How my teeth look

My teeth are crowded or stick outBraces, fixed or clear, from an early check for a child to adults.I want braces that hardly showClear aligners: trays that come out when you eat, who they suit, and when fixed braces suit better.My teeth look yellowWhitening lightens the colour from within the tooth; stains on the surface go with a cleaning, not with whitening.I want to change how my smile looksWhat a veneer is, a thin shell on the front of the tooth, and when something simpler will do, such as tooth-coloured bonding.

Cleaning and prevention

There's tartar on my teethScaling and cleaning at the clinic, and what happens in the session.My gums bleed, or they are recedingGum inflammation, bleeding and recession: what the sign means, and what comes next.
