Most of us at one time or another has suffered from bad teeth. This can be quite painful, of course, and we run to the specialist when this happens.

In days gone by, many people would just suffer with their teeth since there was no real treatment but to just extract them.

Along with the usual crowns and fillings that we are used to, there are some clever ideas which not only save the teeth but make them look better too. When we had crooked teeth or ones that produced an overbite over the lower set, we often had to be fitted with a metal and wire contraption which literally forced the teeth back into line. Many a school kid would be totally embarrassed about sporting this for a number of years and would often turn not an introverted adult because of this.

Now there are removable plastic fittings which are made in see through materials.
