How does braces work on my small peg tooth?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Q.
Hiya, im nearly 16 years of age and i am due to get my braces fited in about 3weeks time. the reason in which i am getting the braces is because i have a small peg tooth at the front of my teeth in which i am really self concious about and my dentist said that in order to build the tooth up she is going to have more room to do so; however there are other issues. i am very concerned about getting braces as most ofmy friends have already had them removed and i am the only one. when the brace is preparing room for the peg tooth to be built up am i going to have a larger gap there on show or can my dentist build this tooth up as the ortadontic treatment progresses? and how exactly does the building up of a tooth work?

One of my tooth is pushed back, is it right to have veneers at this situation

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
I wore a fixed brace two years ago and since then one tooth had pushed back just a little. I went to an orthadontist who quoted a price of £2,800 for the treatment. do you think this is a reasonable quotation? i want to emphasise that my tooth hasn’t moved that much!! also i was talking to a friend who had some veneers in and thought the world of them. is this a situation where i could possibly consider just a veneer on the tooth to give the impression that it’s straight?

A.
Yes, this IS an option. Veneer… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My front teeth are slightly overlaps should i go for veneer or to get braces

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr, My front 4 teeth slightly overlap and have holes in the middle, one tooth is slightly chipped. I would love to have perfectly straight teeth without the holes and chips. I asked my dentist and she said I would need 4 Veneers but I also could go to an orthodontist to get these teeth straightened and then filling them would be no problem and it might be better. I’m not sure what is the best thing to do – get braces and then end up getting veneers also, taking more time and money or just getting veneers now to solve all my problems but in the long run what would the benefits be am I better to try to preserve my natural teeth as long as possible? Also my daugther is 10 and her teeth are very crooked bottom and top. She still has some baby teeht and her eye teeth have not come down yet – is it too early to start orthodontic treatment?

A.
To start with, I would strongl… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My permanent canine tooth is firmly embedded in the gums how can i fix it?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’m having a cosmetic issue- I still have one of my canine baby teeth which remains fairly strong and hasnt fallen off. It’s presence had prevented the earlier tooth (2nd from the front)from properly aligning into position, hence it remains slightly projected outward at an angle. My dentist says the xray of my gums show that the permanent canine tooth that was supposed to come down is firmly embedded in the gums above and is never going to pose a problem for me. However I’m very unhappy and self conscious of my smile and would like to know what I can do to have that dream smile..

The best option is to look at … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
