Is it possible to resize my front teeth without making my face look odd?

Friday, September 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have very large front teeth, since childhood and now in adulthood I get bullied and get called bugs bunny or a horse. I hate my teeth and want to alter their size and appearance, is this possible without making my face look odd? I have had orthodontic treatment and therefore i am not goofy, it is just the size and shape of my teeth that make me look like a horse. To make matters worse one of my front teeth had died and I have been told that a root canal is not possible on it and it is very yellow and getting darker. When i go to sleep, my top lip only covers half of my teeth and i wake up with a noticible white line across the two teeth and i can only prevent this if I wear my retaining brace however I do not want to wear this forever. I would appreciate any advice yours sincerely

i have protruding teeth how can i get them aligned?

Monday, September 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Caplan, I sent a question about 3 weeks ago and haven’t seen a reply yet so I’m not sure if you received e-mail – apologies if you have received it twice. I am 48 years old and I lost one of my front teeth when I was about 13 years old, I had a fall and the dentist removed the broken tooth and fitted a false one on a pallet which I hated. About 17 years ago I had a bridge fitted which now needs attention as it is starting to wear badly. However my problem is that I have protruding front teeth that I would dearly love to have straightened (they are not so bad and they are not crooked in any way – I think the problem was caused with me having a dummy as a child) Am I right in thinking I cannot have an invisible brace fitted when I have a bridge? If not, what do you think my best option would be where I could have an invisible brace fitted? Can I have the bridge removed and have an implant fitted and a brace fitted then? I do hope you can help me – despite my age, my confidence is rock bottom because of this problem and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time by making an appointment. Many thanks in advance. Many thanks

I got fitted with veneers but they are sore and painful

Monday, September 14th, 2009
Q.
I wanted a pretty smile so I had my upper 4 front teeth fitted with veneers a little over a year now. The veneers were way to long and bulky. I looked like Buggs Bunny and talked with a hisp. The dentist and I have yelled at each other. He said he will not replace them but keeps grinding them down. I have had pain and throbbing ever since, especially at night (I do wear a night guard because I clench my teeth). The pain at night keeps me awake. I cannot lay on my back or my side without feeling like my front teeth are being pushed around. I cannot get releif. The teeth look OK now but the throbbing at night won’t go away. What do you suggest? I really depressed about this.

Im unhappy with my old veneers can i replace them?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, my situation is this.. I have just had new veneers fitted (2nd time). The reason for the replacements was to have whiter teeth for my forthcoming wedding. I wanted the shape copied exactly so they looked the same but a nice white colour. I am very unhappy however with the new veneers as, although colour is lovely the centrals are too short and I feel they dont look right in my face, they are not “me”. I paid top-end for these and Im so disappointed. My dentist says if I want these 2 changed I will have to pay again. As such I would just prefer to go to someone else. Would it be possible for you to do 2 new veneers to match for me a little longer as I desire or would this not work with it being different lab, etc? Many thanks

Are veneers the quick fix to close gaps?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Q.
Below is the Q&A from yesterday. I wondered whether you could clarify things for me. You said veneers are the quick fix, does that mean that you would always expect to close all gaps and never use veneers or does the bite determine this? I am aware I would need a retainer for a couple of years but what I don’t want is for my teeth to move to fill the gaps. Is it possible to use something behind the veneers to fill the gap to prevent the movement? Q. I am 41 and have had fixed braces for nearly 2 years after having had 4 teeth removed. My lower jaw is fine but I have been told that I will be left with gaps on my upper jaw behind my canines due to the size and shape of my teeth. Is this normal? It has been suggested that I now have 4 veneers to hide the gaps, is there any other alternative? Will the veneers stop my teeth from moving? A. The veneers would be a quick way of reducing the size of the gaps instead of the brace which can often take 1-2 years to close the gaps sufficiently. They don’t stop the teeth moving so a new retainer would be needed after they are fitted

It is possible to use a bonded… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
