What is the best treatments for crowded teeth?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Mr. Patel Let me allow that I introduce my problem.I am 21 and my cief complaint is my upper and lower crowding. Info – Relationship of frontal teeth: Overjet: 2-3mm Overbite 2mm, Midlines upper is OK lower 1,5mm to the left, Dental crowding severe, Crossbite UR2-LR3. Next year year I’ll study at London Business School and I think that this is good opportunity to correct my teeths aswell. I want to ask you is in this case possible to correct teeths with Veneers, removable braces or Invisaglin braces? Because I realy want fast solution and I think that veneers are the best but on the other hand I am also prepared for longer treatment and wear braces but only which I mention in upper text. I just want to hear your advice because everywhere offer me just Damonbraces and similar braces which I realy do not want to wear because they do not fit my lifestyle. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I am also prepared to send you photos of my teeths,smile,x-ray scans if this help you to give me advice.

Q.
Hi im 30 years old and my upper and lower eye teeth on the left side sort of stick out, i assume there wasnt room for them when they came through so my top one is higher up then the rest of my teeth. Im not worried about the bottom as no one sees those teeth but it is getting me don when ever i look at pictures and see a horrid smile. What is the best option for me? Im not to keen on the idea of braces as im self conscious enough but maybe there is a better type of brace you could suggest than the traditional metal train tracks or would veneers be any good?
