What can I do now that I'm an adult with a gap and baby teeth?


Question:
I have 2 adult teeth (fangs) embeded within my gums only noticable in an xray they grew slanted causing them not to come down. I have a big gap that look like the size of a tooth.I am know in my 40's and wondering what are my options? and will this cause me a fortune?

Answers:
At the very least you should give yourself the opportunity to have a consultation (sometimes done at no charge) with an orthodontist about this. They would be able to advise you best about what your options might be. For instance, I had braces as an adult and although it cost a tidy sum the correction of the way my teeth bite together has saved me from needed crowns on my back teeth from wearing them down. All in all, not only is my smile fabulous but I actually feel like I saved money but paying for the braces and not a mouth full of crowns..

Hope that helps

Yes, it will be very expensive, but dentists can do pretty nice bridgework now. They should be able to fill it in somehow. I know one bridge was going to cost me around $3000.
OMG u still have baby teeth? i lost all mines 3 years ago.
focus on your inner beauty. without zero dental work you can be more appealing than some people with the nicest teeth. be beautiful... and worry about the teeth later.
Braces would be your best and permanent option.It will only coast you $3500-4000.But it will make feel worth 1000000.Go for it.
