Hi, My teeth aren’t that bad, only 2 of them are being pushed back which makes them look wonkey… But its always been a problem, i hate my teeth… But im going into jobs that presentation is everything and I really can’t have braces, Is there anyway I could get them straightened on the NHS without getting full on braces? I haven’t got the money to pay for invisalign or Clearstep
Dear Dr.,
I am a female 25 years old and i have tonsillitis. i went to dentist to put orthodontic braces and the doctor told me that i have to make a surgery to remove the Tonsils first otherwise even if i straighten my teeth now, it will get crooked again. Is that true? and do i really need to make that surgery? I hope you can help me. Thank you
hi is there only a certain amount a brace can straighten your teeth? i payed alot of money to have a brace and now just over a year the orthadontist said its time come off nothing more they can do but my teeth dont even look straight.
I’m an international student who had braces in my home country, and am interested in maintaining my braces while i’m in the UK. Am i covered by NHS? If not, how much would i have to pay for each session?
how much to have a brace fitted
Hi
I am 30 and 10 months ago I started orthodontic treatment with damon brackets. At first I was diligent with cleaning but as the novelty wore off the cleaning became gradually worse.
I am now worried about decalcification. Although I do have them professionally cleaned about every three months.
I explained my concern to my dentist who said they looked clean and I wouldn’t know if I have any white spots until my braces are removed in about a year.
I haven’t mentioned it to my Ortho.
I thought that the white marks appeared around the brackets and so I should be able to see if I have them. On inspection in good light I can’t see anything.
My question is if I can’t see any marks now does that mean I can still prevent decalcification? or do I have to wait (a year) and see.
Thank you for your time
Hi doctor!
