Which smile makeover procedures are most suitable for my uneven teeth? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 1

From what I can observe in your photo, there appears to be some crowding in the lower front segment and some mal-alignment of the upper front segment too.

These are fairly straight forward problems to resolve with a course of orthodontics (braces). You will find that a simple course of either fixed or removable (e.g. Invisalign) orthodontics will leave you with aligned teeth, a stable bite and a nice smile!

There are other options besides orthodontics, for example using porcelain veneers or crowns to correct the shape and alignment of teeth. But orthodontics tends to be the least invasive and a superior clinical option if your primary objective is to align your teeth to improve your smile.

Generally speaking in Singapore fixed braces can range from $3000 onwards and a full course of Invisalign (clear aligners) can range from $6000 onwards.

I do hope this has been helpful to you

Kind regards,

Dr Hardev Singh

Can chewing habits correct an asymmetric jaw?

I fully agree with Dr Lee that chewing on one side will do little to help with the problem. In my experience as an aesthetic physician, it is as Dr Lee said, most of us have mild asymmetries, and almost every case of asymmetry has a mixture of BOTH bony and muscular elements. If the asymmetry is bothering you, I would suggest some botox and fillers first to correct it as a temporary measure. I would refer to my dental or orthodontic colleagues to correct teeth alignment and jaw surgery for better functional outcomes and long-lasting results.

Which doctor performs excision of trauma irritated fibroma in mouth?

Thank you for your question. Oral fibromas are benign growths (consisting of scar tissue) in the mouth that usually appear following repeated trauma (usually from rubbing of your teeth or dentures/braces against the inner lining of your mouth or from accidental lip biting). The inner cheek area (buccal mucosa) would be most common.
