Basically my teeth are fine but the upper front 2 are sticking out

Monday, December 15th, 2008
Q.
Hi Basically my teeth are fine but the upper front 2 are sticking out a little, I’ve been to see my orthodontist and he suggested I need one extraction and a brace putting on, I want to know how much this would cost on average because I got a quote of £1500 which is steep for me 🙁 Would removable braces be cheaper?? Kind Regards.

my third tooth is twisted

Friday, December 12th, 2008
Q.
Hi I was hoping you could give me an idea of what the best way of sorting out my smile would be and maybe a rough idea of how much it would cost. When i was younger my third tooth i think its called the canine grew twisted and closer to the front than it should have because of this my second tooth never grew so now i have one tooth in the middle of where two teeth should be with gaps on both sides. i don’t mind if my rogue tooth needed to be removed for the best results. But i would like to be able to smile properly as quickly and cheaply as possible as it is really beginning to get me down. Thank you in advance for your help & advice I look forward to hearing from you.

Q.
Im 17, i had ceramic put on recently. My orthodontic said I would only need to use them for 6 months. I only have a couple spacing problems. Is it possible that i only need them for 6 months when I keep hearing that the average time is 2 years or so.

One of my upper incisors B didn’t grow It is genetics

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, One of my upper incisors (B) didn’t grow. It is genetics. My sister don’t have one of the incisors (B) too. They move her teeth so the big gap size of a tooth dissapeared. In my case they put a temporary porcelain tooth which is glued with some special glue to my incisor (A) and canin. I was supposed to have a surgery where they would give me implant. But I don’t want to have implant. I am just 22 years old and I don’t want to have fake tooth all my life. I would like to have my teeth moved, so the space, where is porcelain tooth now, will be gone. They did this with my sisters teeth so it is possible isn’t it? It doesn/t matter that the gap is big as a tooth? I would like to ask you if it can be done and if it can be done with Invisalign. Thank You very much

I’ve always had a gummy smile

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Q.
I don’t know how to start these. :/ But, I’ve always had a gummy smile, I’ve always been made fun of because of it. I had braces on for five years, and yet, I still have a gap on one side of my two front teeth. I never even smile that much in pictures, because I fear embarrassment. I believe my smile is controllable, but why tolerate that and not get it corrected? I absolutely despise my gummy smile and also my poor enamel, which show white marks at the tip of my two front teeth. I just wish I could afford corrective gum surgery and porcelain veneers. I was wonder what the cost would be after insurance? Or at least an estimated cost. If not that what else should I do? Plus, I feel as if my teeth are already long and the gummy smile correction will make them even longer? or would you shave the teeth down? Thank you so much for taking time and reading my question. I just wish for the impossible.

I had braces when I was 16 and had them off at 18

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q.
Hello! I had braces when I was 16 and had them off at 18. I am now 20 and my teeth have moved slightly and the no longer are as perfect as they were which is very depressing since I went through countless appointments and discomfort to get them that way! Is there a way that this can be solved without drastic cost or prolonged discomfort? Thank you

I was considering getting Lumineers

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi I was considering getting Lumineers as I feel really that I lack confidence due to the current condition of my teeth. Looking on the internet, I couldn’t find any information on the cost of this or where I could get it done. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Is it really expensive? Because I am 18 years old and am going to University next year, I’m not sure I could afford really expensive treatment, but I really want something to change the way my teeth look, especially my bottom ones which are really ground down and mishaped and jaggy, they are all also quite discoloured and yellow-ish. Also in a unrelated question, I have had braces in the last year, which have since been taken off. The orthodontist applied a metal bar like thing on the back of my top teeth to keep them from separating , and said that I dont need to go back to him , and that the bar will come off itself. Is this true and how long does it take, as I think it is causing a metallic taste in my mouth. Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m 21 years old and I definitely dont want any braces

Friday, November 28th, 2008
Q.
Hey, I’m 21 years old and I definitely dont want any braces. But, I have this one tooth between my incisor and canine which is completely crooked. It looks like I have a gap in my top half set, and then when you look close enough there is a tooth sitting at a 45 degree angle between two other teeth. Do you think if I had my widsom tooth in the top right corner of my mouth removed, my crooked tooth would straighten up? And if so, how long would it take? Thanks
