I have always dreamed of being able to smile. Can I be helped?

Q.
I have always dreamed of being able to smile without the thought of dont smile to much in my mind,i have a bit of a crooked smile across my top 4 front teeth that i now wish i would have had fixed as a child,being as i am in some financial hardship at this point in my life,i was wondering if there is anything i could do to have my smile fixed by whatever means needed be it a brace,veneers,whatever it took,but at a price plan i could afford as i am now 27 and to old to qualify for cosmetic work on the nhs.Or has being a misguided and careless youngster ruined my chances of ever being able to live as the confident happy girl i know i could be if only i could SMILE and LAUGH without hiding my mouth,it may sound silly but deep down this problem is central to my life,your advice would truly help,thanku for taking the time to read this i hope you will find time to reply x

Hi
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. There are several options for improving your smile – as you are aware of – from easy things such as whitening, hygiene therapy, cosmetic contouring, bonding to more complex such as veneers and orthodontics. These can be done in stages as your personal situation allows. Alternatively a lot of practices offer finance allowing you to spread payments over manageable monthly amounts.
I would suggest you book a full consultation with a cosmetic dentist, discuss your concerns with your smile and budgets, allowing the two of you to put together a treatment plan that is affordable and gives you the smile you wish for.
Good luck
