I have crooked teeth what is an homemade way to fix them?

My girlfriend doesn't mind but I mind. I can't go to an denist too expensive. Is there anything I can do at home to fix them

I have crooked teeth what is an homemade way to fix them?
As the Owner of an Orthodontic Lab. I have to tell you that the key to moving teeth is constant pressure. braces accomplish this fast because they maintain pressure 24/7. Retainers that are designed to move teeth do this a little slower because the wearer can take it out, hence no 24/7 pressure. With that said any thing you do will have to be for hours at a time to see any result. example: if you use your finger to apply pressure and you keep your finger in your mouth on your tooth for 12 hours a day...no. 1) your girlfriend probably will not like it....no. 2) during the other 12 hours (out of a 24 hour day) the teeth will "stabilize" or move back into position. Therefore you have to keep your finger in your mouth more hours out of the day than out of our mouth.


Amazingly enough I has seen small kids move a tooth that was out of place with a tongue depressor just by holding it against the tooth while she watched TV in the evening., Man, teeth move fast in young children.


As far as the Small rubber band trick. It works because you can leave it in all day. But it does only fix the gaps in your teeth not crowding. Plus I saw an x-ray of a young woman that lost her 2 front teeth because the rubber band rolled up into her gums and she didn't know it. It the irritation cause her bone-structure to turn to mush! Its not worth the risk.


Hope this helps





By the way most orthodontist (dentist that do only braces) have payment plans. $89-200 a month in most cases.


Depending on how jacked up your grill is! ;)

Reply:bust them out with a hammer and put chiclets in there place...voila straight teeth.just don't swallow or you will be missing some.
Reply:just get some pliers at the hardware store and twist them how you want. once you get them how you want, super glue them in place.
Reply:don't think so
Reply:just keep em clean and white, you wont be able to change their shape without a dentist.
Reply:can not be done at home. to straighten your teeth, you have to change your bone structure.
Reply:no man sure isnt
Reply:nooo. try to save up to have them filed or something. try to be happy with who you are - everyone has something they never think is good enough and want to fix and can't afford - if ur girl loves you with your teeth the way they are - then why worry?? they just might be your own special trait and add some uniqueness to your look. there are tons of celebrities with gaps in their teeth, crooked teeth. i know it's hard but try to see what ur girlfriend sees. maybe you can save up and if still important to you in a few years, you can get them done - at least in the front. i don't know if filing is that expensive.. it might be cute. : )
Reply:im not sure it's wise to do your own dental work


but i have seen chicklets used in movies the only thing is that i dont see how they stay in and they would melt and look pretty dumb ie the movie Dennis the menice im sorre if this is no help
Reply:A really small rubber band, like the kind they use for braces. My mother in law fixed her gap in her front teeth this way.
Reply:Pull them out!
Reply:don't pull out your teeth ! the suggestion with the rubber bands is good. also, get stimudent tooth pics, use them between teeth that are too close together to move them....


it's cool that your girlfriend loves you; try to accept what you cannot change....and count your blessings.


Good luck.

and incase u modify may be she will see u diffrent. since your teeth plus face someone loves u, u seem to be very very beutfull
Reply:There really isn't anything you can do other than save up for the braces or reshaping. Like anything, shop around! Orthodontists want your business. Find out what the payment plans would be for several different places (look in the yellow pages). It truly is worth it! If you mind them now, how will you feel 10 yrs from now? You only have one life, there's no sense in wasting it being depressed about something you can have fixed. Good luck!
