Hello everyone, i'm 23 years old and my teeth are overcrowded, mainly the top ones (a tooth underneath a fang, the fang itself and one of the front teeth). I've had numerous problems in the past, having numerous fillings etc, although at my check up last week my dentist said that my oral technique as improved quite a lot but it seems he's hesitant to refer me to an orthodontist.
My teeth are making me feel anxious, feeling that my teeth are becoming loose when infact i know this as caused by the anxiety, plus my wisdom teeth have almost fully came through so feel as though my teeth are somewhat squashed together
. This is really affecting my confidence and feel now as if nothing more can be done, it's awful.
All i want is an assessment/consultation, sometimes it feels as if nothing can be done to correct my smile but then i look at other people who have similar problems and see that this problem can be corrected. In my local area i've contacted numerous orthodontists who all seem to want a referral from my dentist.
Can anyone recommend any reputable orthodontists in the West Midlands area who can offer me a assessment/consultation? Walsall area would be preferable, although i understand i may need to travel further afield to get better results, so Birmingham (close to the city centre) would also be an option.
If you need anymore information then please ask.
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
