Using Invisalign as a Retainer
I am finishing up my Invisalign treatment. I have two sets of aligners left. I have to move rather quickly to another state and will be quite busy once I arrive. My sister and her young son were just diagnosed with cancer, though they have two different cancers. I was coming to help anyway, but…

Smile Makeover Disaster
I need some serious advice. I went to my dentist with the intent of having my cleaning done and then getting a recommendation for an orthodontist. My four upper front teeth are crooked. He said he could make them straight with cosmetic dentistry and I would not have to worry about the inconvenience of braces.…

The Secret to Very White Teeth
I have been using whitening toothpastes for years and never seem to get very white teeth. I’ve about given up and am now looking at getting Lumineers at the suggestion of my dentist. It looks like it can give me very white teeth, but I wanted to make sure I am on the right track…

Should She Finish This Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
I went for years grinding my teeth without any intervention or knowledge that it was happening. I moved to a new city, which meant a new dentist. He was the one who told me about the grinding. I would explain why my jaw always hurt. I am wearing a night guard now, but he also…

Dental Bonding Doesn't Match
I chipped a tooth after a fall. My dentist wanted to put a crown on the tooth, but I did some research and saw the best solution was dental bonding so I asked him to do that. He agreed, but the results aren’t that great. The colors don’t match so you can really tell it…

Contouring Teeth
Ever since I had my braces, off the jagged edges of some of my teeth have bothered me. Can this be fixed? If so, would it be done by my regular dentist or is it something the orthodontist would do? I like how straight they are now, but would like smooth edges. Misty Dear Misty,…

Need to Whiten FAST!
I’ve kind of let my whole routine go during this quarantine and I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t even taken care of my hygiene that well. The only thing I did do is work non-stop from home remotely. I live alone so I just plopped on the couch, put on some background noise, ate snacks,…

Making Teeth Beautiful Fast without Spending a Fortune
A man I knew way back in high school is flying into town for a business meeting and wants to have dinner and catch up. This is going to sound a bit childish, but I used to have a crush on him and want to make a good impression. Sort of show him I’ve “aged…
