I have 4 slightly crooked teeth in my lower row from using the bottle too long when I was little?

I did have loose braces for a few years. So my upper row is really straight. Also,one little piece of one of my front teeth is gone because of jumping with rollerskates and landing on my face when I was a child too.


Does anyone know if these two issues can be corrected surgically (and no braces anymore) and how much operations like that cost in the UK

get the teeth that need fixed capped they file them down before putting the caps on. it shouldn't matter if they are crooked or not. you just need a lot of money.
Reply:Ask your dentist about the cost. If all your teeth are perfect it will look like you've got false ones. Slight imperfections are endearing to a lot of people. A cap could cost you £150 upwards. Ask the guy who's going to fix it. He'll give you a price and may even let you pay it in instalments.
Reply:get the teeth that need fixed capped, its very simple through dentist
Reply:I havent a clue but for capped teeth costs from£60 per tooth so i suggest you go to a NHS dentist if you cant afford private and see what he/she will quote you
Reply:first of all, unless you drank form a bottle with the rubber teet till your lower adult teeth were coming in then that is not why they are squint.





knocks from a fall would have loosened them, or would have knocked them out, so i do not think that this is what has caused them to be squint either. unless the dentist intervened at the time.





there are no operations that can straighten teeth, can you imagine all the kids getting this operation to straighten them overnight if this was available (we all dream of that).





you have 3 options available, braces being one of them.





braces have advanced alot and you can have clear braces that are not noticable and ones that run along the back of the teeth at the tongue side and there are also clear removeable ones like mouthguards too. you could be referred to an orthodontist to discuss your options without having to commit yourself.





the other 2 options are veneers that cover the front of the teeth making them look straight but not affecting the true angle of the teeth or crowns.





veneers are the least invasive option by removing a couple of millimetres from the front surface of the tooth and getting a lab to make the veneer that gets glued onto that surface.





unless you have several fillings i would not recommend crowns as it means taking healthy tooth from all around each tooth to make the crown.





your dentist may not be willing to do these under the NHS (assuming you have an NHS dentist) unless there are problems with the teeth themselves not just being squint. so you may need to pay privately and you could be talking about upwards of £160 per tooth for veneers and upwards of £250 per tooth for crowns.
