I have just come to realize that my smile is completely crooked via a picture that was captured of me. I’m not sure how all these years I was oblivious but it was never brought to my attention, now I need help. Can this be fixed? Is it a cosmetic issue or a dental thing?
Answer: Orthognathic surgery Jaw Issues: If the crookedness is related to your gums or jaw positioning, surgical options might be considered. Orthognathic surgery can address jaw misalignment, while gum contouring can adjust the symmetry of your smile.To determine the exact cause of your crooked smile and the best way to fix it, a consultation with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or orthodontist would be a good starting point.

Answer: SMILE MAKEOVER Hello, I understand that realizing your smile is misaligned can be surprising and a bit unsettling. It’s important to know that these situations can have several causes: some might be inherited, related to skeletal structure, or simply dental. To pinpoint the exact cause, various studies and dental examinations are necessary. There are different options to address this issue. Here are some recommendations that might be important for you: Traditional Braces or Invisalign: If the problem is primarily with dental alignment, both traditional braces and Invisalign can help correct the alignment of your teeth. This process can take about a year, and while it will improve alignment, it’s important to note that your teeth will retain the same size, shape, and color, and the final result will depend on your commitment to the treatment. Full Smile Makeover with Zirconia Crowns: If you're looking for a more complete and rapid transformation, considering a full smile makeover with zirconia crowns might be an excellent option. This treatment not only corrects the alignment of your teeth but also allows you to change their shape, size, and color. In just a few days, you can achieve a significant change in your smile, giving you the appearance you’ve always desired. Both options have their benefits, and it's crucial to choose the one that best suits your needs and expectations. I recommend consulting with a specialist to explore these options and determine the most suitable treatment for you. I hope this information is helpful and assists you in making an informed decision about the best path to achieving the smile you deserve. Sincerely, Dr. Arzate

Answer: Crooked Smile There is always a way to improve the smile like in your case. However the limits need to be considered. I see in your photos the problem is not only aesthetic but also functional. I cannot tell a lot with only 2 pictures. An X-ray image and pictures from other angles will be needed to speak further. And of course an optimal scenario should be considered to keep the teeth health and also add aesthetic look on it.
