Cost of the treatment will vary according to your choice that is metallic braces, ceramic braces or Invisalign. Cost also depends on severity of your problem, your place of living and skill/ expertise of the operator. Your age is fine for the treatment. Regarding extraction, if there is less space between your teeth than required to move your teeth into desired position after treatment, extraction is done (1 to 4 teeth) to create space. This space is occupied by tooth movement during the procedure. If you have any other doubt you can contact us personally. Hope it will help you. THANK YOU.

A major cause of tooth sensitivity is root exposure. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations (full mouth x-ray) to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning along with desensitizing procedures and / or artificial enamel filling. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. Until then apply a desensitizing paste (sensodyne tooth paste) on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min until you brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight will be better. Dental tips: - visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

Going by your discription I think you are talking about upper jaw gums. If yes, then there is a procedure called depigmentation of gums. That black colour is usually due melanin which is responsible for skin colour. Check on internet or consult me or see your doc. Will be happy to help u.
