Question 1

i am 18 years old , can i get rid of the space between front teeth by using braces or is it sexy?

Accepted Answer

Diastema's are sexy?: The space between front teeth is technically called a diastema. This space was accentuated in the fashion industry by a very sexy model and became her signature "look".  Several stars also use this "look" and the public have accepted it. Orthodontics can be used to close the space but only you can determine if it will effect your look. Photographic images can be edited to show you how it will look.

Question 2

hello, i had braces for 5 years and got brown spots on my two front teeth at 14. i am 23 now and still have them. how do i get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Dentist: Get advice from your dentist. There should be a way of resolving this discoloration. All the best.

Question 3

how do i get rid of the gaps in my teeth without braces? i have them in my front 6 teeth?

Accepted Answer

Clear braces, Veneer: You can do clear braces like clear correct.  Or you can do two veneers on the front teeth.

Question 4

what can i get besides braces to close a gap in my front teeth?

Accepted Answer

Veneers or Bonding: If your occlusion or bite is within normal limits and the distance of the gap won't compromise the aesthetic appearance of the cosmetic work,  you can be a candidate for  bonding or veneers.

Question 5

i have an overbite, open bite, and a gap in between my two front teeth. will i have to get braces?

Accepted Answer

See orthodontist: An overbite is normal for most mouths. If you want to eliminate the open bite and the gap between your front teeth, then yes you would probably need braces. Ask your dentist or get a referral to an orthodontist fro a consultation on what you need and what you would like your mouth to look like.

Question 6

i have to get four front teeth extracted before i get braces. i'm self conscious, so how long will it take before the gaps close completely w/ braces?

Accepted Answer

Treatment plan: Speak with the orthodontist prior to treatment so you know exactly what to expect and if any provisional appliances would be needed.

Question 7

can i get braces even if my gaps are small and on my side front teeth  but  they are noticable ?

Accepted Answer

Ortho Consult: See an Orthodontist and also consult your own General Dentist to see what's the best option to satisfy your esthetic requirements.

Question 8

i have a tooth gap in my front teeth and my premolars and molars too. my orthodontist says i need to get braces for 2 years and a frenectomy after that! just getting a second opinion. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Good Care takes time: If you want to have an excellent result, many times it may take time. Many people can do "accelerated orthodontics" that may take approximately 6 months. It may only address the appearance of your teeth. Proper alignment of the teeth and the bite may take longer. Also be aware that there may be a habit that is causing your gaps. For example, a tongue thrust (habit during swallowing and speaking)

Question 9

can braces get rid of the gap between my teeth?

Accepted Answer

Usually : Braces are the most common way to move teeth and remove spaces. Because a number of variables are involved and spaces vary, your orthodontist will help you in evaluating your teeth and tell you what is possible. Treatment times will vary based on the severity and position of spacing, so be sure to tell your specialist your goals for your teeth so they can help you best.

Question 10

what can i do to get rid of gaps in teeth without braces?

Accepted Answer

Veneers or Bonding: But those may not be the best options for you. Consider invisalign, which uses a series of plastic trays to move your teeth. Patients with gaps are perfect candidates for the invisalign system.
