Case Description
I have a huge gap between my front two teeth (about 6mm). I also have a space in my back tooth (top right, 3rd from back) from a baby tooth that fell out and never grew back in. I was told once that the tooth is still up there in my gums, but I doubt it is ever coming out--its been several years. I have had braces for two years and all it did was space out the rest of my small teeth and when I took the braces off, my gap opened right back up. I tried to live with my gap, but I really really hate it. I know I would have a prettier smile if my teeth were straight. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Sincerely, depressed and tired.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
