I have ugly crooked teeth and need braces in Ireland

Q. I am a 20 year old who needs braces badly. I have severly crooked teeth and not only do they look so ugly they cause me severe tooth aches. It is too expensive for me to get braces in ROI (Republic of Ireland) as I am the youngest of six children and there is no money left in our family. I would like to know what my other options are. My teeth trouble me physically and mentally. I never smile. Please help in anyway you can.

A. Dear C

I am so sorry to hear your distress, it is very difficult to get orthodontic treatment as you older. A lot of private practices offer finance options for example ours does a two year 0 % interest and upto 5 years at low interest. This allows you you to spread the cost of any dentistry you want. As you say you are in pain I question whether orthodontics is the first treatment you should be having it would be important to get a full dental examination first as you may have some tooth decay, this would be needed to remedied before any orthodontics.

I hope this helps you.
