My teeth are gappy after braces treatment because I stopped wearing retainers. What do you advise?
Q.
I’m 16 and I had braces about 2 years ago and wore my retainers and then stopped wearing them as I lost them and buying new ones was at an expensive price and my teeth are now gappy at the top (My bottom teeth are still very straight). I have a gap between my front teeth of about half of 1mm and I would really like to get braces again on the NHS as I really do not like the look of my top teeth (but I cannot afford to pay a lot of money) and wondered if getting braces again would be possible or if there were some way to close my front two teeth again without paying alot of money I would really grateful. Thank you

I would advise that you go back to your NHS dentist/orthodontist and ask for advice as you may be still able to receive treatment on the NHS due to your age. I am not familiar with the NHS regulations as I only carry out private treatment so you should check
