    HI

    Very difficult to give you a price without looking at the mouth.

    There are a variety of ways which might help
    1. orthodontics - invisable braces,inman alligner, six months ortho or conventional orthodontics.
    2. possibly veeners
    3. or a combination of the above.

    I would recommend initialy to have a consultation with a good cosmetic dentist, to outline your options.

    Thanks for the reply Dr Sepehrara,

    I have come back from my dentist and he said that he can shave some off of the bottom of my teeth EEK!

    is this a painful procedure, and typically how much can be taken off of the length, or does it depend on the tooth itself?

    I appreciate i shouldve asked my dentist this when i went but i get so nervous in there that i like to just get in and get out! (You dentists are scary people )

    Hi

    As I don't know what exactly the treatment plan is, it is very difficult for me to reply to your question.

    If only a small fraction of enamel is removed, then you won't feel anything and should not need any local anaesthetic.

    If you are having more reduction, ie for a veneer, then you may require some local anaesthetic as it can be a bit sensitive.

    Your dentist will be the best at answering your query


    Best of Luck

    Hi

    My advice would be to speak to your dentist about your concerns as he or she is carrying out the treatment. It would not be right for me to give advice in your case without examining the mouth.
