    Hi all

    Just a question I need to ask. Im female in my late 20's. The problem is I have two very pronounced front teeth (Large, front angled, gaped). Sometimes it doesnt bother me and other times it can completely shatter my confidence.

    I suppose my question is, does any know of any/or have any experience in getting these cosmetically fixed or replaced?

    I ask cosmetically because I dont know if I see paying a dentist huge$ to make the problem worse for 2-3 years just to make them slightly better. Also because im nearly 30 and I hate to be silly but feel a bit old for braces.

    My best guess is this solution doesnt safely exist or is crazy expensive.

    Thanks

    In fairness i think a dentist would be the only route to go. I cant see how a surgeon would fix your teeth? Why not try a clear brace or clear train-tracks?

    Even veneers are done by dentists.

    Can't think of any dangerous options :confused: Ask your dentist for your choices, veneers are usually a straightforward option, as are braces wired behind your teeth, or clear trays to move them. I had braces for my gaps/overlaps, all but one tooth is still in place 4 years on, and is likely to stay the same for next 5-10 according to my orthodontist. Definitly worth the money if it's a big issue to your confidence.

    hi there
    this is an easy one
    either remove the teeth if they are extremely out of line with the others
    or
    get veneers
    which ever is best for you your orthodontist will recommend for you
    whichever is recommended will leave perfect results.
    for 2 front teeth
    in ireland
    implants roughly 5,000
    veneers roughly 1,300
    enjoy
    :)
