My sons gum erosion is definitely a medical issue, can you give me some advice on this?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
My son who is 8 has some fairly substantial gum erosion under is front lower tooth. I was referred to an orthodontist who has said this is because his top and lower teeth have no gap and so when he talks/eats, there is friction and this is causing the gum to erode. His suggestion is a brace which he says is needed to bring my sons top teeth forward to create a gap. Under the new NHS rules he says no gap means no cover and has quoted £1000 for brace. Surely a condition that is medical and not cosmetic chould be covered? I am aware that my son could loose his tooth if the gum erodes anymore which surely makes this a medical issue- a crooked finger would not be fixed by the NHS to make it look nicer, however i am sure that something would be done to help prevent someone with a condition from losing one.Is this not the same for teeth? Please can you advise me? Thank you,

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,
A.
I recommend surgery if you hav… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
