What are my options for fixing one or two crooked teeth?

Question

Is there a way to fix one or two crooked teeth without getting braces? If so, what is it? I definitely don't want to get braces since it cost a lot of money and is painful. The crooked teeth is grinding on my other teeth, causing it to wear down.

Answer 1

you should get veneers or porcelin crowns.  you'll be done in 2 weeks at the most and your teeth will actually shape better too.  bad thing is you are probably looking at around $1000 per tooth and that they do have to cut up your teeth a bit

Answer 2

Actually, I had one tooth in cross bite.  The dentist put a button on the inside of that tooth and on the outside of the tooth below and stretched a rubber band between the two and straightened the one tooth.  The other way you can have them fixed is to put caps on the two teeth.  The thing is, if you go to a really good dentist who has cosmetic training, you can always find a solution that will match your pocketbook.

The thing is, you should talk to health professionals like you are talking to us here.  When you go to them, you are the boss and you tell them about you and tell them what you are trying to accomplish.  I had extensive dental work a couple of years ago and I told them I didn't want to feel any pain, and I didn't.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 6

braces are not that painful, they can cause some discomfort for the first few weeks, but it's definately worthwhile.

Braces are a great option and nowadays there are so many different types that are not noticeable produce great result within months, examples are the Inman Aligner and 6 month smiles.

If you really don't braces then you could consider veneers to improve the appearance of your teeth.

If cost is an issue, then maybe think about finance options where you can spread the costs over a year.

Answer 7

Braces aren't extremely painful,but they are very annoying.

I would ask about a retainer,they can sometimes help with little problems.
