Is six months braces is suitable or bridges for crowded teeth?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have severe overcrowding of my upper 4 front teeth. Recently i went to a dentist who suggested the six month brace, however i went to another dentist and she recommended that i have my four teeth extracted and a bridge put in place. This dentist said that the six month smile does not work on teeth which are severley crowded. I’m so confused, im not sure what to believe. I find i just get everyone building my hopes up and then getting blown out the window the next minute! (sorry just had to have a lil rant!) i would appreciate your opinion as to whether six month smile braces are suitable for severe crowded teeth and if not is bridging the next option? Many thanks

Q.
Hi, I am 15 and have suffered from amelogenesis imperfecta my whole life.
