My teeth are really crooked but I'm beyond braces. What should I do? False teeth, bridges?

My back ones are straight, 6 front on top and 7 on bottom are crooked. If I go for false teeth, should I have all pulled at once, or top and bottom separately? Should I only get the crooked ones pulled and then get bridges? What are the pros and cons of false and bridges?

My teeth are pretty crooked and I'm starting Invisalign soon. I don't have any real gaps or anything. But, mine might be similar to yours because it's really the 6 teeth on the top in the front that need straightening and same for the bottom ones. My back teeth line up pretty well, but really, who cares about your molars?

You'd be surprised what orthodontists can do these days. No one is beyond hope. And if your teeth are healthy, orthodontists are hesitant to pull those healthy teeth. They always want to do their best to save your actual teeth. Real teeth are much better than man-made ones. If it's a question of alignment, there's a lot they can do. The biggest pain is the cost. It'll be expensive, whatever you decide. I'm doing Invisalign for $3400.

go to your dentist and ask about invisalign.

i'd recommend a hammer + a chisel... i think you'll really enjoy the results

I had porcelain veneers put on mine, they actually file your real teeth down to little nubs and put the veneers over top, now I have beautiful teeth. Keep your teeth at all cost!

Why are you "beyond braces"? Is it because you think you're too old for braces or think your teeth are beyond the help braces might offer? Either way, I'd suggest you go to an orthodontist and see what they have to say: you might be pleasantly surprised.
It's amazing how a beautiful smile is tied up with our image of what an attractive person looks like, so I understand your concern.

invisalign wont work for really crooked teeth, and you're not beyond braces, youll be surprised at how they work. make a free consultation with your local orthodontist and be on your way to a healthy smile and greater confidence.

I disagree with the other answerer. Invisalign is merely for minor correcting of crowding. If you defiantely dont want to go the braces route, you could think of putting veneers and crowns on all teeth. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth, so sounds like you defiantely dont need that. More of a case of too many teeth! You can crown teeth and put veneers which will reshape the teeth and are aestetically more pleasing. But again let me remind you the cost will be more. Avg case of braces is $4-5000. 13 veneers is going to cost you approx $8-9000...Hope this helps...

Why are you beyond braces? Unless you have really bad gum disease, you are probably not beyond braces. They do have braces that are almost invisible (Invisaline).
