A. Hi there, I can understand your dilemma. Feeling self conscious about your teeth/smile is a common theme I see on a daily basis in my practice. You are a young lady and rightly deserve to have the smile of your dreams especially since you are delaying one of the most important days of your life,your wedding day,until you feel better about your teeth. Orthodontics is not available to adults so you will have to fund the treatment.If you are in the London area,I would be more than happy for you to book a consultation with me as we offer a specialist orthodontic service. My practice number is 0208 567 4344. Kind regards, Sunita
