Q. I know this is long, but I will extremely appreciate your time to read it. I’m only sixteen years old so I don’t really know what I am doing, however I do know that I desperately want a nice smile. I would like to know: Is there any age range on this aspect of cosmetic surgery or is it ok that I am sixteen? Also through the NHS I have been told that they will not do any surgery to correct my teeth because it isn’t a health risk, they have offered the choice of braces, however I am starting collage in September and don’t particuarly want to arrive with a mouth full of metal, also i understand that braces will take upto 2 years for correction. I really don’t want this doing and no dentists will seem to help me understand my other options, I have; an overbite, gaps mainly between my front upper teeth and my bottom jaw is slightly further back. Is there any surgery I can have to correct all these matters rather than a brace? It has come to the point where I saving up my money for this, and I will pay any price to be able to laugh without covering my mouth, and talk to the floor to avoid people seeing my teeth. I know you probably get thousands of emails, but please will you write back with some advice, thank you.,
