Dr. Hall,
\nWhen I was in my teens, I had braces<\/a> put on my teeth. Being young, I stopped going to my regular appointments and never got them taken off. Now I am 35 years old and needless to say over the years, not having the braces taken off has caused numerous problems and deterioration on my teeth. In a nutshell, my mouth includes some teeth with part of the brace remaining, others where the brace has fallen off but left a mark and gaps where teeth use to be. I don’t know where to start but am desperate to start corrective action. What procedures would I need done?

Angela,
\nYou would need, of course, to get the remaining braces off. Then, depending on how much of the tooth is damaged, you would need to get either porcelain veneers<\/a> or porcelain crowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We all did stupid things when we were young and know better now. All you can do is fix what needs to be fixed and move on. But you should be able to get everything put back together and have a beautiful smile. I’m sure what you have now makes you feel self-conscious. It will be nice to get it taken care of.
\n– Dr. Hall<\/p>\n
