What is the best way to straighten fangs?

April 8th, 2013
Q.

Hello there do you know the best way to straighten tooth fangs out, or drag them down or whatever you do to them? I have had this problem for a few years now and I just think it makes my smile look like something out of the predator movies and I would like to change that-obviously! 🙂 What is your recommended brace treatment for this problem and how long is lit likely to take to see results? I don’t mind have fixed braces, but if there is a more discreet brace that can do the job i would be very interested to hear about it! thank you for your time

Would Invisalign or the Inman aligner be able to fix my canine teeth that stick out slightly and are rotated?

Q.

Hi, I would like to correct my teeth. Althought the front 6 teeth are straight, the teeth behind disappear intot he back of my mouth. When I smeile, you only see the front teeth. My canine teeth are stick out slightly and are rotated. I want to correct this, I have been to a local dentist for a consultation. He suggested Inman Aligners (as that’s what the practice offers) althogh he did state that there was a chance they would not move the teeth as much as I would like. Would Invisalign do the job? I don’t mind having full old fashioned braces if it will move them enough but I’m finding less Dentists offering this. Please can you help Raha?

Should I have baby teeth removed and get implants or have braces?

January 4th, 2012
Q.

Hi, When I was a teenager, my canines grew over the top of my baby teeth. In an ill-advised decision, I had the adult canines removed. 10 years on, i am trying to decide on the best option to fix this problem as the baby teeth are going to fall out eventually. Either way i have decided to get orthodontics to straighten my teeth as top and bottom are crooked. I have seen three orthodontists. They said i basically have 2 options. 1: remove the baby teeth and get implants or 2: remove the baby teeth and move the molars around to close the gap. I think I would prefer option 2 as it is the cheaper and appears to be better in the long term. My question is if it is possible to expect a normal looking smile by pulling the molars around and can the 1st molar be shaped to resemble a canine? Do you have any recommendations on which option might be preferable?
