Can I sue my dentist for shaving down my teeth so that my two front teeth are both unequal lengths, making it look like I have a chipped tooth. She also shaved down my molars so that they don't meet giving me an open bite and making it very hard to chew. She did this all without my permission in my first month of the six months smiles braces. What are my alternatives? Will she fix my teeth with dental bonding for free as its her fault? I paid £1700 pounds for these braces. Thank you.
