i was born with a cleft lip and pallate so i have gaps and chips in them what can done to fix it

Q. Hi please help me,I HATE my teeth.I was born with a cleft lip and pallate so as you can imagin my teeth are in a real sate,They have gaps and chips in them are crooked and discoulerd.My bite is also way out of line. I realy want to be able to smile again,have pictures taken with my son and go out with my friends without wearing a scalf over my face. I have asked my dentist to take them all out and give me dentures,but he said he wouldnt recommend it as the way my mouth is(i have had bone grafts etc) he doesnt think that i will be able to hold them. There must be something i can have done. I dont have much money but am willing to do what i can do be able to afford to have something done to them(finance is not an option for me) All i want is to be able to smile at people most importantley my son and to have the confidence to be able to go out without my scalfs.

A. I am so sorry to hear your situation.  I think your best option is to ask your dentist to refer you to your nearest hospital orthodontic department.  I am pretty sure they will be able to treat you with a combination of treatments to give you back your smile.  Please let me know how you get on.
