Is there any kind of dental or cosmetic work to improve my facial features?
Q. Hi i am a 29 year old woman and was born with a cleft palate which i had repaired at 11 months, i also had a lot of orthodontic work done from the age of 13 to 18 years, although there was a big difference to my teeth, my top teeth still sit just inside my bottom teeth and i feel this affects my facial features i am just wondering if there is any other kind of dental or cosmetic work i could have done to improve this and if so how much would it cost on the NHS or private
A. Hi many thanks for your email, it sounds as if your occlusion is class three, sometimes this can be corrected with restorative dentistry ie via crowns and veneers but a full assessment would first needed to be made. the cost of which could be as much as £20,000, alternatively you could have surgery to move the upper jaw over the lower jaw. hope this is helpful.
