Lots of problems with my teeth...pictures included! I need serious help!?!


Question: Lots of problems with my teeth!.!.!.pictures included! I need serious help!!?
ok i need some serious help!.
i'm 21, from the uk and i smoke and drink a bit too much!.
Anyway i got my braces off about 5 months ago, but to be honest they aren't nearly what i was expecting, and some of them have moved a bit since then!. I don't really want to get braces again, as i'm 21!! But if it's my only option, and if it's only going to be for a few months i can put up with that, cause it's free anyway!. I have quite a big overbite, can that be fixed!?
Also my teeth are very stained as you can see, and my gums seem to have like gone down kind of!.
My front right tooth is chipped and has gone a dark grey colour, what could this be!?
I haven't been to the dentist in about 3 years, cause i've been away at uni and all the dentists in that city were private, and not nhs dentists!.
I have made an appointment for next week, what do you think he will say/do!?
Also any advice about getting my teeth back to a normal colour!? (no i'm not quitting smoking)
thanks

Answers:
You should get porcelain veneers!. I don't know if you've heard of them, but basically they shave your natural teeth down and adhere porcelain teeth over them!. A lot of people these days are getting them to help straighten and whiten their smile!. you can pick the shape of the teeth if you want, and they are custom made to fit in your mouth!. They're NOT dentures; they are supposed to be permanent (kind of like a crown) but some dentists recommend replacing them every 20-25 years!. If you don't want to go through the hassle of braces again, this is a safe and easy way to do it!. You also mentioned that you haven't really looked after your teeth, so this would be kind of like a fresh start!.

You already had braces!!? If so I'd sue the ortho who put them on my teeth!. Only option pull them all and get false teeth!.

You've got some seriously ugly teeth!.

"But if it's my only option, and if it's only going to be for a few months i can put up with that, cause it's free anyway!."

This is precisley the problem - because its free (Socialised Medicine), you have taken no care of your teeth - lack of brushing, smoking, drinking, etc!. You assume that people like myself who pay over 25% tax will take care of you!. Like a child in a candy store, taking as much as they can, people like yourself ravage the health system because you haven't taken proper care of yourself!. The level of service is now so poor due to people like yourselves who take advantage of the system, that it becomes unnacceptable for many, like myself, who chose to go private, but still have to pay for YOUR health!.

Does this seem fair!? I don't think so!.

If you want your teeth corrected, I'd suggest the following:

1)get a proper teeth cleaning, by a hygenist 2x a year
2)floss AM & PM
3) brush AM & PM
4) mouthwash AM & PM
5) get invisalign!.

And for goodness sake, pay for it yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
