Asked By:dream.of.a.nice.smile in England, AR

will braces bring down my top lateral insicors so they line up with my teeth so they can be straighter. Even though my teeth arnt crooked they still really make me sad and stop me from smiling. My dentist has said i could get ceramic braces i just want to know if that will work?

Until I get a new retainer, should I wear the old one that went through the washer and dryer?
Vicki Borowski, DDS says:

I agree that you should absolutely not wear the retainers. Call your orthodontist on Monday and get a new set made.

Would it be a waste of money to get braces? I have crowding, an overbite, and a chip in my front tooth (Photo)
Gail Schupak, DMD says:

I would certainly recommend braces for you.  I would recommend getting the chipped tooth fixed after your orthodontic treatment.

Did my orthodontist mess up? My two front teeth are protruding out. Would I need braces again or will my retainer fix it?(photo)
Vicki Borowski, DDS says:

Your orthodontic result seems within normal limits. Some over jet of the front teeth is normal. Retainers will not correct this but will keep your teeth stable. You may want to visit with your othodontist if you still have concerns.
