My 17 year old wants fake teeth to enter a model pageant, is there such a thing? if so, are they expensive?

Question

Is this the same as a flipper?

Answer 1

First off, why? Is it something that braces could fix? I know it takes longer and isn't and instant fix but the over all out come is better!  Secondly, is it necessary for the contest? Be careful about these pageants because I know people who suffered self esteem problems because they wanted to look like the other girls they saw.  

Answer 2

yes there is such a thing has fake teeth.

usually ppl that loose their front teeth due to an accident they get replaced with fake teeth.

but im not really sure how expensive they are

but i think they would be like a thousand or so.

since it's permanent

and it's not like you take them out or anything.

Answer 3

yes they are expensive and it sounds like your daughter needs a talk about how everyone has their own beauty and that those girls she sees in magazines usually has had their picture retouched to look differently

Answer 4

Yea i think its the same as a flipper. Or you can get more permanent ones- veneers run around 5 grand idk how much a flipper is.

Answer 8

It really depends on what she is talking about, most likely, if she only wants to use them for the pageant, then yes, it's a flipper.

Answer 9

psssh wow, why on earth would she sell herself out and be one of those pageant girls? She could so so much more with her life than just parade around for people to judge how she looks. if that’s her biggest issue is that she Wants fake teeth than tell her to go fly a kite, unless she needs them you should make her pay for it, or try to talk her out of the superficiality of being in a pageant.

Answer 10

There are things called veneers. It's where the put "fake" teeth over your actual teeth. But, I've heard they are expensive. You could search the web or places in your area to further your research and discuss prices
