Hi i’m 17 and i have multiple gaps in my teeth that are right next to each other my teeth are straight and i have a small overbite(which isn’t a problem), there are 11 gaps in my teeth, 5 in the top teeth and 6 in the bottom, the 4 in the top are the ones I am more worried about. the ones in the top range from 1mm to 3.5mm and they are all next to each other and the bottom gaps are smaller except for a 2.5mm gap between the premolar and canine tooth. My orthodontist didn’t recommend braces because he said there was a high chance of gaps coming straight back and i can’t afford to spend a lot of money on something that isn’t right for me. Is there anything you would recommend i do or look into? I’ve heard of so many things like veneers of all different kinds, invisalign, orthordill and other teeth bands, also i know that some of these treatments are expensive is there anyway i could reduce the cost? i know that it isn’t very likely but, I’ve been wanting to do something about my teeth since i was 14 and i knew the gaps weren’t going away. The main reason i want to do this now is because i’m going to university next year and i would really love to have a more confident smile when meeting new people and making new friends, i dont want to labeled the silent or shy girl because I keep my mouth shut because I’m not shy but my teeth hold me back and have been for several years. Any advice will be REALLY appreciated.

Hi there Dr Rob

i was wondering if i could get a quick estimate? how much roughly would lingual six month smile braces cost. I’ve found estimates for normal six month smiles in a place in Birmingham for around £1400, im not sure if this would be an accurate quote. i was wondering whether the cost of lingual six month braces normally be considerably higher than this? Ive been online and have seen both the dental suites in leicester as well as one in loughborough are advertising that they do this type of lingual six month smile treatment. i was hoping you would you know of any place in/around birmingham who also offer this service?

hi there I’ve been looking on this website and reading thru and looking at the before and after pictures and think they are excellent. i’m 20 years old and i was wondering if you could help me out with a rough price range i have all my teeth except 2 gone from the side of my mouth on the left hand side, & one on the other side of my mouth right hand side, i also think that my teeth are a tad too far apart i have small but noticeable gaps in-between my front teeth and side, also they need whitening. I just want my teeth looking perfect. Kind regards 

hello there doctor sunita. I was just wondering if you could help me in my problem that I have For a while now i have been very paranoid about the way my teeth look because they are all full of tooth gaps and have chips out of them and they actually get me really down at times i hate smiling because they look horrible , i was thinking of having dental veneers done but i couldnt afford them so i was wondering if there is any chance i could have them done on the nhs or even have some of the bill payed for me. I am twenty two years old and work part time so if you could help me in any way that would be great thank you

Hi,

When I was in my teens I was told I had perfect teeth. However, I have developed bruxism. I’m not sure when it happened but I became aware that it was affecting teeth about 4 years ago, I am 27 now. My two front teeth have worn down and I now never smile with my teeth as I am embaressed about my teeth. I visited my dentist a year ago having tried to ignore it for a few years. I was told that there was nothing I could do but get a mouth guard. I’ve been using over the counter mouth guards now for a year, but I don’t want to have to do that for the rest of my life and I also like to have my teeth fixed as I think they look so short, they are now not connecting with my bottom teeth I have noticed recently. I’m thinking of visit my doctor to see if he could refer me to anyone. Could you please offer any advice as it is really affecting my confidence and everyday life.

Thanks

Hi there i am 26 with a terrible smile, due to lack of care my teeth are in bad condition, added to this i have an overbite which i hate i would love some kind of smile makeover but am not sure although i have all of my teeth i was considering getting them removed and dental implants as i dont think my teeth would be in good enough condition for veneers. i am sooo unconfident in myself as a result of my awful smile and would be grateful for any advice.

Hi
I have some problem with my teeth in terms of irregular shape and size. In my 25 years of my life i never had a single picture with a smile were iam showing my teeth. people ask me to smile more often which i never do. Even if i have smile when talking to someone it is just a forced smile. I don’t really like to smile with my teeth i have because i feel that its looks so wired. I really really have a smiling problem. i want to fix my teeth to help build my confidence level up so then i can smile and be happy about it, as it’s really affecting my life with how my smile is right now.  Hope you can understand my problem and help me further many thanks

Dear Doctor Verma

I had crown on one of the front tooth that broke down. I have absolutely no money to fix this with the HIGH Lonodn’s prices. I can not walk with my bone exposed for any longer and dental cement or even super glue are not working any more. I need help

Please tel me where can I go to fix my tooth with discount or plan or any other way that is financial possible. Paying £400 is way out of my budget.

Thank you.
