Is it possible to treat the stains on misaligned teeth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 21 years old. Since childhood, some of my teeth have been sort of crisscrossed. So the accumulation of food has led to yellow spots in some places. I brush once a day, but properly. I consulted a dentist, and she suggested that I get my teeth cleaned. But that is not a permanent solution. What can I do for permanent white and well-aligned teeth?

Kindly guide.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your teeth are actually crowded. So, deposition of food and stains has led to these brown marks on your teeth. You can opt for scaling and polishing, and brush your teeth twice daily. The second option is veneering. Now let me ask you some questions. Are you a frequent user of some tea, coffee or other beverages? Are you taking any medicines regularly? If yes, all these can cause marks to appear again. Also, for proper alignment of your teeth, you can go for a fixed orthodontic treatment, or you can also use aligners if there is only a small difference in alignment.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
