I'm 20 years old, and really unhappy with my teeth. My sister cause my front tooth to be slightly chipped at the bottom, a broken tooth on the side, stuck behind a new tooth, anda broken tooth in the back bottom, now rotten and troublesome.

Im wanting a new smile, and better oral hygiene. I want to start renewing my mouth. HELP?
