Are train track braces the best option to move my teeth forward, and is surgery the only way to correct lower jaw alignment?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
I am 24 years old and I want to straighten my bottom teeth as they have been pushed back from sucking my thumb as a child. My top teeth are fine. I had an intial consultation with an orthodontists who has informed me i will need train tracks braces for approximately 6-12 months as other braces are not suitable for the type of movement needed. I have been quoted between £3500 and £4000 plus another £400 for inital x-rays and pictures to determine exact tretment needed. Is this price about right? i was thinking it would be more like £2500 all in so was wondering whether to pay for a second consoltation elsewhere? (i live in south of England- Southampton area). Could you give me an indication of price (i know cases vary)? Also he said my lower jaw has slightly moved back and to get a perfect alignement this would need to be corrected- is surgery the only method? if it is i am not interested in having this done.,

My teeth are severely damaged after a car accident. Should I wait to get braces until my bite is sorted? Are braces suitable for traumatised teeth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr. Verma, I was recently hit by a car and sustained various injuries, including on my front teeth. One of the front teeth has moved inwards and has a crease on the surface.  My dentist cannot ascertain whether it is just a crease in the enamel or a deeper one. From the x-rays taken, it does not appear that the two front teeth affected are dead, but I have been told by my dentist that the one that has been hit the most may well fall in the future. To make matters worse, because the front teeth have moved, I am unable to bite properly.  I have done a lot of research online and am aware there are various ways to straighten my teeth, including Damon braces, Inman aligners, invisalign etc.  Is it advisable to use braces/aligners on traumatised teeth?  Is there a period of time I should wait before I can do so?  Would you recommend that I have a root canal and a crown at the first instance to get my bite sorted?  Is there a way I can strengthen the enamel of my front teeth, i.e. enamel coating etc?  What would you advise is the best course of action?  Many thanks for your time and help.,

I have been waiting for braces for over three years. I am now 19. Will I have to pay for them on the NHS?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am just wondering about braces on the NHS. I have been on a waiting list for over 3 and a half years, and they have now contacted me, saying that I can go for an appointment with them within the next 3 months. My issue is, that I am now 19 and a half. Will I have to pay for my braces, even though I have been on the waiting list since I was 16, before turning 18? Thanks,
