i don't really know, but on the programme "10 years younger" last week, a woman had hers done - they looked very hollywood - and they said it could cost anything around the �10,000 mark! Unbelievable i know. I paid close attention as it's something i long to have done myself. On the same programme this week a guy had his bleached by a cosmetic dentist and they looked wonderful - a mere snip at �300. they did say that you can buy the kits but the dentists do them ten times better and last much longer.

As for straightening - do you mean with a brace? It's just that my dentist told me there's not much point as an adult as your teeth will return to their original shape over a period of time anyway!

The woman i mentioned at the start of the answer had hers filed down to tiny points before they were capped (or similar) to be honest they were practically dentures. But they did look FABULOUS! good luck!

It depends on your dentist.  The only way to find out is to sit in their chair and ask them.  I was quoted �300 for home bleaching, or �500 for in the seat bleaching - but those prices will be out of date now.  In terms of straightening, you might have to wear a brace for a year and this can cost upwards of �400+, plus the ost of regular adjustments and checks.

In North American, to get your teeth Bleached its anywhere from 100-600$. I had braces and they were about 5,000$...but some are cheaper and some are more expensive...it all depeneds on how messed up your teeth are lol... But get your teeth whitened after you get braces because then you will have a beautiful straight smile!!!!

I disagree, get them straightened first as the brace will collect all kinds of dirt and grime which will need to be cleaned off by the dentist after the brace is removed.  When they are straight, then you can decide if you need them bleached or  not.  You have to avoid curries and red wine for a year, which was real hardship for my gf...!

The only way to straighten them to make them even (apart from a brace) is to have veneers put on the teeth.  This will make them an even length etc.  A veener does cost a couple of hundred i think (EACH)
