Long Term Tooth Loss - Crooked Mouth
asked 1 year ago by dandz in florida

Tags: smile, crooked
I look in the mirror, and I think I look good. Then I see photo, like in a drivers license, and I have a hideously crooked mouth. I lost a front tooth playing hockey when I was about 12. Could that have resulted in my teeth migrating around and deforming my mouth. If so,is there anything I can do about it. That was about 45 years ago. thanks

Braces or Veneers may be a solution
Simple ortho might make everything look just right. This can align the teeth where they should be.
Porcelain Veneers can help make things look better with color, shape and angulation. This is faster than orthodontics, but is considered irreversible and thus should only be done by a dentist with experience.
