What treatment is suitable for canines that are forward of other teeth?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
My bottom row of teeth is almost perfectly straight, but on the the top row the canines (I think) are further forward than my other teeth. Also, due to an accident when I was 11 (I am now 23) two of my teeth are chipped and one of the front ones has the bottom section missing and is capped. As such, I don’t know if it would be worth having my teeth straightened if you could still see the caps, or what my other options would be? Please advise? Much appreciated.,

Can I get treatment for tooth gaps on the NHS?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hello I have spacious gaps between my upper teeth and also quite a big overbite. According to an orthodonist I recently saw, he said invisalign may work for me, but I am border-line surgical in terms of my overbite. This is worrying to me as it seems it may not just be a cosmetic problem anymore, is there any way I can get this done on the NHS? If not, what options do I have?,
A.
You should ask the orthodontis… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can injured front teeth be straightened and whitened?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hello, i am a 16 year old who had a dental injury while playing football 2 years ago. This involved my front left tooth falling straight out and my front right being extreamely loose. I had an operation to put the tooth back in and root canal treatment also. I have recently found out my front right now needs root treatment as its very sensitive to hot and cold. However, cut to the point, i was wondering if my front teeth can be straightened in any way, my dentist has told me braces could speed up the rate of resortion. He has also told me that by the time i am 40 it will need taking out, this was shocking news to me. What would be the best solution to straightening and is my dentist just being pessimistic?. Thanks. P.S Since my front teeth may soon discolour due to the treatment, what would be the best method of whitening?.,
