Vampire teeth and braces question?!
Question: Vampire teeth and braces question.?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carrierox4e... What would my dental problem be called.?.? I call them vampire teeth but what would they really be called.?.? Would Invisaline ( http://www.invisalign.com/Pages/Home.asp... ) be able to fix my teeth or would I need braces for my specific problem.?.? I also heard that getting some of my teeth pulled would bring those vampire teeth down to where they are suppose to go, is that true.?.? Thanks!!Health Question & Answer

I am an orthodontic and dental assistant. I would say after looking at your picture that invisalign would not be an option for you. It usually only corrects minor problems. I would say traditional braces would be best for you. I have seen many cases where patients have the same problem as you. It is usually corrected by removing a premolar and pulling your canine (or vampire) teeth down to line up with the others. You ought to have a consult at an orthodontist office and I'm sure they can better explain the procedure. Hope this helped some! Best of luck!!Health Question & Answer
