My teeth have moved and now I am unentitled to free ortho, how much will it cost?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible you could help me out by giving me some advice and giving me an idea on what I’m entitled to. I’m 18 years old but in full time education and I had my braces taken off a year or so ago and was given a retainer, within in the 6 months of having the retainer on my current dentist told me to chuck them out as I no longer needed them? Now two of my bottom teeth have overlapped and one of my top teeth has shifted back a little. I’m aware that now I’m 18 I may have to pay towards it, but hopefully not £2000+ as not much work is needed to be done. I was wondering if you could tell me how much it is going to cost me? And if I am entitled to any discounts of any sort due to still being in education.

Many thanks,

My front teeth are crowded, is their a way of fixing them without orthodontics?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
Q.

I have a very crowded set of front teeth, my front two are gappy and the spaces either side are not big enough to fit my ext two teeth so they are behind the front two, the rest are not too bad its just this, it does begin to hurt sometimes when i eat also, i started to have a brace as a child, this is the retainer to start off the process this led to my jaw clicking in and out of place everytime i ate and terrible nose pain, when i told this to my orthadontist she told me it was normall, i stopped wearing the brace, and now i am left like this, is there any way i could have this sorted without having to wear a brace?

I got braces because I have a baby canine in my upper jaw, I hate them, how long will I have to wear them?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am an eighteen year old student. I just got braces about a month ago. My teeth are straight. I had to get the braces because I have still have baby canine in my upper teeth. They want to bring down the adult tooth. I have to get a gold chain on, the Expose and bond procedure, in about three weeks. I am really nervous about the surgery and how long it will take for the adult tooth to come down after the exposure. The big problem that worries me is that my adult tooth is horizontal – lucky me. How long will this take? And really how long will it take for my braces to be off? I have straight teeth which is upsetting. I thought I got to be one of the lucky ones that never had to get them. And never thought I would need them because of my straight teeth. But now I get them for my university years. Im really struggling with just having braces for 1 month. I really don’t like them. I have no confidence anymore and its hard for me to smile. Everyone says its worth it in the end, but to me this whole process is disheartening and stressful. I just really want to know if it will ultimately take three years to pull down my horizontal canine tooth and get the braces off.

I need braces but they are expensive, is a smile makeover quicker?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
Q.

hello, i am 15 years old and i live in california(u.s). i am in desperate need of braces, however they are expensive($6,500, with insurance) and my orthodontist said i would have them on for 2 years. my teeth are very crowded, and i have a crossbite/underbite.i was wondering if i could get a smile make over instead because thats faster. my questions are is it possible for me to get a smile makeover that will fix my problems for $6,500 and under? also i heard that if i went down to mexico, which isnt that far from me, it would be cheaper and its still safe because they have certified orthodontists there. also could my insurance cover an underbite surgery? please give me your honest opinio. i hate not smiling with my teeth and im constantly self conscious. thank you 🙂

My lateral incisors are bigger than central ones, should I have braces again or implants?

Monday, January 31st, 2011
Q.

I am 25 and had train tracks for 6 years and a head brace for a year which I wore for 16 hours a day. My problem is that my lateral incisors are bigger than my central incisors and due to there not being any space grew very far behind giving the aspect of having double central incisors. When I turned 18 my orthodontist told me she had done an experiment that had not worked and sent me packing you would never be able to tell that I have ever had any orthodontic treatment previously. The actual state of my teeth are not in a bad condition they are simply not aligned would I be better off having braces again or pulling out the incisors and having false teeth fitted?
