Would like to know the cause of my discoloured teeth?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I am 50 years old and I had braces fitted to my upper teeth just over two & half months ago. Since having the brace fitted I have noticed that one of my front teeth is going grey at the top near the gum. What is the cause of this? Can I do anything to stop it or can it be treated once the braces come off?

Suggest me on getting perfectly straight teeth

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi Doctor, A few years ago I had a ostiotomy on my lower jaw bring the jaw fowards so my lower front teeth were up against my upper front teeth which gave a much better side on profile and better smile. However, this has resulted in my lower front teeth being rather prominent and so I am contemplating adding veneer to the upper front teeth to compensate because I don’t think they are long enough. How do you decide how long front teeth should be in comparison with lower ones ? I know each case is different but my upper front teeth are not perfectly straight so I don’t want to make a big mistake. Advice would be welcome..

It really depends on how much … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Uneven front teeth needs to be reshaped

Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Q.
I recently went to the dentist and she shaved down one of my teeth so now one of my 2 front teeth is smaller than the other. It isn’t noticeable unless I point it out , but my teeth look different and it is very upsetting. I have a gap between my 2 front teeth I want to have fixed , so my question is, if I get braces or Invisalign to close the gap, can it bring down the slighter shorter tooth so my teeth look the same length again? I would like to avoid having the tooth that was not touched shorterend to repair my dentists mistakes and I am going to start consulting with other dentists/orthodontists for advice. Help. Thank you in advance
