Ive crooked teeth and my front teeth over laps either side should I use the bands?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Basically here is my dilemma…i have a gap between my two front teeth and i would like it fixed… This is the problem i have a big fear of wire and needles in my mouth this means in the past braces have been difficult. I have some teeth effect bands but i am unsure of whether to use them… I have done much research and the three main problems that dentists have are that they can cause gaps either side of the teeth in question, they have been known to cause gum irritation and also that they are not a permanent solution. I have crooked teeth and my two front teeth over lap either side so the gaps arent a problem, also i would only use them durin the day between meals, this means i could be sure they do not slip near my gums. Lastly i realise that this diy dentistry would only be short term. I am basically asking what do you think for my circmstances? Should i use the bands? thanks.

My front tooth are shorter than the rest what are my option brace or veneers?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Q.
Hi. My front tooth and the tooth next to it are a bit shorter than the rest of my teeth. A friend of mine who is training as a dental technician suggested that a brace might be able to sort this out to pull the tooth down. Is this true? If not, would I have to get veneers? Also would it be best to have teether whitened before or after treatment? Thank you for your help.

A.
Either option might work. If y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My top row of teeth are slightly inwards how could i get it fixed

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I wondered what the best way I could fix these cosmetic problems. Preferably without braces. My top row of teeth go slightly inwards and my two front teeth are face a little towards each other. I also have a very small gap on each side between my first and second premolars. i should also say i still have 4 baby teeth around the back on each side, and there are no big teeth to grow in. is there a plate i could wear that would fix all this? No one has ever noticed and no dentist has ever recommended anything, so i wanted to get another opinion.

A.
You could try veneers or maybe… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
