Smoking Has Stained My Already Crooked Teeth, What Treatments Are There For Me?

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
Q.

hi dr I wanted to ask how much will it cost all together to fix my teeth which is stained really bad from cigarettes, I have been smoking for a long time maybe 15 years or more and it is horrible to have a yellow tint on your teeth. Also I think that the bottom row needs to be straightened? I may need braces for the bottom row,basically I need a full teeth whitening or I think you call it bleaching? I am in a bad way over my teeth and think that lots of treatment is needed all over, am not really show about filling but I would like the full top and bottom fixed please and whatever else that needs to be fixed which i dont know about my teeth… thank you

I Have A Misplaced Midline, Will My Dentist Allow Me To Get Braces?

Monday, March 4th, 2013
Q.

I’m 14 turning 15, and my teeth are pretty straight for the most part but my insisors are a bit crooked but they look straight. My problem is that I have a misplaced midline because I sucked my thumbs for 11 years. I just noticed a couple weeks ago. I measured it and its about 3.5mm off. It also is very irritating to bite because the lip also feels weird. My mom pointed out that my face is now a bit assymetrical. This is getting to me a little bit and I don’t want it to cause confidence or negative dental health issues in the future. I would rather get it sorted now. Will my dentist allow me to get braces?? If not what other treatment options are available to me? Braces are my preferred choice and as I said having them now when I am younger suits me better, I couldn’t stand having them when I am an adult.

My teeth are healthy but crooked and misaligned, how can I fix this?

Thursday, February 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

I would like to know the best method and cheapest way to fix my teeth. My two front teeth are overlapping badly, and this is causing overcrowding in my mouth. My teeth are not straight , some are crooked on my top row of teeth because of this overcrowding. Some of my teeth are slightly eroded on the bottom row due to acid erosion. My teeth are not aligned so there is discomfort when I bite and I also have some discolouring. I do not want to damage my teeth as they are at present fairly healthy but I want my teeth to be straight and the damage sorted out/ covered up. I was wondering which is the best course of treatment? How long does it last, and finally what would be the total cost of the treatments?

Thanks

Should I Get Invisalign?

Thursday, January 24th, 2013
Q.

A very warm hello to you Dr. Moore,

I am in need of help regarding what would be the best possible treatment for a missing tooth/gap at the front of my teeth. I also need my teeth straightened and was thinking about Invisalign, are there any other treatments which would be best to straighten teeth? I guess I don’t want such a long treatment. I just have a missing tooth at the front and two others that were pulled but apart from that they rest are fine but need straightening.

I appreciate your time and help,

Thank you kindly, I look forward to reading your response.

My Teeth Aren’t Straight. What Should I Do?

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew Moore,  I hope I have come to the right place. My teeth are slightly not straight, not severely crooked but enough for it to be noticeable. It is mainly my front tooth thats out of line and its playing on my mind a lot and I am getting really self conscious about it I suppose. I don’t particularly like to go dentist often and try and avoid it as long as possible. I tend to not smile that much. What would you recommend doing for my teeth and would you also advise on the possible cost of such a treatment. Thank you very much,  any advice would really help if you could just email me back when possible, it would be much appreciated. I look forward to your response, Thank you

Can My Daughter Get Braces On The NHS If She Is Over 18?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor, My daughter is born 1993 and desperately needs to have braces fitted. She is bullied at school for her bad teeth and it is affecting her badly. She is currently in sixth form and studying her A levels, which is stressful enough as it is without the added stress of her anxiety over the appearance of her teeth which is only worsened by the bullying. She fears if her teeth aren’t fixed soon then the bullying will continue at university and for the rest of her life.  I had once tried to get her the dates for braces which I did get but then I moved to a different place and I could not attend the appointment.
Please advise me! Do you think, her being in full time education still and her having severely crooked teeth,if she could get an exception from NHS .
I am a single parent and cannot afford to buy expensive braces.  Please guide Many Thanks, I look forward to hearing your response.

I want to get a beautiful, white smile but I worry about the cost. Can you give me a quote?

Friday, January 4th, 2013
Q.

To be able to get my upper and the lower teeth done for Lumineer treatment, how much would the total cost be, I have quite a few crooked teeth, I have one crown at the back. All my life I hated my teeth and i have always wanted beautuful white straight teeth like the celebrities…friends dont think my teeth are that bad but I don’t believe them abd more than ever I’m very determined to get them done and at the same time I am worrued about the cost too? Which is why I’d very much appreciate a quote from you or perhaps you can recommend someone more local to me. would you be able to recommend a good dentist to carry out the proceedure in North London please?

I’m looking for braces that won’t affect my appearance, what would you suggest?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I am desperate to get braces, however, I only have two teeth out of place but they have a big effect on my smile as they are at the front. They are the two teeth next to my two front big teeth, the problem is they are slightly further back causing my canines to look like fangs. My bottom teeth aren’t crooked. I was wondering if the treatment would be a shorter amount of time as there isn’t much to move and what type of brace would be best for me? I am a teenager and would want the shortest amount of time and least changing to my appearance :-)I am still in school and don’t want anything too noticeable. Many thanks for you help.
