I used to have braces when I was 16, I am 30 now and would like to use the invisable braces as some of my teeth have moved over the years.
Please advise how much do you think this will cost?
thanks
My 13 yr old daughter is new to braces (about 4 mths) and her tongue is badly indented – is this normal & will it repair at all??
i was wondering how much it would cost for get my gaps sorted i have alot of gaps 3 and a small tooth at the back
I am now 37 and all through my life and two pregnancies my dentist said I had very healthy teeth. Now I have 6 very crooked teeth on the bottom and they cross over alot. I am very concerned about it and try not too show them so when I smile I just raise the corners of my mouth. Also my front two teeth have always been fab but now they are looking transparent and have visible lines that I notice when I look in the mirror. My dentist said it was due to my age! Please help and tell me what can be done to straighten my crooked teeth. They cross over by nearly a third in 1 or 2 places so I think braces is out of the question.

hi i am pregnant and my canine teeth which were previously straightened with a brace have started to move upwards to where they were originally . what treatment would be most suitable to stop them moving further and to correct them . would i be exempt from paying ?
Hi Dr. Hughes.
I am 17 years old and have had braces for about a year now. In December (hopefully) I am due to undergo surgery to correct my underbite. They plan to put plates into my top jaw to widen it and therefore bring it in line with my lower jaw which is not being operated on. Although I am fairly confident about the surgery, I have seen some scary pictures statistics and possible risks over the internet which have worried me. Please could you tell me how bad the recovery process will be and what are the risks in the surgery? thank- you
Dear Dr. Moore,
I am researching my options, learning more about my circumstances and would very much appreciate you opinion on my teeth and underbite.
I am 43 years old and have reluctantly tolerated my underbite all my life. For various reasons I was advised not to have orthodontic treatment in my teens. It was a choice I didn’t make but one I very much regret. My teeth are small, badly formed with many missing teeth. To rectify this I have 3 bridges which incorporate most of my upper jaw. (One is 25 years old and is 6 teeth long, but has stood the test of time!). The teeth on my bottom jaw are tiny (still milk?, unsure), with many gaps and missing teeth. My front teeth touch together to smile but to chew and, for my back teeth to meet, my lower jaw has to protrude to the point where all the bottom teeth overlap the top teeth and the edge of my bottom teeth rubs aginst my upper lip. I dream of a nice smile with no underbite. A few questions you may be able to help me with if possible. Am I too old to have anything done? Would indeed anything be possible considering my upper jaw is mainly bridges? What treatment would be available to me? What are the likely costs? I understand that only after examination an accurate indication can be given, but a rough idea would perhaps try and help me reach the decision as to whether this is a route I want to pursue once and for all. Or do I just carry on being me (which isn’t too bad) with an underbite but reluctant to smile?
Many thanks
Kind regards
Marina
Hello Dr.Moore,
I had fixed braces as a teenager, it did not completely close all gaps, plus my bottom front teeth moved and I still have an overbite. I would like to know if there is anyway i could get free treatment from a Dentistry school as a guinea pig for trainee dentists. I am so envious of friends and have such a complex with my teeth it can makes me feel insecure. Being a full time student i won’t be able to afford the orthodontistry just yet.
