I really want to straighten a gap in my teeth

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Q.
I really want to straighten a gap in my teeth which has bothered me for years, I heard about invisalign from my dentist but he quoted me a price in the region of 4000 pounds which is not something I can afford. A clinic running a special offer have quoted less than half that but want me to pay up front. Is this a bit dodgey? Would I be better to save and go with someone who is charging the normal price rather than gamble on the cheaper option? This is still a massive amount of money for me.

my canine tooth hasnt been able to fully come down

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
Hiya, Im 26, my teeth are crowded,especially on the right hand side, my canine tooth hasnt been able to fully come down and has pushed the tooth next to it some way behind my front tooth, for some reason it has started to feel a little uncomfortable, the rest of my teeth are straight-ish they dont bother me but i am getting quite self concious about the canine/(fang look) i have looked into invisalign, but it seems very very expensive, is there a way of sorting out the canine tooth so it can grow down properly with out paying for invisalign ? also is it possible to just move a few teeth with invisalign ? would this make it cheaper or is this just not possible ? Thankyou for your time 🙂

Hi im 19 years old and have previously had orthodontic treatment

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
Hi, im 19 years old, and have previously had orthodontic treatment. However, I have a couple of problems. Firstly, my front two teeth are very big compared to my other teeth and my mouth. Is there any way to fix this? Also, my smile arch is too narrow, so when I smile, you can hardly see the molars. Being only 19, I’m not able to pay the astronomical prices that I’ve seen from many cosmetic practices. Would you be able to advise me? Thank you

I had a brace when I was younger which straightened my teeth out

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
I had a brace when I was younger which pretty much straightened my teeth out, my top teeth anyway. But the front four teeth at the top are quite oversized compared to the rest which leaves me with a goofy grin when I smile. I don’t mind it but I would like to have them filed/contoured to make a straight smile as apart from this they are in good shape and I hate feeling embarrassed when I smile. I haven’t heard much about this method so I wanted to ask if it is possible and also what kind of price this attracts as it seems like quite a simple technique but I don’t want to be surprised later on! Many thanks for your advice.
