the Central Incisors/buck Teeth Posted: 05-27-04 21:23pm
Hi folks,
my two top central incisors are a little
larger than the rest of my adjacent teeth
and it protrudes slightly outwards, making
it a little buck teeth. It looks bad
especially since my lateral incisors are
unfortunately smaller than the rest, so
it's a pretty bad image all together. I
try not to show off my teeth when I
smile!
Are there any dental procedures to reduce
the size of my central incisors?
Or how would people with buck teeth
correct their problem?
Cheers,
ed

Hey there-
a good place to start would
be a consultation with your dentist.They
can recommend an orthodontist(braces) to
reduce the protrusion.Then,after your
teeth are in correct alignment-veneers on
the lateral(side)incisors are often done
to enlarge undersized(pegged)laterals.I
know this is an investment of both time
and money,but if you want it done
correctly,it will be worth it.Good luck!!
