I would like to fix and would like to know what i could claim for free with regards to veneers, crowns.etc..as it would probably cost me thousands of pound for the cosmetic dentistry i require.can you help?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I was just wondering if there is any treatment for an overbite available on the NHS? I have had braces for five years, and yet my my smile is still awful, to the extent where I don’t like smiling or laughing. And is there a way to make a nice smile without surgery? Thanks for the help.

I have just been through the process of volunteering

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I have just been through the process of volunteering at leeds dental institute and was promised after all my appointments i was gauranteed to have my teeth straightened for free.

I never got chance to get a brace when i was younger and i am now 20.

Today at my orthodontics appointment i have been told my teeth are not bad enough for treatment at the institute, so i have returned to look for private care.

My teeth are moderately-severe crowded top and bottom, and i have a overjet of about 6mm. my top centre line is correct but my bottom is 1mm to the left.

What would you suggest would be the best brace for me?
I would preferably prefer something relatively cheap and maybe something less discreet that traditional braces if possible

Do I need my bottom teeth moved in order to align my upper teeth?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi, my two front teeth misalign a little bit (less than 2mm). I went to see the dentist today and he said my case is qualified and would take about 6-8 weeks. However, if I were to have an inman aligner treatment, he will have to push the lower teeth back to have room. Therefore, the cost of the treatment is double from £995 per arch to total £2,200. I just would like to see your point if it’s always necessary that the dentish has to push the lower teeth first before pull the upper front teeth? I just don’t want to be over charged if there are alternative more affordable price that give the same result. Please kindly advice. Thank you.
