Can you give me an estimate as to how much it would cost me for more orthodontic treatment?

Q. Hi. I had braces when i was 11 and had them until i was 13. But my four front teeth at the bottom and my two top teeth have moved. Im 17 and i don’t want to have to wear braces again, due to the impact on my social life, as i’d get bullied again, Not ideal. Is there any estimate to how much this would cost me as i am desperate!,
A. I get patients coming to me for help with the same problem all the time. When you wear any form of braces- it is so importnat to wear a retainer at the end so that your teeth don’t move back into their original position like yours have. a retainer is a lifetime thing that you will always need to wear. You can get a fixed retainer which is a thin metal wire that sits on the back of your teeth to hold them in position, or a removable option that you can take in/out- initially every night and then you may cut it down to maybe one night a week afterwards. You have several options in straightening yur teeth again. You could choose a fixed brace – or ne that you can take in/out to eat etc. Ideally, you need to discuss this with your dentist- or alternatively, get a referral to an orthodontist. Good luck
