Is the surgery that i need available on the NHS?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Q. I am 21 years old. About 6 years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 15 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased. I am 21 and would like to know if i can get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Many Thanks,,

Can you put me in the direction of dental trials? I hate my smile

Friday, March 19th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr.. Im in a position where i hate to smile cos of the way my teeth look as have gaps at back top and bottom both sides and caps of front which look shabby. I would love the idea of tooth implants but unfortunately i simply cant afford it and would never get finance to help cover the cost due to the amount of problems ive had recently. So.. trying to find a way to solve my issue i keep hitting walls and wonder if maybe you could put me in a direction of maybe some Dental trials etc?? I have also been reading on new development on Ultrasound growing new teeth? Is there maybe trials going on in U,K soon?? I dont have many problems in life but get so down about this issue as feel kike i cant go out with friends cos like them i would look and see things i dont want to see and im getting really depressed without a way of solving this issue. Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon.
