A. Thanks for your questions, unfortunately the Inman aligner is a private Orthodontic treatment, and is not available through the NHS, despite the fact that you are still in full time education.

Q. i seem to have a habbit of pushing my front teeth with my tongue and then pushing them back again and now, i find myself doing it all day without realizing it and now i think one of my front teeth are shaky, it seems to move a bit more now, out of place when i push it and instead of stopping, i do it alot more now to see if it really is shaky or not. im terrified as im only 21. what can i do if they fall out? i also grind my back teeth in my sleep and during the day which is a new thing during the day. what are dental implants? are they screw ins? if my teeth come out could i get them on nhs? in the morning i feel as though if i just push my teeth theyl pop out so i try to avoid doing that 1st thing in the morning. im terrified on dental jags so cant go to dentist, i would go if i could get put to sleep tho, please help
A. Start by forcing yourself to visit 3 different practices that seem friendly to anxious patients. You can be adamant that you only want an opinion not treatment. ( check prices for assesment before you go )
One of them will feel better and more in tune with you. Then start with some simple treatment to boost your confidence.

Q. At the age of 15 I had four teeth removed and was given a temporary brace to move my teeth, then a fixed brace on my lower teeth for 9 months and one on my top teeth for only 2 months. My teeth were never completely straight at the time I had the brace removed and I stated my worries to the orthodontist. He ignored my request to keep the braces on longer. When removing the braces he cut my gums severely and did not polish them afterwards. I was given a retainer to wear and was never invited to a check up. I have expressed my concerns to my NHS dentist as I have marks on my teeth from the braces and my top teeth sit slightly behind my two front teeth. I am 18 now and a student I would really like the perfect smile I thought I was getting. Is there any way I can be referred to get the treatment I should have got at the younger age? Thank you for your time.
A. You are limited as the NHS will not treat you for mior discrepencies

Q. I was wondering i would be able to get vaneers or implants done on the nhs as my two front teeth at the bottom have formed a gap as all my bottom teeth used to be perfectly straight and no gaps until i became addicted to coca cola and i would like the replacements to look like my own instead of having dentures like old people have as i am only 30 years of age and as an adult would i be able to have a brace fitted to my top teeth on the nhs as i have got gaps between my teeth that i would like closed up.
A. Thanks for your questions, it may be possible to have veneers on the NHS if they are clinically necessary. However, if there is no clinical need for them, then it would be deemed as cosmetic, and therefore would not be available on the NHS. If this is the case, your dentist may be able to offer a bridge as an alternative to a denture. This would depend on the stability and health of the teeth on either side of the gap. In order to fit a bridge, you would have the teeth on either side of the gap prepared for crowns, and the laboratory would attach a false tooth to the two crowns. This three unit bridge would then be fitted. I hope this helps.

Q. I have had braces and yet i have a small gap between my two front teeth, my orthadontist said i should go and see my dentist for bonding or venners as there is nothing else she can do. i was just wondering which technique is better and longer lasting and if they are stain resistant. Also i may consider home teeth whitening kits, and was wondering if they the veneers or the bonding will whiten also. morevover can you please tell me the NHS prices fro these and if there is a significant reduction in prices if you are a university student.
A. Thanks for your enquiry, firstly these procedures would be classed as cosmetic, and so would probably not be available on the NHS. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, then I would encourage you to do this before you have any restorations placed on your teeth, as whitening only works on your natural tooth. The material which is then used would be matched to the whitened shade of your teeth. There are benefits to both tooth bonding and to veneers, as tooth bonding is a less invasive treatment however veneers would lead to a more aesthetically pleasing result in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Q. Dear Rob, I have lost about half of my teeth. I had a set of dentures made up a couple of years ago, but find them impossible to wear, they are extremely uncomfortable. To compound this problem, all of my front teeth were damaged in an accident a number of years ago, and i have a habit of grinding what remains of them. The are becoming quite ‘threadbare’ and sensitive. I am also not in a position to fund the extensive dental surgery I would require to prevent further damage. I believe there are certain criteria that the NHS would consider adequate medical justification for funding implants, and I was wondering if a patient such as myself would fall into this group. Please advise. Many thanks,
A. Your local dental hospital is the best port of call to find out local provision

Q. hi im on benefits and really not happy with my teeth i have to fang teeth and there not really streight how would i go about having a celebrity smile thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend that you attend a cosmetic dental practice for a consultation. there are practices which offer a free initial consltation, to enable you to discuss the treatments which would be necessary to acheive the results you desire, without any financial commitment. Many practices now offer interest free credit to enable you to spread the costs.

Q. I have a major problem with my smile, i’m 26 and my 2 front teeth overlap, when i turn to the sides and smile it looks like i have straight teeth till i stand face on, Also i have the same problem with my bottom front teeth as they too are crooked so its very rarely i have pictures taken. Is there anything i can have done but the thing is i’m on benefits so something that can be done on the Nhs if its possible, Thanks
A. Thanks for your questions. It is possible that either Orthodontics, braces etc., or veneers could possibly correct your problems. However these procedures are considered as cosmetic, and as a result of this, it is unlikely that they would be funded by the NHS. You may wish to considered visiting a cosmetic dentist who offers free initial consultations, as many are able to offer payment plans to spread the cost. I hope this helps.

Q. hi, i am 14 and my bottom teeth are really crowded and crukid but my top teeth are slightly crukid but my two front teeth stick cus my teeth are going under my two front teeth… do i need braces?
A. Thanks for yur questions, it sounds like you may be suitable for brace treatment. You General dentist should be able to refer you to an Orthodontist for assessment on the NHS. The Orthodontist will then be able to tell you whether it is a case that fits the guidelines for NHS treatment. I hope this helps

Q. Hi i was wondering if you could help me? II desperatly need to get cosmetic dentistry and was wondering if i could get it done on the NHS? I have no adult lateral incisors only baby ones and one of them has come out but the other one is still there and i desperatly dont want it to come out but i know that eventually it will. It makes my mouth look horrible and i hate smiling and laughing in front of people because im ashamed of what my smile looks like as soon as i open my mouth. i really affects my self asteem and it is hard to bite into things in case i knock out the remaining tooth. I have been wanting to persue in modeling as well and i have been accepted with pictures i have sent in but my mouth is allways closed in my photos and i am certain that if i go for an interview as soon as i open my mouth they will show me the door again. I am desperate to get my mouth corrected as it is making me very unhappy. please write back soon.
A.
Thanks for your questions, unforunately there are very few cases when a patient will be able to undergo cosmetic dentistry on the NHS. You may wish to consider attending a private practice for a free initial consultation, which many offer, as this would enable you to get an idea of the costs of the treatment you desire. Many of these practices will be able to offer payment options such as interest free credit, to help you spread the cost. I hope this helps.

Q. thanks for taking the time to read this. basically i had an accident while playing football which has led to me losing over half of one of my front teeth and the other front tooth being pushed back out of place. also along with that my bottom teeth are quite covered in plaque and rotten due to many a years cola drinking without looking after my teeth and they have become quite rotted and were also slightly pushed back in the accident and feel quite sore. ive not had a dental visit for 12 yrs until i had emergency surgery the day after the accident and all the dentist did was pull my front tooth forward again and glue it to the tooth next to it aswell as to the snapped tooth which he appears to have just covered in glue aswell to stop me cutting my mouth open on. i really dont like the sound of having false teeth put in place as my front teeth top ot bottom but it seems i may lose most of them if this repair work wasnt successful and if my bottom front teeth cant be saved. what are my options as im a unemployed nhs dental user. thanks for yor time
A. Thanks for your questions, I’m sorry to hear about your recent trauma. If you are unfortunate and do have to lose some of your teeth, dentures may not be the only option available to you. It would depend on the stability of the healthy teeth either side of your gap, but you may be able to have a bridge. A bridge is made by putting crowns on the teeth at either side of the gap and then joining the two crowns together by attaching a false tooth in between them. However sometimes the dentist will advise that you have a temporary denture in place for a while after you lose the teeth to allow for the healing process. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question, unfortunately your dentist is correct in that it is very unlikely that you would qualify for Orthodontic treatment on the NHS. Many practices do offer payment plans for private treatment, which would help you to spread the cost but this may be difficult without an income.

Q. At the moment I have a 4 tooth bridge which is at the front on my upper teeth. It is a hinge which I have been told is broken so at the moment this is only supported on the one side which is on a post. I have been told by 2 dentists that as this is a large bridge I will now have to have a denture which although not happy have accepted this is the only solution. My problem that before I had my bridge had a plate and as have a strong gag reflex didn’t not get on with this at all also when I was eating it shifted as was most uncomfortable. I have been shown a denture that is metal and doesn’t seem to cover the roof of my mouth would this be a better option than the normal partial acrylic denture for me? I have been told that this is not available on the NHS? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
A. hi many thanks for your email, my advice is to think about dental implants which are fixed and do not require a plate. the cost of a four unit bridge on two implants are approx £5000. msny practices do offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment.

A. An implant would work well but it is unlikely that you would be able to have an implant on the NHS. You will also need to make sure your gum disease is controlled before considering a replacement tooth.
