Case Description
I wore braces when I was younger, they were taken off in 2001. When they came off they left a brown mark on my front teeth. To make things worse I was wearing my retainer and it chipped one of my front teeth. It now has decay in it, because its hard to brush in it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it? I want a better smile. PLEASE HELP!

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I am sorry to hear of your trouble. It is very unusual for a retainer to cause chipping of a tooth. Sometinmes, however, after orthodontics, teeth do not fit and work together quite like they should. This can lead to chipping, wearing down, stress, trauma, and eventually periodontal disease, loose teeth and issues requiring root canals. Your bite can often be adjusted with little expense to a situation where your teeth are more stable. While you are looking to improve the appearance of your teeth, be sure to have someone evaluate the health of your teeth and mouth. A little prevention now can save you thousands$$ later. Best of luck to you.
