two questions!! hellllp


Question Posted Saturday April 12 2008, 10:44 pm

my teeth arent the straightest. i mean everything is perfect except for this one tooth that goes outwards and i hate it.
and they arent so white either, whiters just dont seem to work for me that well. :[

so i have two questions:

1. whenever im with a guy, im always so self concious about talking, because i know its not just me that does this, but when someones talking to me, i always seem to be focused on thier teeth the most. and sonce i dont have great teeth, im afraid they are going to be like... ew. or something.
i heard that if you push on your tooth kind of hard every day then sooner or later it will kind of move into place a little better. is that true? i was thinking about trying it!

2. how can i get my teeth white, that i can do at home with no money, im broke haha.

id really appreciate it also if guys could tell me if they concentrate hard of girls teeth, and if they arent straight and not really white, is that a turn off?
thank you all!

I really don't think people concentrate on teeth as much as you think. The only reason YOU notice people's teeth is because you're so self-concious about your own... so you look at others' to compare them. That's how I am with noses... I hate my nose, so I always look at other people's noses and think how much better their's looks than mine! But I doubt most people give noses nearly as much thought as I do. And I bet it's the same way with you and teeth.

If the crooked tooth really bothers you a lot, go to the orthodontist for a consultation (which most orthos will do for free). Just find out what would be involved in getting that tooth fixed, and how much it would cost. Even if you can't afford it right now, you can make it a goal for the future... but at least you'll have a realistic idea of what would be involved.

As for whitening... I just got my teeth whitened at the dentist (the Zoom treatment). It was $299.00, and totally worth it. That's really not a huge sum of money when you compare it to some of the other things you might spend money on (clothes, going out to eat, movies, etc... you can spend $299 on those things really quick). If it's really important to you, and you're willing to make a few temporary sacrifices, you can come up with the money... and you'll have something of lasting value (white teeth) that you'll be happy with for a long time!

hey (:
my front teeth are wonky, and i hate them, and they aren't the whitest of white at times either.
if i could change one thing about me it would be my teeth :P
i'm 15 and recently my boyfriend told me he loved my teeth, that he thought they made me special (:
guys don't look at teeth all the time, and the ones that do are a bit freaky anyway... XD
if you are worried about the colour, try using bicarbonate of soda to brush your teeth, it's dead cheap coz you buy it for making cakes and stuff. i tried it and it worked, i spread my toothpaste on as usual, then dipped it in the pot of BoS, and brushed my teeth as usual, you could try too (:
don't try pushing you tooth it ! you might do some damage, try to see a dentist about it ^^
hope i helped xxx

Ok, i'm not a guy... but I hope you don't mind me putting in my two cents here.

First off, do not try pushing your tooth everyday kinda hard. It is not wise, won't help and you may end up doing some real damage. If you want that tooth straight I advise seeing a dentist or an orthodontists about it.

Then you shouldn't be afraid to show who you are, you want a guy who is going to like you for you! So, avoiding talking won't show the guy who you really are. You somehow need to become comfortable in your on skin, i'm not saying it will be easy but become more accepting of yourself and your confidence will grow... and let me tell you confidence is a major turn on for guys, they like girls who are confident. Well most do.

To get your teeth more white, there are some toothpastes that are designed to specifically make teeth whiter. I can't think of anything you can do at home... just keep brushing! And again seeing a dentist maybe they can suggest something...

And lastly, as I said i'm not a guy, but I don't think guys stare constantly at the teeth. I think you do it because you are self-conscious about your own teeth, so you worry more that other people do it.

Relax, and try and sort this out one step at a time. I still suggest seeing a dentist if this keeps bothering you.

Hope this helped! :)
