Q. I used to have a brace when I was 14, I am now 25. There are no NHS dentits available in my area (Nottingham) so haven’t been able to see a dentist for around 2 years. My teeth used to be straight, but my Left tooth is now crossing over my right one and is very noticeable. Its really starting to worry me that my tooth might falling out as it seems to be pushing the right tooth back. What would be the best way to sort this out. I don’t have alot of money and can not find a dentist anywhere near I live.
A. It is a common problem that I see on a daily basis. People who have had braces when they were younger and the teeth have moved back.
This is because:
1. They were not given any form of retainer to wear
2. they failed to wear their retainer after treatment had finished.
You need some form of orthodontic treatment to push you teet back into a staright position. the only problem that you have is that it costs. The NHS will no longer provide you with a brace as you are over the age limit- so you will have to pay if this is what you want.
Hope this has helped and good luck.
