Q.
Hi, at 29 I have been advised that I have very good teeth, they are strong I have no problems at all and they are all in very good condition with no fillings. However from a young age I was advised that I had too many teeth, which until now although my teeth aren’t particularly straight on top, I was not too bothered because they are in such good condition and I was worried that a brace would damage my teeth, however over the last 6 months or so my wisdom teeth have started to come through causing an overlap of my two front teeth, and increasing discomfort. I realise that I may have to have some form of orthodontic treatment, but I am very nervous about damaging my teeth by having a brace, however I would like to have straight teeth. I would be grateful therefore if you could please advise of the options available and whether my worries are founded. Many thanks in advance.,
