My Teeth Have Begun To Shift Alignment Since My Mid-Twenties. What Will Sort This Out?

Wednesday, December 11th, 2013
Q.

I have always had quite cosmetic teeth. However, since my mid-twenties, I have noticed that my two front teeth seem to be slowly shifting to the right. The middle of one of my front teeth is now aligned with the middle of my lips.

Another tooth has become crooked and is now slightly covering one of my front teeth. I was told that this tooth can be fixed with braces.

I have a genetic overbite which I am happy with. However, I am concerned about the shifting of my two front teeth. They are still perfectly straight – just moving to the right. Is this likely to get worse over time? Is there any treatment that I can have to move them back to the centre of my mouth and keep them there?

Many thanks.

I Have Severely Crooked Teeth Due To A Childhood Illness. I’m Looking For A Competent Orthodontist. Can You Recommend One?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi Marcus.

I am after a specialist advice if I may please.

The dentist I went to earlier in the year has agreed to refer me to an orthodontist, unfortunately I haven’t been contacted for a consultation.

I have severely crooked teeth due to childhood illness resulting in my baby teeth falling out before my adult teeth were formed. My teeth in general require quite a lot of work (without being overly dramatic).

Can you please direct me to a competent professional who will be able to help?

Thank you.

I Want Straight And Attractive Teeth, What Is The Best Option For Me?

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013
Q.

Hi there, Dr Shaffie. I have had to google the names of each tooth so please bare with me haha. Basically, my upper right lateral incisor grew in behind the front row and so I had it removed, but now both my upper central incisor, left lateral incisor and both canine teeth are all crooked. My question is what would be my best option here and at what price would you estimate? Basically I would like to end up with 6 upper front teeth (including the tooth that was removed) looking straight and attractive as possible, thank you. I really hope you can get back to me.

I Need To Know How I Can Overcome My Fear Of The Dentist, As I’ve Neglected My Oral Health?

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Mark. My teeth are a bit of a mess partially due to my own fault and having a massive fear of dentists, and so I have been avoiding them for years (I even got rid of an abscess using raw garlic) however now I want to try and fix the damage as much as possible. I have lost four teeth their at the back so you can’t see them. My top two front teeth slightly turn inwards and I have been contemplating veneers? I am still really terrified of the dentist! How can I overcome this problem? Thank you for your time.

I Used To Be A Smoker And Need My Teeth Straightened, But I’d Struggle To Pay For Veneers. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am only 22 years old and getting very depressed because of the look of my teeth. I am ashamed to say I was a smoker and didn’t eat very healthy in the past. I have now stopped smoking and eating better but my teeth are still terrible because of my bad habits in the past. They’re not as white as they were and my bottom teeth are not straight and all different shapes. I hate too look at them and I hate to smile at anyone. It’s making my life hell and has taken all of my confidence away because of my wrong choices in the past. It’s even affected my personal life because myself esteem was so low I could never smile near my ex-boyfriend. I can never afford that type of money for veneers, can you please advise me on what I can do, Thank you for reading, do please get back to me.

My Teeth Have Moved Back, Can You Recommend A Six Month Smile Practice?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I had full braces to the top and bottom of my teeth when I was about 13, however, I still did not like the shape of my teeth and so being a silly teenager I did not wear the retainer. My teeth (mainly the top 4 largest teeth) moved back crooked quickly and I’ve lived with ugly teeth for years. I’m now 30 years old and I am still very paranoid about smiling. Other than cosmetically, I have relatively good teeth, no fillings and quite white. I have suffered with gum disease in the past, partly to do with medication I was on and partly as I just hate my teeth so didn’t look after them enough and as there over crowded it built up but they are ok now.

I have read about the ‘6 month smile’ and would love to have it if possible.
Can you recommend anywhere in Birmingham that offers this? And do you know how much it would roughly cost to straighten my front top 4 teeth?

Many Thanks.

What Are The Cheapest Tooth Straightening Procedures?

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi, what is the cheapest way for teeth straightening? My teeth are crooked and it’s affect my diet, social interactions and confidence. I was quoted £3500 for the initial treatment of clear braces and an abstraction. As I also have a crowded mouth and more teeth coming through still. I would like to know if there is a cheaper alternative? For example metal braces. Really want some advice as I feel like all the dentists I have seen are trying to give me the best on offer but I don’t have the funds. Thanks for your time.

Should I Have Cerec Treatment?

Thursday, April 4th, 2013
Q.

Should I have Cerec treatment done on the top four or six teeth, won’t this make the rest of my teeth look discoloured? Does one have to get the whole of the top and bottom teeth done?
Also how long do they last for and what is the price?
My teeth are not crooked, pretty straight with a small gap at the front which I would like closed up. I am now running of of things to type but I can’t send this unless I write 400 words which is pretty daft?

Thanks
