Is there any other way?


Question:
Im 14. And my teeth, i've been noticing are slowly moving apart from eachother. It never was like this before. And i was wanting to get braces to fix them up. Is there any other way to get them to stick back together other than having to get braces?

Answers:
It's not a quick solution, but you'll be growing more molars in so your teeth might push forward then. Also, after you're 18 or so, the dentist could do a procedure that caps your teeth, making the caps a little bigger than your natural teeth are, filling in the spaces. They can't do this until your teeth have stopped growing though, so you have a few years to wait. Just a note, that might not make any difference to you. But Jewel (the singer) said in an interview once that she wanted to have her one crooked tooth fixed, and her fans booed her and wrote her begging her not to do it. They loved her look, because she didn't look like everything other barbie doll pop star. And when Leanne Rhymes got her teeth fixed so she didn't have a gap anymore, she lost the one thing that made her uniquely beautiful. Now she just looks like everyone else. And if nothing else, it's easy for you to floss right now. Whatever you choose, good luck.
im 14 too and i have like these freakish gaps between my teeth on the top and bottom. I've learned to love them though. They make me, ME! =D
im sure you look fine.

Some people just have extra room in their mouths. Discuss this with your parents and dentist, orthodontics may be necessary. You may be a candidate for Invisalign orthodontics; this is a tray system that is worn 24/7 except for when you eat or when brushing.

Additional information: Unless you have unusually large openings between your teeth, you may not find a dentist willing to drill down perfectly good teeth for crowns to be placed. If you were to go this route, you would be a candidate for veneers; this procedure doesn't remove nearly as much good tooth structure and what is removed is mainly on the frontal or face of each tooth that is prepped. As young as you are, orthodontic treatment would be the best alternative for you. Usually when there is gaps, crowding or other problems in the front teeth, there is malalignment in the pre molar and molar regions as well. Let your dentist determine what is best for your individual case. Good luck!
