Are dentures the only option to fix my teeth? I don’t want dentures as I am only 35!

Q. Hi. I have had problems with my teeth for many years. It all started when I went to my dentist when I was about 14 with crooked teeth at the front. My parents were advised that my back teeth were not strong enough for the type of braces that were available then and he said my teeth would straighten up when I got older. Bad dentist. I am now 35 and have many problems with my teeth and its just getting worse. I dont drink or take drugs, I work hard and clean my teeth as well as I can but with the problems I have its just getting worse. I now have some missing teeth, underbite and many more problems. I would love to be able to smile again without feeling ashamed. The price for sorting out my teeth is totally unaffordable. I dont earn enough to get the financing from the dentist. I cant get any help with that either. My only option is to go for dentures which I really dont want at 35 ! Do I have any other choices ?I would be very grateful for any advice you may have.,
A. You will need to get to the cause of the missing teeth , decay will need a different answer to gum disease. Teaching Hospitals can sometimes help as treatment is free in most cases. Rob
