I had an implant in Sept 2022 and the crown is too wide in my opinion. It affects my speech and I have developed an overbite since the implant was done. I've moved to another city but want to address this. Who should I consult? Implant Specialist? Cosmetic dentist? Thank you!
I'm 37, female. Post crown fitted to upper front central incisor snapped at gum line. I believe that it failed due to my bad overject/overbite, was advised that this was not the cause. 2 lower 1st molars extracted recently due to old infection. In order to make my teeth meet to chew, my lower jaw is forced back more than ever which causes strain on it. Will dental implant fail like the crown did? I was advised that orthodontics treatment is not necessary. Dental implant/other viable option?
I have dentures with two implants on the lower, Ive only recently been able to wear the lower due to the implants healing. I now have a significant overbite which I never had before. Can this be corrected?
I have been told that at least my two front teeth needs root canals done due to the angle they are at to each other and it's impossible to clean so they have a large cavity. My teeth on each side of the front are also misaligned and damaged. My canines stick out further than the others and makes my whole smile look horrible. I was told braces weren't an option without surgery to correct my lower jaw. How can I fix my front 6 teeth without spending thousands.
I went into this journey ignorant and unaware of my options. I would love to get some professional insight. My current orthodontist said that it was necessary for extractions because of my overbite. I would lose my teeth because of their positioning. I been thinking about a reversal and getting implants. I feel that my smile is shrunk and that it has become too narrow for my plump features.
My cuspid / canine teeth have always seemed too pointy and sharp. I have had people tell me that I have fangs. It seems like the tooth is too long. It really make me self-conscience when I smile. Also, due to my over bite, it is the first tooth to touch the bottom teeth which leaves a gap between the back teeth. What is a solution to fixing this? Can it just be grinded down?
I was giving 2 options by the dentist to replace an upper missing molar. One choice was an implant and the other choice was braces to close the space from the missing molar and will help an overbite I have. I don't know which way to go.
