I need to get brace what could I expect to pay privately

Q. Hello Dr Tennent, I had a brace as a child which was not a fixed one, but has an extra piece i had to wear at night, that went round my head. This was because my incisors were to straight and made my canines look like fangs. The brace did not work effectively and for some reason it was left at that. I am not 40 and do not want a brace. Can anything be done ? What’s the minimum could i expect to pay privatly if it could. Kind Regards 

A. It sounds like you have a marked discrepancy between your jaw sizes. I would recommend a specialist orthodontic opinion which would cost around $100 with a large practice that might have links to a maxillofacial surgeon. costs around $6000 Consider veneers to change the shape if not position of teeth. Cost around $3000 A free intial assesment is offered at stjohns 01216430610 Rob
