How much do braces cost?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

hiya. iv been looking into getting braces for a while now but didnt realise how expensive they can be! im 23 years old, and my teeth are slightly crowded. im thinking if having braces fitted as iv noticed that my one tooth on one side has slowly started to move back, and i dont want this to happen to my other teeth. i was jus emailing to ask a rough price guide for braces that you offer? i no its difficult to say without having assessed my teeth, but i was jus looking for a rough price guide, including one for the 6 months smile i think it was.
thanks,

Would I be able to have two sets of braces from two different orthodonists, one private, one NHS?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am hoping to get NHS braces on my lower teeth (I am under 18) and six month smile braces for the upper teeth at the same time, but at different practices. Would the orthodontist object to this, and is it likely that they will insist that I complete one treatment first before starting the other?
Thanks in advance.

I am worried that teeth extraction and braces may not be the best option for my teeth, what advice can you give?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hello again. Thanks for replying to my concerns of lower incisor extraction! Yes in answer to your question of ortho treatment. I currently have a fixed appliance on the lower anterior teeth (3 remaining incisors 2 canines and 2 premolars) Very discouraging to hear I night have to wear 2 lots of retainers and there is stil a chance of relapse. I was’nt told any of this by the ortho and if I had been would NEVER have gone ahead with the extraction and left my teeth alone. Surely it is the duty of the ortho to put the risks of treatment to the patient beforehand so an informed decision can be made by the patient. I,m so low at this time. Is there another option if I abandon thse fixed appliances and get the gap sorted out some other way and have bone graft to fill the socket. I’m terrified of losing my lower teeth! Had the braces on for 5and a half weeks!
Thankyou

What can you suggest for someone who needs braces, has very little money and cannot recieve them on the NHS?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

I have a number of problems with my teeth, I have a tooth that is set back from the rest of my teeth and my top teeth overlap my bottom teeth. I feel that I need braces or some form of teeth straightening. The issue is that I am 24, nearly 25 years old so I would probably have to pay for treatment and as I am currently in reciept of benefits I wouldn’t be able to afford. I am desperate to have my teeth straightened though as they have affected my confidence for most of my life. Please could you give me some advice?

My doctor has suggest two option to create my perfect smile, a brace or root canal surgery. Which is the better option?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi
I have been having consultations with a dentits. He was going to fit several crowns and veneers with a bridge to create a perfect smile. However he has said today after taking molds that one of my teeth is too crooked and that really I need braces onit. I cant afford this and it would take years. He said the only alternative was to do a root canal kill off the tooth and put a porcelain veneer on top, he said there were risks and it was un ethical, but as I still seemed interested he would do it for me. To me any type of purely cosmetric dentistry is invasive and could be seen as unethical. Do you think it is ok to carry on with this? inorder to achieve what I set out to do or is it too much of a risk? Many thanks
