A brief background: I graduate college in the spring of 2011 so I have a limited amount of time to save cash to get my two front teeth straightened. These two teeth are so crooked that one covers the other tooth by about 50% and it's pushed outward as well. I avoid smiling but I'm going to need to be able to smile during interviews or I risk giving a wrong impression. As we all know, the first impression can make or break an interview. Once I have a job in my field (Health Information Technology), I'll have good dental insurance, but for now, I'm on my own. I realize that cost can vary dramatically from one area to another but in general, what would be more cost effective - braces of some kind, veneers, dental implants, or something else? I'm in the U.S.
--------------------
Implants are too costly and extreme for this situation. It would not only require you to remove 2 perfectly healthy teeth, but would take 6 months to complete. Around $2,500 per tooth. Veneers are for simpler cases where the teeth may not be so overlapped. Around $900 per tooth. With the kind of crowding you're describing, I believe the quickest and simplest way to correct your problem would be 2 crowns. I think the average cost is $900-1,200 per crown. This would take 2 weeks to complete. Again, you still need to consult with a dentist to make sure this is the best treatment possible for your situation. E-mail me if you could benefit from a referral in the Salt Lake or San Francisco area. If not, make sure you search for an LVI(Las Vegas Institute) trained dentist in your area to receive the best treatment.
