Miss Chastity, I'm impressed how beautiful your teeth look after 5 months. I can already assume your face is going to look somehow smoother. As I am a complicated case and hesitating I find courage in those photos. I'w Swedish but living in Paris and I notice people here are not too obsessed with ve...

Hi, I have two implants and I confirm they are the best option. Not only they don't damage the adjacent teeth but when they are placed by a good professional, they look natural and they can last decades. I've had mine for 15 years and they are just perfect.

Hello, My own case is a bit different as I had other problems associated with my crooked teeth but I recognize your parents' reaction well. Just to talk about mine: I found them selfish not to consider (at least consider!) my wishes and when they reiterated their critical comments, I realised they f...

Thanks for answering. Obviously, it's tricky. I have seen an orthodontist some years ago and he disdn't look very convinced by his own propositions. I am planning to take another appointment soon with someone else but of course I would feel a little better if I had in mind a few available solutions....

One tooth at a time??

Hello, I make it short, if that is possible. As a young adult, I had an accident that damaged my lower jaw. I now have 2+2 implants (2 left, 2 right, bicuspids+molars) on that jaw and they can't be used to support braces as implants never have to be connected to "normal"teeth. Their moveme...
