Question: Dentist help!!!! I need some answers!!.?
I have a very small mouth so my teeth are crowded. There is only one tooth that bothers me that is crooked. I don't mind my other teeth being crooked. I can't afford braces and surgeries to get my teeth perfect. Is there a way I can just get the one tooth fixed.? It is starting to rotate and it makes me self conscious. Anyone have any ideas.? I don't have dental insurance and I'm sitting on a budget of about 2,000 dollars.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
You should ask a dentist about the shapers that you wear for a while each day. They are done in stages and aren't worn all the time. It requires they make an impression of your teeth and then they use a computer to create several shaping molds.
Be sure to be up front with the dentist's office about not having any insurance and ask them what the cost would be for this type of treatment. It's important to understand that most insurance companies pay MAYBE half of what doctor's offices charge them. Because of this the office DOUBLES the price of procedures. If you tell them you are paying cash then they may cut the cost as much as 60% compared to what the "normal" price is.
