My teeth don’t show when I smile and my top tooth needs braces

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have two questions:
1) The tooth adjacent to my middle top two teeth is at an angle and allows air though when I trying to say ‘s’ and as a result makes it difficult for me to speak correctly. I am 42 so can this tooth be straightened with a brace or would it require a crown or are there other alternatives?2) When smiling my teeth don’t show, I think I have short gums. Can anything be done so that my teeth show when I smile? Many thanks.

Q.
Hello i would like some advice regarding replacing crowns i had 4 crowns fitted about 20 years ago i had no problems with them , but i had new ones fitted about 5 years ago due to receding gums,after about 6 months one of the crowns seemed to be dropping, i was told this was the root of the tooth. it has continued to drop, i changed dentists and was told i should not have been given new crowns as i have a gum disease i would have to have a plate. i have changed dentists again and was told i need new crowns i am worried the tooth will drop again would i be wasting my money on crowns or was the other dentist right and i should have a plate?
