My girlfriend underwent canine substitution as treatment for congenital missing maxillary lateral incisors. Functionally they are fine but they still look very much like candies. I have spoken to somedentists who suggest moving all her teeth back to create a space for implants reversing all the work she had done in adolecence which is unacceptable to us. Having done some research into it I have discovered dentist who wrote a paper on managing this condition called kokich who clearly shows that tooth reshaping is an option (this together with a whole host of academic literature of the same). Can you confirm if this is an option and who in Hampshire might undertake such a procedure
Thank

Hello, i am 20 years old, my two front teeth arent in line 1 tooth is higher in my gum and sticks out in front of all my teeth, also some of my other teeth arent in line either, i smile with my mouth closed and i get really embarrased when i meet new people, i was wondering if it would be possible to have cosmetic dentisty as i really dont want to have braces at my age, i would just like to be able to smile without being emmbarassed, if you could give me some advice that would be great,
