Asked By:MinnesotanAspie in Saint Paul, MN

I'm 18, and when I was 10, I tripped at the bowling alley, then fell into a chair, so I went to the dentist and they glued it back on. Months later, ice fell on the tooth and broke it. Back to dentist. Then I went to get braces when I was 15, and the orthodontist broke it again, then lost the broken piece, so I had to get half a fake tooth. They didn't put a cap on it or anything, and it's progressively getting worse. I'm getting pretty self conscious about it, any advice? Thank you in advance.
