My 4 Year Old Son's Crooked Smile Seems to Be Getting Worse. What Can Be Causing This?

August 16, 2012
Asked By:kymisue

I used to only notice it when he was smiling his smile very big. Now it is notibible to me atleast with every smile. What can be causing it to get worse? He has straight teeth with no over crowding according to his dentist and only a 7% overbite. The First picture is his big smile and the second is just his everyday smile that it is now noticible in.

My Front Tooth is Bigger Than the Other One and Looks Disproportionate.
Bradley Matthew, DDS says:

It looks like you chipped a tooth.  You could even your teeth by placing a composite (tooth colored) filling there or you could get porcelain veneers on your front teeth.  Alternatively, you could try bonding first, and if you aren’t satisfied, you could always get veneers.
