    Ok I have being to an orthodontist to get a retainer to stop my bottom teeth from moving and dertriorating any further and seems to be doing the job , but not as straight as they were before the Wisdom came up.

    I have never had braces, my teeth are fairly good and look after them well. but When I was young I hit my front tooth off the swimming pool ground and the result of this left a chip on the bottom of my tooth, what can be done to fix this? should I go through all the hassel and fill it? its not noticeable until your up close..

    My sencond question is I have my front right tooth when looking at it is slighty overlapping the other front tooth and the rest of my teeth are in line but this tooth is just a pain in the arse, the other thing is its noticeable and I need to know what can be done etc. my orthodontist said it's not bad because your teeth are generally good, but hell I want it fixed? what do ye reckon anyone have simualar problems?

    As for the bottom tooth you seem to now the answer yourself....get a small filling or leave it alone. If you get a filling remember that you are committed to having it filled and refilled ever 5-7 years.

    On the top....your orthodontist could proberly correct it if you tell them that it really bothers you. Maybe you could get a crown or venner but without seeing it is hard to give you any proper options.
