Is there treatment for an overbite available on the NHS?

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

Q.

My daughter has just returned from an orthodontist appoitment where she was told her teeth were crooked but not enough to get the work done on the NHS but she could pay to go private. Is there a minimum level of ‘crookedness’ needed for treatment on the NHS?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

I’ll probably need an implant, brigdging and whitening. Please could you give me some indication of costs if I decide to employ your services? Also is there a payment plan for people that might not be able to pay upfront?
Having this information will save your time and mine.
thanks

Is it possible to have dentures that look perfectly real?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi

I was hoping to have full dental implants. Lower implant retained denture and implants on the upper. I have now been told that I have individual implants on the top and also have to have an implant retained denture because I have an overbite and need the lip support.
Is it really possible to have dentures that look like real teeth. If people have to have a crown fitted you can’t tell the difference between that and their own teeth but when you have to have a full denture they don’t seem to look like real teeth. Is it possible to have a denture that is made of porcelain or other material that looks like natural teeth.
As you can probably tell I am getting very distressed about this and I am looking for a new dentist that I can discuss this with and hopefully can do my implants.
I look forward to your response.

I need to fill a gap in my teeth. What is a cheap and effective treatment?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hi

I have had my first molar back taken out and am looking for a solution to fill the gap. My dentist recommended a valplast partial denture @ £350 private as it was a simple solution. My rear molar (not wisdom this is still coming threw) is heavily filled and not much tooth there and might need root treatment yet. My thoughts were on th NHS I could have the root treatment + crown it, crown the other tooth and have a bridge. It is my understanding that all this would be at the 1 price of £198 (or £177 not sure) as I have read there is 1 charge for work needed under the same treatment.

Your thoughts on this option please?

Regards
