ALL positive! I had Dr. Jue put short term orthodontics on me. They were off in time for my BIG day...my wedding! I saw Dr Jue on facebook talking about 6 Month Smiles. I called the next day and got in to start the process. Dr Jue was really great in putting on my braces, I cant wait to have A BEAUTIFUL SMILE. It was about an hour long process to put them on but watching tv while having it done made the time pass. I hear form people all the time they cant even tell I have them on, they have to take a second look. I even made a quick walk in on a Thursday morning for a fix and they were happy to help.
every case is different. Just depends on the amount of supporting tooth structure. There is no rule of thumb.
I see your frustration with your smile. I would short term braces to open up your bite. that means that you will be able to see the lower teeth when you smile and it will balance your smile. It also appears that you would need some gum surgery to contour the gum line, by doing this it will make your teeth longer . I would also recommend a zoom whitening to brighten your smile and then place lumineers to finish of your movie star smile.
Zoom is an excellent technique but it can be very difficult for any one step procedure to reach the maximum color change possible. Some of my patients are happy with their results. I give my patients custom made trays to follow up and maintain their results at home. The repeated applications will usually exceed one visit results. All bleaching methods temporarily dehydrate teeth and make them look a bit whiter than they actually will be once normal hydration returns to the teeth post bleaching. As for foods that stain teeth, I alway's tell my patients to avoid eating or drinking anything that can stain a white shirt. I ask them to hold off as long as they can. At minimun, 45 minutes to an hour. Causes of Tooth Discoloration Tooth discoloration can be caused by a number of factors. The most common include: - Tea, coffee, wine and cola - Smoking or chewing tobacco - Poor brushing or flossing habits - Aging teeth
