@Memoona Farooq It's good that you increased brushing your teeth. Sorry to hear you are dealing with these issues though. I worry about how my teeth look too sometimes, what helps me is to realize that in daily life most people don't look at other people too closely, and don't really care about details like their teeth. If you look around on this site there might be some pages that could have useful information. I thought I would put a few links to them here in case it helps you.
