A. hi asked to be referred to the local dental hospital when you get to university. their orthodontic department may be able to help. regards safeer
hi i wanted braces aswell cause i just want straight teeth i am turnng 17 and the nhs refused me do know why ??
Hi, i went to an orthodontist when i was 16 and they refused to give me braces under the NHS and said i would have to go private =(
I’m now 18, and i’m planning on getting braces privately this summer
I have a gap between 1mm-2mm between my front two teeth. I have been to the orthodontist but as all my other teeth are straight i have been refused braces on NHS, and braces privately is too expensive! What other cheaper options do I have? Could you also tell me about clipping the frenum? By dentist suggested that a year ago but didnt ask about price etc.. thanks please get back to me!
i am 20 years oldand should have got braces fitted when i was at school,butdidnt.i really need braces on top and bottom teeth.I am currently on sickness benefit and am looking into how much it would cost for a consultation and treatment afterwards? it would be appreciated if u could get back to me.
HI..i was just enquiring about any braces you have available for my bottomteeth and a cast please? tha.nk you
I have been refused braces and been told to go back to the dentist in 6 months. I am very worried about my appearance and the large gap between my teeth. I cried when i found out this information. My parents are not wiling to go private as the prices are extortionate. I turn 13’in june. What should I do?
