Can Crowns Be Used to Straighten Teeth?

June 18th, 2014

Hello, I have a question to ask. I’m 65 years old and have been to see my dentist about having my teeth straightened. I assumed he would suggest braces of some sort, but he wants to do it by using crowns – 20 of them! He told me that my teeth won’t move easily with a brace, but when they’ve been crowned they will be re-aligned, so not crooked anymore. I just thought I’d come to you for a second opinion. Can teeth be straightened with crowns?

Should I Get Aligners??

February 12th, 2013

Hello,
I recently went to the dentist for a consultation to get my teeth whitened but while I was there she said that perhaps I should think about orthodontic treatment as a few of my teeth are a little bit out of line on my top teeth. To be honest I haven’t really thought about it before but now she has brought it up I do feel a bit concious of them.
She left me to have a think about it and I have seen some adverts for aligners and if I was to get any it would be these I think. If my teeth problems are minor how long do you think I would have to wear the braces?
Also I am worried about the cost and a part of me thinks I may just leave them for now.
