Q.
Hi there, I have big front teeth which are very square looking. I hate smiling because i feel they really don’t suit my face and look awful. What would be the best way to sort this problem? Do you think my dentist could file down the sides of the teeth and then use a brace to restraighten them?

Can u please advice on crooked teeth cause the adjacent teeth to move and become loose?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Q.
A couple of years ago i got braces on only my upper two front teeth. And now one tooth is moving a little bit. I think it may be one of my other teeth causing it to move, because my other teeth are still crooked. Also, sometimes when i press down on the tooth it moves. Not like its loose, just like underneath. Like its trying to click into place. This is the only tooth that I’m having a problem with. If you could help me that would be awesome.

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.
