I cant have braces as my roots are too small what are the alternatives?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I am interested in finding out how i can get teeth straightening done, when i was in high school i was told i cannot have braces as my roots are too small, i am 27 years old now and would really like to know what alternatives there are for me, i have been researching on dentist treatments abroad as they appear to be more cost effective, I also have a problem with my gums, they were different shapes and sized before, I have visited my local dentist about this and the gums have been controlled but the difference in their size remains. If i am honest i am not keen on veneers but perhaps other methods that do not take so long. I am planning on getting married mid 2010 and i hate my smile, i really want some advice on sorting out my gums and teeth sooner rather then later. I hope you can help. Thank you

The gums has never grown over the bridge so its receeding advice

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q.
I had 2 crowns fitted on my 2 front teeth about 20 years ago, over the years they were forever falling out and i had to have them replaced, the last time they fell out, which was 2 years ago, i went to the dentist who said that he couldnt replace one of them because one of the roots had rotted and he didnt have anything for the crown to hold on to so he advised i have a bridge, it was a bridge with the 2 teeth together and they were attached onto the tooth of which the root was still ok, they look ok but on the tooth where there is no root the gum has never grown over the bridge so its receeding and looking black, is there any advice you could give me, thanks
