I really really hate my teeth

Q. Hello there:) I’m a 16 year old girly, and I really really hate my teeth! Everyone tells me there’s nothing wrong with them and to be honest there isn’t any major problems! I just want them to look perfect! For me! Here’s an idea of how they look:- / < My top teeth slightly stick out \ < & this is the bottom row. I just want both rows pushed back, straight, but the thing is i really don’t want any normal braces! My hearts set on lingual. As my teeth stick out having normal braces would look flaming rediculous! Could i have lingual braces? All my teeth are together with no gaps apart from the front two, so would having teeth removed be an issue? Im honestly not fussed about the price! but i really wan’t lingual and no other, not even invisalign it’l just look silly. The un-noticable the better! As i said i’m 16 but do i have to pay the whole amount straight away, could i not pay a fee over a period of time as of my circumstances? Sorry if i blabber on, i just really wan’t my teeth straight and my private dentist said no when i was 15. So now i pay the price! Please do get in touch if you have time! I’d love to hear your verdict on my sad dilema! Much appreciated:) Ps: I have no idea if you even specialise in lingual braces, total guess!

A. Hi

It is possible you could have lingual orthodontics, but impossible to say without a clinical examination.

If your teeth are crowded then you may require some teeth to be removed to create space.
Many practices now offer financial palns to allow you to spread the cost from 1 to 5years.

I do not specialise in lingual orthodontics, therefore i would recommend searching for a good orthodontist who carries out this procedure routinely.

Best of luck!

Im am not an orthodontist but I can tell you that you may well be a candidate for lingual braces and they cost in the region on £8000. You would have to tlk to the orthodotist carrying out the work in regards to payment plans

This form of treatment is a possibility , but you would requires a clinical and radiographic examination to see if this is possible.

I don’t specialise in lingual braces but I’m sure there are people on the web who could help you. I do find that Invisalign works great for a minor crowding so maybe you should take another look at that technique rather than the full blown treatment of lingual fixed braces

you can have tooth coloured braces to correct your smile. you can also opt for lingual braces, which are placed on the inside of teeth and are very discreet.
