I went to a highly recommended Dentist for a check up & clean and polish. I asked him for a recommendation to make them look cleaner and whiter (some slight discolouration).
He took an xray and then told me I had good teeth and it would be a crime to veneer the front ones (a bit worn and discoloured).
He said I need to have train tracks for 18 months to get them perfectly aligned (they look ok but this would perfect) and then he'd get them whitened etc. He didn't seem to get that I might be self concious about this & made me feel awkward when I said this. I've just got here and have had lots of problems, train tracks would just make me feel self concious too. Train tracks would have been fine at 14 but I am a part time professional here and the idea of turning overnight into a mature ugly Betty doesn't fill me with glee (unless there is a real medical need).
I am not keen on train tracks! I have read somewhere about new invisible ones that fit behind your teeth. He said that these are basically pretty ineffective.
The long and the short of it was I thought he was pretty useless. He kept saying I had good teeth and 'I need to think about you'.
He then told me he'd forgotten I wanted them cleaned/de-scaled etc and we'd run out of time.
Not sure what to do next?
