If there are overlapped teeth in front it can have a space discrepancy in the arch which has to be corrected by braces which you can avail at any dental college & hospital nearby whether govt or private (college) you may get treatment at affordable expenses. Other options are with removable appliances which usually are plate like and to be worn for a long time but the results are quite variable depending on the case. Kindly consult a govt hospital or a dental college nearby.

Plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens to create calculus (also known as tartar). Calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush; only a dental professional can remove it during an oral cleaning.
There are certain mineral combos those are used for cleaning teeth effectively but can not clean to the extent of removing thick tartar or stone.

Hello Lybrate user. The crooked teeth can be treated with orthodontic braces. The orthodontic treatment takes up to 1 to 2 years for complete cure. The cost of braces ranges from 16k to 25k.
The trimming of teeth more will cause sensitivity. Even after trimming due to malocclusions, the teeth come to previous position. I advice you not to become stressed and consult a general physician regarding the anxiety you have. Consult me for further details. Thank you.

If tartar presence is confirmed, it requires professional scaling by a dentist. It cannot be removed with the toothbrush. If you want to prevent tartar formation, make sure your brush reach the place where you see frequent tartar formation. Thus its formation can be prevented.
