Asked By:annastockford in Kingdom City, MO

I am a 16 year old girl with bad teeth. My teeth are quite straight but my front teeth are very big and my teeth bend in towards my mouth. My smile is also small teeth wise leaving a large unsightly gap between my far in teeth and my lips. I am wondering how I can fix this as I am hoping to have a career in acting and I am very self concious smiling. I do not have any money and my parents are not willing to pay anything really towards any part of my life. I was wondering how I could get it on the NHS?

I don't like my smile, and the crowns on my 4 front teeth are too big. What's the best treatment for me? (Photo)
Ana Brightleaf, DMD (retired) says:

It is not that the crowns are too big. The problem is that you need more done. A smile cannot be fixed by only doing the 4 front teeth. Your arch narrows as it goes to the back of the mouth. Your eye teeth are barely visible. In order to fix your smile I would recommend you have at least 4 more...

Wendy S. Spektor, DDS says:

You have a nice smile with some irregularities.  Go talk to a progressive orthodontist and see if simple minor tooth movement with a retainer or Invisalign will help you.  I hate to see you shorten the 2 front teeth but you can talk to a Cosmetic Dentist and ask them what they think...
