curved, but straight, making my canines look like fangs.This was a removable brace, with an extra piece at night that went round my head.Anyway, it didnt work and nothing else was done, i dont know why. It has bothered me ever since. i am almost 40 now, and i put my hand over my mouth when i laugh and try not to show my teeth. Can anything be done, either to my incisors or canines..ie filing them as they look longer than my insisors, making it look worse. Thank you for your time.

Ive been told i need get my canines removed and after 6 months get the implant is it correct?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have gum recession and due to a prior orthodontic surgery (in which the roots of my 2 canines were cut off) my canines are loose. I have been told that I should get these removed, have gum grafting and also some bone grafting above the canines then after 6 months get the implants put in (will have a false tooth plate in mean time). My periodontist assures me that with this treatment I should get my smile back and the implants will last as long as a regular tooth. My query is how much would this cost in UK (i am an expat overseas and have been quoted £8000 for the above) but I am from Uk and will be returning shortly I would get alloplastic grafting here but have been told auto is the way to go is this true? Is the 6 months necessary?

My upper canine teeth are irregularly large as well as out in place would veneers correct it?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
I am considering cosmetic dentistry to correct some of the problems I see in the mirror. The main problem, and question, is about my upper canine teeth. They both seem irregularly large as well as out of place. The gum line is especially high with these teeth, and they are both a bit crooked. I don’t particularly want to undergo two years of braces like my siblings have. Would veneers correct a problem like this?

A.
Veneers could correct this but… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My adult canines are squint and pointing at top front teeth is this a serious problem?

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’m 15 years old and still have my top baby canines. Having recently been to the dentist, i was giving an X-ray to locate the adult canines. After looking at the X-ray we discovered that my adult canines are extremely squint and are pointing in the direction of my top front teeth. My dentist is reffering me to the Orthodontist to see what can be done about this. I was just wondering how serious this is, and how they would be planning to fix the problem? Could my dentist have stopped this happening by removing the baby canines before now?

A.
The best thing would be to exp… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Our dentist has removed a healthy canine tooth from my 12 year old son can anything be done

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Q.
I was horrified to find that our dentist removed a healthy canine tooth from my 12 year old son. He assured my husband that, although healthy, the tooth was a baby tooth, which was preventing the adult canine pushing through. However, the tooth pulled out was a second tooth and matched the second canine on the other side. The tooth pushing through is a large molar and I am seriously concerned that my son will now be left with a lopsided smile. Can anything be done to correct this error without resorting to implant.

A.
I doubt very much that the den… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
