Hi Elaine,

It is important to schedule an appointment with your dental - orthodontic professional in order to be professional examined, but from the photo you sent, it looks like your crowding issue is a very likely candidate for Invisalign orthodontic treatment.

Hi DAB2,

Bone loss is often the result of periodontal disease, but there are
methods of restoring the bone you have already lost, up to and including
a bone graft. Losing your teeth at any age can be a terrifying experience, but the most important step you can take right now is to visit your local DDS. An experienced and licensed dental professional will be able to examine you, take X-Rays (an office with a CBCT machine will be able to take 3D x-rays, providing your dental professional with even more information to diagnose and treat your bone loss) and create a treatment plan you are comfortable with. Consider physicians with accreditation from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and / or the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), as these organizations encompass and enforce strict standards with all member dentists.

Laser teeth whitening is administered in a dental office exclusively,
and is the most effective method for whitening. Bleach is applied to
each tooth, and heat generated by a laser, typically an Er:YAG laser, enhances its effectiveness
while ultimately speeding up the process. This procedure uses a strong
bleaching gel that the laser activates and enhances for quick, dramatic
results. Typically a hydrogen peroxide bleach gel is used ranging from 25 to 40 concentration.

Have you researched laser teeth whitening / bleaching? Laser bleaching utilizes light energy to activate the dental bleaching agent, which is applied to each tooth's surface, accelerating the bleaching process to give your teeth an instant whitening result. This process is different than Zoom whitening, which does not use a laser. 

There is a high likelihood that you are a candidate for traditional orthodontics (wire braces). This would take care of your tooth 8 and 9.
