It seems like a simple problem to fix. The 5 teeth have drifted to
left and hit the canine on other side. The five teeth are all
straight. Please, someone help me out. I dont like negative comments
from Dentists who make money doing this. The other doctors in canada
dont charge anything.

I personally don't think it has to do with whether or not the doctors
on this forum are making money. The truth is, when teeth have
shifted, orthodontic treatment is necessary to correct it, and it's
extremely difficult to estimate the potential cost of your treatment
without being able to see and analyze your particular case.
The practice I work for offers no-charge consultations, at which point
you may decide if you are interested in what they have to offer, and
talk cost with their treatment coordinators. There just isn't a way
"the average do-it-yourself Joe" can shift a string of 5 teeth by
something they rig up themselves. You also won't find anything on the
general market that can do this for you because there is virtually no
way to move teeth without knowing where they are and where they are
supposed to go.
Do see an orthodontist about your issue. If you are going to a really
honest, reputable one, there usually won't be a charge for your
initial consultation with them, and scheduling an appointment there
will save you from searching on a forum for answers from doctors who
truly can't help you, because they have no way of analyzing you, and
there isn't anything on the mass market that can move teeth.
Hope this helps,

Ash

Thanks for the detailed answer. I have crest white strips on as we
speak. Of couse they cant work becaue only dentists are smart.

Your welcome for the answer, but i'm not really sure where you're
going with your response, since whitestrips aren't the issue. If you
were going for sarcasm, feel free to not direct it at me. I
personally believe that I have given you the most thorough and
thoughtful response so far on this thread, and I sincerely hope you
can get the treatment you require to have the teeth you want.- Hide quoted text -
