Hi, my right front tooth is in front of the other and have a bad overbite. Also some of my teeth are in front of each other and either too long or crooked. I am on income based job seekers allowance, am I entitled to free braces and if yes which ones. What would be the rough estimated time that I would have to wear the brace for? I’m 21. Thank you
What can I do about my dissatisfaction with my orthodontic treatment?
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011Q.
Hi,
I am currently having orthodontic procedure – I have finished with my upper invisalign and I am still wearing Lingual braces on the lower. I had an open bite and wanted to get it sorted, I am with a top london practice and only underwent the treatment as i was assured that the open bite would be corrected. I was quoted a timescale of 18 – 24 months for the lingual but has been nearly 3 years now and im really not happy about how it is going, the open bit in my view has not been corrected sufficiently – its now half bite on bit and half open bite. After a bit of reading up I think i should of had ligual on both upper and lower and then had bands applied which (so ive read) will correct minor bite problems..What do you suggest? have ligual applied to the top or is there any other way of correcting this as i am now thinking about some kind of cosmetic dentistry when the braces finally come off (!)… And yes I have posed the question to my dentist doing the work and he sugested cosmetic which i find strange as that wasnt really the idea i had in mind – hence i went for braces. Any comments appreciated. Kind regards,

How can I decide whether to have ceramic braces or an inman aligner?
Monday, March 7th, 2011Q.
Hi,
I used to have fixed metal braces in my teens and over the last few years, my front right tooth has moved forward with the one to the right of it moving behind it. I recently visited a dentist to look at options and was told that that best option would be ceramic fixed braces on the front 6 teeth. i was told that the inman aligner could also be an option but would be bulkier in my mouth. I would appreciate your opinion on this and how long you think the ceramic braces would take.
Many thanks

Hi, my question regards nhs vaneers/caps, I have two teeth missing at the front, top. The teeth between my two front teeth and my canine on both sides, past dentists have have said it seems i never had the adult ones, Also they said I could have a brace or caps for cosmetic reasons but at the time i was 14 and worried, im still a student and wondered now i am older and have had time to reflect is it still possible as my teeth look childlike,
