Q.
Dear Expert, I am 21 years old. Since I was a child I had been unhappy about my teeth. I have gaps between them – 3 in the upper jaw and 5 in the lower jaw, all in the front. In addition to this, my teeth in the lower jaw are very small. My parents or dentists I had visited in the past were never concerned as my teeth were always very healthy, and I was also told that braces would not help as my teeth are either too small or moving them would cause more serious problems. After many years of ignoring the problem, I feel that I should no longer be afraid to smile widely and would like to do something about this. In addition to filling the gaps, I would like to whiten my teeth. Could you please let me know what I should start from, what kind of procedure may be involved and what are the potential (approximate) costs?
