Well, I still have my braces on and will get them off next January or February. My mom told me after I get them off she will get my teeth whitened in the dentist. My teeth are a bit sensitive too by the way. Also, when their whitening your teeth what do they exactly do? How long does it normally take? Thanks!

I have a 100% overbite. My teeth aren’t very crooked though. My upper teeth cover my entire bottom teeth. How long will it take for braces with rubber bands to correct a 100% overbite with ELASTICS?

I’m a 20 year old college student in Florida. I’m pregnant and I have medicaid… The baby also has Medicaid, but I might need to add her onto my dental insurance later?

I’m looking for dental insurance because I haven’t seen a dentist in like 4 years, although I had no cavities then and have never had cavities before, but I now have little black spot in a couple of my teeth that are probably cavities. :( No pain though.

I also want braces (orthopedics) but I’m sure I’ll have to pay misty out of pocket for this. But I’d the insurance will cover part of the cost that would be great!

Help???
The website "insurancehealthquotes.info" did not work…
That website is about jobs. No serious answers? This is ridiculous. I want info about a REAL dental plan. I guess y!a was not he place to go.

How do you fix an overbite without braces?

I’ve had braces already, and for some reason they didn’t put the rubber band thing on me. i’ve had an overbite ever since though. even now and it has been 3 year without braces. I don’t want to go back so how do i fix an overbite without having to get braces again?

Id like to get braces to fix my overbite, but we don’t have the money for them. I lost one tooth when I feel on my face (is it true that it is likely due to the fact that I have an overbite)
Fell on my face* typo.

I keep moving my jaw left to right and then up and around and semi-clicking it and biting down compulsively. I have braces so I can’t chew gum so I think I’m doing all these weird things instead. I’m concerned I’m permanently damaging the joints. Any ideas on how to stop?

Cosmetic dental problem?

Hello everyone, thanks for reading my question!

Alright, well, one of my lateral incisors (I looked at a tooth chart because I have no idea what tooth is named what, so hopefully this is the right one… should be the one right next to my front two teeth), the one on the left side is somewhat pushed back from the rest of my smile. This makes it appear smaller in photos and the two front teeth cast a shadow over it in photos too which gives it a discolored appearance!

Now I know I should just get over it, but I’ve always wanted a nice smile and I’ve felt that this one tooth is ruining my smile. It’s otherwise straight. I’ve never had braces or cosmetic dentistry done. I asked my mom about it and she said I should get over it because it’s just a tooth, but I really does douse my confidence sometimes.

I looked it up and a single porcelain veneer costs upward of 0! I don’t even know if a veneer could fix the problem anyway..

Well my main question (after all my bickering, lol) is could I perhaps remove a tooth from the back to create more space and help this tooth not be so cramped in my mouth? My dentist says I have a pretty small jaw, and I’m wondering if the best way to fix this problem is to have a tooth pulled so my teeth may space themselves out a bit. My wisdom teeth are starting to come in too, but not on that row.

So here lemme restate the questions…
1) Can tooth removal create more space in my smile and
2) How long will it take for my teeth on that side to space

Not even sure if teeth actually do that… it’s just what I’ve heard…

And if you have any suggestions that are frugal and pocket friendly, please voice them! :)

Thank you for reading my incredibly long and complicated question/story.
