Are veneers fitted one or two at a time or all at once?

Monday, September 26th, 2011
Q.

I think I would benefit from some veneers. Can you tell me whether it is possible to have veneers fitted one or two at a time, rather than all at once, or would that a) make it difficult to fit further veneers to neighbouring teeth, and b) will they look odd against my existing teeth? My main problem is that a front lower tooth has become crooked and there is a gap between 2 of my teeth. Thank you very much doctor

Should I go to a dentist or orthodontist to close my tooth gap?

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello

I have been considering getting invisalign for a while now and have decided to finally go for it. Briefly, my history is that i have a natural gap between my two front teeth as well as quite widely spaced lower teetth. The gap between the front teeth was covered up by veneers done by my dentist, who was not a cosmetic specialist. A few years later i’m not 100% happy with my teeth particularly the size of the veneers as well as the gaps and protrusion. I’ve been to see an orthodontist as well as an invisalign specialist / cosmetic dentist. Orthodontist thinks fixed braces are best and the specialist says invisalign will solve the issue. I am torn between going with the orthodontist or dentist. Invisalign is my preference, and my question is whether orthodontic experience should be a pre-requisite in the person i choose.
Thanks

i’m 17 and i have multiple gaps in my teeth is there anything you would recommend?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi i’m 17 and i have multiple gaps in my teeth that are right next to each other my teeth are straight and i have a small overbite(which isn’t a problem), there are 11 gaps in my teeth, 5 in the top teeth and 6 in the bottom, the 4 in the top are the ones I am more worried about. the ones in the top range from 1mm to 3.5mm and they are all next to each other and the bottom gaps are smaller except for a 2.5mm gap between the premolar and canine tooth. My orthodontist didn’t recommend braces because he said there was a high chance of gaps coming straight back and i can’t afford to spend a lot of money on something that isn’t right for me. Is there anything you would recommend i do or look into? I’ve heard of so many things like veneers of all different kinds, invisalign, orthordill and other teeth bands, also i know that some of these treatments are expensive is there anyway i could reduce the cost? i know that it isn’t very likely but, I’ve been wanting to do something about my teeth since i was 14 and i knew the gaps weren’t going away. The main reason i want to do this now is because i’m going to university next year and i would really love to have a more confident smile when meeting new people and making new friends, i dont want to labeled the silent or shy girl because I keep my mouth shut because I’m not shy but my teeth hold me back and have been for several years. Any advice will be REALLY appreciated.

Hello there, I was just wondering what can I do about my gap teeth. I have had my gap ( front teeth) since I was a child and its stopped me from smiling I can’t stand it. when I was a little girl i wanted to cut between my gap to see if i could close it myself but obviously that wasn’t a good idea i’m so desperate i’m a grown woman now and i still don’t smile due to this gap in my teeth. and i was wondering how much it cost. i can’t afford a very expensive treatment thank you very much

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

hi I have had a gap inbetween my front two teeth since they came through I find them them really uncomfortable to smile with and just dont feel happy in myself because I know they are there. I have asked many dentists I have had if I can get them filled in or something or other and all of them have said to me I cant. from what I can see on this website that you can truthfly and a few people I know have had this procedure.
Also what would the cost be for this.
