How much would it cost to have my teeth straightened, due to thumb sucking?

Friday, March 26th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, i don’t know if you can help but all my life i have been a thumbsucker. i recieved braces when i was 13 and quit sucking my thumb. After my brace i had a retainer for about a year, i was told i no longer needed to wear the retainer. my teeth began to return to their original state so i began to suck my thumb again as i was upset the brace didn’t work. Now at 17 i have quit my thumb again and it feels as though my teeth are moving around, and the gap between my teeth seems to be closing. what would be the best option to get my teeth looking straight and ‘perfect’ again and approximatly how much would it cost? sorry for the long story, any help would be appriciated.,

How long will it be to fix overbite with retainer?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi, i got retainers for overbite in August, and wore them everyday, day and night for about a month, then i stopped after they were tightened because it was too painful, but i decided that im going to wear them again. How long will i have to wear them for my overbite to be cured? Also, i have a gap in my front teeth, and there is no metal/brace on my retainer for that, so i think i am getting fixed braces after my overbite is cured. How long till the gap closes up? Thank you.,
