What is the best treatments for crowded teeth?

Q. Dear Mr. Patel Let me allow that I introduce my problem.I am 21 and my cief complaint is my upper and lower crowding. Info – Relationship of frontal teeth: Overjet: 2-3mm Overbite 2mm, Midlines upper is OK lower 1,5mm to the left, Dental crowding severe, Crossbite UR2-LR3. Next year year I’ll study at London Business School and I think that this is good opportunity to correct my teeths aswell. I want to ask you is in this case possible to correct teeths with Veneers, removable braces or Invisaglin braces? Because I realy want fast solution and I think that veneers are the best but on the other hand I am also prepared for longer treatment and wear braces but only which I mention in upper text. I just want to hear your advice because everywhere offer me just Damonbraces and similar braces which I realy do not want to wear because they do not fit my lifestyle. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I am also prepared to send you photos of my teeths,smile,x-ray scans if this help you to give me advice. 

A. Veneers can create a lovely smile but the downside is your teeth have to cut down, this means they will need a lifetime of treatment. As your teeth are already crooked it would be very difficult to create a nice smile with veneers without removing a lot of natural tooth. My preferred treatment would be orthodontics, invisalign is the most discreet, 6 month smiles is the quickest and damon braces are very good for very crowed mouths.

I HAVE OVERCROWED TEETH BUT TWO BACK UPPER MOLARS ARE GONE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY TEETH ARE SHIFTING FORWARD AND WITH THAT I ALSO HAVE TMJ AND ESPECIALLY THE LEFT FRONT TOOTH IS PULLING OVER TO THE OTHER FRONT TOOTH AND IT IS QUITE PAINFUL, LIKE IF PLYERS WERE PULLING AT IT ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. IT IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. MOST DENTISTS DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE SO MUCH DISCOMFORT. i ALSO HAVE SOME ARTHRITIS AND POSSIBLY FIBROMYALGIA. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD MUCH COSMETIC CARE WITH MY HEALTH INSURANCE, SO I AM ALMOST WILLING TO LET THE TOOTH GO, DESPITE HEALTHY GUMS AND THE TEETH ARE ALL HEALTHY, BUT WITH THIS CONSTANT PULLING AND PAIN, IT SURE DOES NOT SEEN SO. IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD REMOVE SOME OF THE TEETH AND PROBALY HAVE INPLANTS, BUT MOST LIKELY I WILL HAVE TO HAVE A PARTIAL DENTURE. IT SURE WOULD BEAT HAVING NO FRON TOOTH AT ALL.

PLEASE RESPOND, THANK YOU, VALERIE
