Hi Tyra, I have become anti-social over the last 10yrs, because of my teeth. 10yrs ago we had a handicapped child who was born with hypoglycemia with a seizure dissorder, our child needed 24hr care and so i quit my job and became a stay at home dad. I have 3 beautiful children and have always been a family man, there's nothing I wouldn't do for my family. I hate not being able to laugh, eat meat, or just be myself in and around people because of my teeth. They are that bad. I tryed to go to church because I feel that these kinda people wouldn't judge me but I feel my self esteem so low I can't be myself. I WISH I could get all my teeth pulled and have new ones like dental implants or something. I'm a truckdriver by trade so I've been able to keep a distance even in my job but I HATE not being able to go out and have a good time because I LOVE TO LAUGH, and smile, sometimes I FEAR I will be like this until the end can you help me.
sincerely Don Wallace

Hello,
I'm 39 years old with 2 children. When I was young I fell down allot which caused my teeth to shift. Right now they are so bad my mouth hurts all the time it's hard for my to even close my mouth. Sleeping at night is really not good for me because of the problem I have with my teeth. I did go to a dentist to get an estimate and was told it will cost $10,000 dollars out of pocket. I don't have this kind of money and need help.

Hi, I'm 29 years old and have had extensive dental work in the past that is failing. I work in an oral surgeons office and I'm a very happy smiley person. It's embarassing in my profession to not have good teeth. I am currently living at home with my parents and helping them to pay the bills since my father has been unemployed for quite a while. I cannot afford dental work and am in constant pain because of it. Both physically and emotionally. I am too young to have the problems I have. My front right central and lateral incisors need work and hurt every day. I have two implants on the lower right that I cannot afford crowns for. My upper right crowns need to be replaced and there is boneloss in that area. I am embarassed to smile, especially at work. This is something that is on my mind 24/7. Any help would truly be appreciated and help me feel like a whole person again. Thank you for listening.

Hi Tyra,
This is my second tme writing you ad i came across this site so i gave it a shot. I'm lost mentally, ph tyically, and emotionally. I have no where to turn and i'm praying that someone hears my cries. I was molested my whole life by my mom's boyfriend and she knew about it. I felt like since she didn't care y should I and i literally stopped taking care of myself at a young age(not to mention we never had dental insurace). I have been to school time and have my M.A and CNA n want to go back to finish the RN program. I have 3 kids and i am a single parent who can't even make ends meet as it is. My kids have never seen me smile. Honestly i am in to much pain on a daily basic to do anything. I am ashamed at the amount of pills i take on a daily basis. I take 4 tylenol wth codine. I take 4 500mg of Naproxen. I take 4 Ultram or whatever else i have. I am not asking for anything fancy i just wanna smile.

I am too young to have these dental problems that cause major migranes but I do, primarily due to malntirion for me it happened during my pregnancy with my first child but didn't quite breaking down until I had my second child in the hospital room during labor. Being a single parent money was always an issue but I decided that I had to go back to school so my career would pay for the extensive dental procedures necessary for me to have a better smile and idealy improve my health and heart. Honestly because of this insecurity the true me has been locked away and feel as though if you were to broadcast this and put it the air I would be to shy to go threw with it. Seriously I watched Extreme Makeover since day one researched their makeover dentist's background and still have not contacted them.
I guess pain is something I 've ben dealing with for years, I'd like it to stop both emotionally and physically.

Hi TYRA I cant believe im actually writing this because my heart is pounding like your right here in font of me.I am 26 years old,and am from the beautiful shores of Nassau, Bahamas.I consider myself to be very fierce and outgoing, but for the past year the only thing ive been is stressed and depressed. I've recently lost my job, and i have an amazing two year old boy to support.However weeks will past without me having a single dollar to my name. I try my hardest not to toll my family and friends with my problems so i just Hhide everything and pretend as if im doing just fine. But living a second life is really taking an effect on me physiccally and emotionally.
Before the birth of my child I found out that I was anemic nad during the past 18 months I have lost more than half of my theeth in my mouth. Out of 32 theeth I have lost 20 and I woke up this morning to find out that Im soon to loose a next one real soon, and to make matters worst its in the very front of my mouth.My front thooth is cracked in half. Tyra i dont know what to do or who to turn to.
I cant even picture myself leaving the house like this. I want to find a new job but im so ashame to go on interviews, and I keep avoding my friends calls cause I dont want them to see me like this.
Tyra ive seen from above that you have many cries for help every single day, and i know that you cant save the world even though you wish you could. However i pray to God that you can save me. I pray that you may listen to my cry and help me because , God knows i need your help right now. TYRA PLEASE PLEASE HELP MEEE AND MY CHILDS FUTURE!!!!

My teeth are probably the worst many have seen. I have had a partial for 5 years now and it was only supposed to be a temp until I could get work done. Problem is I had lost my job and am so far behind I can't afford to get them fixed. I was warned by my previous dentist that I can end up with serious health issues and that does scare me. I know they all need to come out and I need dentures. I just don't see ever being able to afford it. I can't even talk to people because I feel they are staring at my mouth. Please help. I am lost

Hi! I am a 31 year old mother...of seven! I have three beautiful daughters of my own and four wonderful soon-to-be stepchildren. I'm getting married to the love of my life and we are planning towards a May (2010) wedding. My problem is my teeth. I've had problems with my teeth for years now. I had fillings put in nearly all of my teeth when I was about 12 years old. Over the years I have lost a lot of these fillings and my teeth are in bad shape. I've had a little work done here and there at the dental clinic where I live, but there is still so much that needs to be done. I can't afford to get what I need done and I have had two of my teeth causing me a lot of pain. Not to mention, I'm embarassed by my smile. This has seriously effected my self esteem. If there is any way you could help me get my teeth fixed I would be so thankful. I want to be able to smile and laugh with my family and friends without embarassment, especially on my wedding day. I want to be the beautiful bride-if I can't even smile at my own wedding without feeling insecure then how can I really enjoy the best day of my life? I appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi Tyra,

Let me get straight to the point. I'm a mom of two an eight and nineteen years old children. I work full-time as a monitor tech interpreting heart rhythms, and I go to school full-time to get a BSN in Nursing. I love helping people and I'm a giving person. When I talk to people though I'm afraid to smile because of the condition my teeth are in I do the best that I can with cleaning them but the structure sometimes makes me struggle with my outside beauty. I know that I'm pretty on the inside because of my faith but I feel that if I could get help with my teeth I could offer just as much beauty outside as of inside with the encouraging words that I give. I'm asking you to help me to be a smiling face for so many people who need a smile.

Love you!

For what i would give to have the whole works done to my teeth! I pray one day that I may have a smile just like yours Tyra Banks! To have a smile just like yours would mean more then the world to me. To make a difference by just smiling each day would be huge! Right now i feel like I'm going through a mid-life crisis at the age of only twenty-five due to only this issue. i just started a new opportunity called Dotcomwireless.com(a cell-phone company) and I'am so really to change my family cycle of living life by becoming one of the next 12vps in the company but my self-esteem isn't quite letting me do so. Having my grand opening would be the happiest day of my life if I could just express it with one smile. Will u help me Tyra please pretty please! help me to make my family proud by giving me a Hollywood smile so it may help me in helping others!! Greatly appreciated Maria Cruz

Hey Tyra! - You're the best.

I don't watch TV too much, but I got to recently catch some of your show about young teens who think they're ready to wed or have babies. Wow. Unbelievable and revealing. Way to go!

About me - I'm like the woman who commented before me - In serious need of dental work I can't even begin to afford. I'm a 34 year old full time manager of a small cafe in Philly. I feel I was adopted at 3 months with bad teeth, and over the years they've been falling apart. I'm a good looking guy, but I can't begin to tell you how I feel about smiling. I'd gladly share anything about my story that you'd like - and I know it's probably a long shot - but, is there anyway you can help me??

Hi Tyra,
I love your show.
Somehow i got onto this site with people not liking their smiles so i thought i may as well comment on how mine is.
I am a divorced mum of 2 kids,all my life i have had bucked teeth which i hate.I have alot of other medical problems which have came first and i dont have money to get the perfect smile that i have always wanted.
I dont get my picture taken and people think im stuck up because i dont smile when they are talkin to me.
I try to avoid social situations so i dont have to smile .I wanna smile on the outside as much as i do on the inside.If i had a beautiful smile it would totally change my life dramatically,soon my kids are going to be big and i havent got any photos taken with them.
With everything i have gone through throughout my life i truly deserve to have something wonderful happen maybe oneday soon.
Thanks
Kate

Hi Tyra! My names Mallory, I'm 16, and Ive always loved you and your show! My problem is I never smile.. and every time I do in rare occasions I'm completely self conscious and feel ugly like people are staring at my teeth. I only have one or two problem teeth but i feel like they ruin my whole smile. I've been to a dentist once before and they said even a retainer might fix my problems and I have gorgeous teeth, if only they were straightened a little bit. Ive even been told a lot i should be a model actually.. I'm tall and been told i have the right face. Problem is i have no money.. if i had a confident smile i feel it would change my life for the better and improve my very low self esteem. Tyra please help me! all my life ive suffered from this and I really cant take it anymore..
Always, Mallory

Ms Tyra, Don't know how I stumbled across this site...all praises to God our Father. I'm 43 (don't look it)and due to my fear of the dentist & to top it off no dental insurance or money to pay for dental expences, my teeth have gone to crap! They are so bad its to the point im pulling out my own teeth beacuse of pain & decay. I REALLY don't want this anymore. I speak with the public daily and, well, bad teeth and bad breath can "kill the deal" and my job is to seal the deal. I have often prayed that if I got a second chance at a new mouth, I promised God I would not ruin the blessing with fear. (Geez, I'm in tears now.) I told my children once they (my teeth) start falling out the front of my mouth, I could not ever leave the house again. Please help me. Please.
