A Way to Lengthen my Front and Lateral Incisors? (photo)

September 8, 2012
Asked By:yowassupguys

My front teeth and lateral incisors are shorter than my canines. Significantly. How should I go about lengthening them to match my canines? My left front tooth sticks out a little and I'm wondering if I should get braces before anything else? What would be the best lengthening method and what would the maximum cost be? Thank you!

Did the Orthodontist Screw Up? Narrow Smile and Teeth Tilted in? (photo)
Rob van den Berg, DDS, MS says:

The teeth do appear inwardly tipped, especially the cuspids. It may be an option to orthodontically "torque" the upper and lower teeth out. This is not a quick movement and would require additional time in braces. For some patients it is helpful to first broaden the smile and then...
