Would I be able to have two sets of braces from two different orthodonists, one private, one NHS?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Q.
Hello,
I am hoping to get NHS braces on my lower teeth (I am under 18) and six month smile braces for the upper teeth at the same time, but at different practices. Would the orthodontist object to this, and is it likely that they will insist that I complete one treatment first before starting the other?
Thanks in advance.

What options do I have for filling in gaps between my front teeth?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Q.
Hi,
So I’ve got gaps between my 4 front, upper teeth. I’ve always had them, my brother and sister have them too, but they also have much smaller mouths than me so their gaps are nearly non-existent and barely noticeable.
I’ve spoken to a cosmetic dentist about closing these gaps in the past, but the cost has put me off. I’m very eager to get this sorted out as it’s killing my self confidence and stopping me from smiling.
usually Veneers would be enough to close the gaps, I would require 4, one on each of the teeth (that are too small for my mouth apparently) the problem with this is that the proportions of my teeth would be way off, giving them the appearance of being short and stubby, so to couple this procedure a gum-lift has been recommended, I have a particularly gummy smile too, so this would fit nicely. However my top and bottom teeth also dont interlock (I forget the term, sorry) this means my canines are all worn down, and because they’d be sat next to 4 perfect teeth, these too would need work so that they’d fit in with my smile properly, crowns have been suggested for this.
All this work is well and good, but the cost is coming in at around £4000, which is a little bit of a hindrance for me.
any advice you can provide would be greatly helpful and appreciated. happy to provide photographs if necessary.
Thanks

Could I change from an NHS dentist to a private dentist?
Monday, March 21st, 2011Q.
I have two false teeth in the front, one of which is recent, the tooth to the left side has had a root canal and has gone black and it looks awful. The corner of the tooth has just broken off, and i will now need it seeing to. I was told that it would have to be filed down to a peg and a crown added which would cost £300 this is with a private dentist, i was seeing, the cost of my last lot of treatment has been high and i just cant afford to pay private. Could i change to a nhs dentist while still on the books at the private one? I am a very nervous person when it comes to dentists and it took me so long to go, i started to cry just filling in forms. Is there any way that the old filling can be taken out and a white one put in and the tooth be built up on the corner? Thank you for giving this matter your attention.
My front teeth cross over, can I get an Inman Aligner or will I need a fixed brace?

My teeth have relapsed after braces, what should I do?
Friday, March 18th, 2011Q.
Hi.
I have had braces for around 2 years, and they were taken off last June….
I wear my retainer every night without fail. Recently though, my top 2 front teeth have begun to separate, so it looks like there is a little hole between the two teeth at the top. When I had braces, my front two teeth didn’t have a problem, it was other teeth.
Will I have to have braces again to fix this? Are there other ways this can be dealt with?
I am so unhappy because I take really good care of my teeth, no fillings or anything, is there anything I can do to close the gap??
Wearing my retainers don’t seem to reduce the problem…

I really want tooth contouring but can’t find any information on roughly how much this procedure should cost.
Do you have a rough idea?
