Hi there, my teeth are all nice and straight except for my two front teeth which are quite on the wonky side and give me a goofy look. I was wondering what would be the best procedure to straighten them? I’m a bit dubious about braces as people I know who have had them have ended up with poor quality teeth afterwards and I’m 25 so may look a bit stupid with braces! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
When my mother was living I had what my dentist use to call the perfect smile. My mother use to make sure I took extra good care of my teeth. She use to always say your smile is the first thing people see so you should always care about your smile. When she passed away I completely stopped caring for my teeth. I barely brushed them and I hardly ever flossed, I never liked doing that anyway as my mom use to do that. But I was wondering If I have really rotten teeth and some that have broken off, is it still possible for me to have a beautiful smile again like I use to when I was Fourteen.
I’m 34 and very depressed about my receding gums. I had my gums stretched on the NHS and I feel like this has done nothing as my gums are now non-existent and my teeth are yellow, what do you suggest. I’ve given up hope and I’ve got no confidence. Do you think I need false teeth. I’m thinking about re-mortgaging to find funds to get my teeth sorted. Doesn’t help that I’m single so I feel like I’m going to be on my own forever now as my teeth look awful. Someone thought I was in my forties the other day. I reckon it’s because my teeth make me look a lot older. Feel sorry for myself as most of my mates smoke and abuse themselves yet they have nice pink healthy gums and white teeth to be proud of. I hope you can help me sort this out.
Hello Dr Gambroudes! I really want to ask you a question. I’m a teenager and I have a broken tooth. It’s my first time that this has happened in my entire life. It hurts only sometimes when I eat, but not that often. I’m afraid to remove that bad part of the tooth from a dentist with those tools they use because I know it’s painful. Is there any home remedy or natural substance that with help me remove that part and then go to the dentist to fill it? Thanks a lot.
During pregnancy I had horrible case of calcium deficiency, my teeth shifted and I suffered significant bone loss. I would like to know if your six week smile program would be ideal for me since it is a lot gentler in regards to the movement of teeth below the gum line.
My lower central incisors are slightly twisted, the lateral incisors have moved slightly behind the central incisors which have resulted in lower crowding.
My upper central incisors have moved forward and my gum line has elevated a bit, also I have developed a space between them. My right lateral incisor and canine have shifted slighted behind each other. My upper right first and second pre-molars were extracted. Also I have filings in both my upper first molars.
Please advise if anything can be done to rectify my smile. Regards.
Hi, I’m 27 years old and have big teeth, my top two front teeth are also very forward! Making me look goofy if you like. I hate having my photo taken because they stick out so much and I have really have had enough as it makes me very depressed. I did have a brace that you could take in and out when I was 12 year old but I didn’t wear it! What can be done about this problem? A rough price? Is there some kind of payment plan I can get as this would be preferred.
Hi, Dr Patel. I currently have this gap between my two front teeth and it’s really getting me down as I got bullied a lot in school when I was younger for it and it’s just really knocked my confidence. I have been to my dentist and mentioned it a lot of times and she has just changed the subject which isn’t helpful. It’s not very big at all, but I really want something done about it sooner rather than later as a want to go on to a modelling career, please help me, any advise would be much appreciated as this problem has gone on too long for me. Thank you very much, it would be great to hear from you and obtain some advice.
Please Dr Patel, I am 16 years old and I had one of my incisors removed at the age of 12 because I had a tooth which was not growing under the gum but above it. Up until now that tooth has not grown and I only have two incisors on my upper jaw. One out of the two, which I mentioned earlier and the other one removed and has refused to grow. I also have gaps in between my teeth. Please doctor I really need your help with this, it’s really been hard for me to smile in the past four years because I don’t want people to get disgusted as that is how disgusting I feel my dentition currently is. Thank you, I hope you can provide me with any information or advice.
Hello,
I’m looking for some advice really. When I was young I was head-butted in the chin which forced my bottom teeth into my top front teeth and cracked away all the edge of my teeth leaving them rough, uneven and sensitive.
I also have vertical cracks running along all my teeth and they are extremely sensitive to hot and cold even simply breathing in through my mouth causes me pain and discomfort.
The shape of some of my top teeth are also bothering me my incisors are extremely round and chipped and my canines are very sharp and pointy looking.
I have a feeling that this could be down to my hatred of calcium (milk) when growing up as a child and feel that they may not have developed properly.
Any advice?
