How to correct crossbite without braces?

Think Long-Term
Mar 29, 2017

While it may be possible to do what the other doctor suggests, that is far from the ideal treatment. Having a crown myself in the front due to trauma, I can tell you from experience that it is not a 1 time fix and your’re done. That tooth is out of position so the crown/veneer that you place will be not in a good position, it will always be prone to fracture or breaking and it will be very bulking. Also, as you age your natural tooth color will change and your veneers…

I was wondering if porcelain veneers would be an option for my large overbite?

Veneers Not the Answer
Mar 28, 2017

I agree with the previous answer and that you need orthodontics. The problem is not the teeth themselves but the bite and position of the teeth. You never want to put veneers or crowns on healthy teeth because they you will have to deal with a lifetime of bulky crowns, the colors changing or possibly them breaking. Natural is the way to go for sure. But her suggestion of six months smiles is not a good one. Six Month Smiles is not a good treatment option for anyone. six month…

Be up front with Your Orthodontist
Mar 24, 2017

I would just go into the consult with your orthodontist and be very upfront with what you are expecting. There are many different treatment options and I think you should be able to work something out. If you made them aware of your financial situation and that you really just want to move 1 or 2 small things they should be able to help you.
Hope you are able to get what you need

SmileDirectClub: I’m afraid my teeth are to far gone. Would this work for me?

No one is a good Candidate for Smile Direct Club
Mar 24, 2017

You are definitely a great candidate for orthodontic treatment but under the supervision and care of an orthodontist. Based upon your exam, x-rays and diagnosis your bite and teeth can be fixed. Smile Direct Club does clear aligner treatment which works for more minor treatment but they don’t use IPR/tooth thinning, attachments, x-rays and have no in treatment supervision. Best to seek help from a professional and get the treatment done right.

Do I need braces before veneers?

Deep bite concerns
Mar 24, 2017

I would definitely recommend getting some orthodontic treatment prior to getting any crowns or veneers. Putting the teeth in the proper position not only looks better but also helps the teeth to function better over time. As a result, if the teeth are put into a better position the final veneers and crowns would most likely be in a better position for function and have a better long-term stability.
As far as your deep bite, I would recommend braces over clear aligners (such as…

What dental treatment should I go through? I have braces and broken frontal tooth and many cavities.

Multiple Issues
Mar 24, 2017

I would first go get a thorough evaluation with an orthodontist to plan out the course of treatment. I see that you have active appliances in and from what I can see you also have active cavities. You will definitely want to get those cavities filled before moving on with any further orthodontic treatment. An orthodontist will be able to direct the course of treatment and what final restorations may be needed after the teeth are moved into their proper position. Typically, all…

Unable to chew with Invisalign attachments. Is this normal?

Call Orthodontist and Have it Checked
Mar 24, 2017

I would definitely give your orthodontist a call and have it looked at. Typically, the attachments are designed and placed by your orthodontist so they won’t come into contact with the opposing teeth when your bite is fully closed but something could have gone wrong. Or it could have something to do with excess material being there that shouldn’t be there. Either way I would get it looked at now before progressing onto further trays just to be on the safe side.
