Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Q.
I am 17 years of age and have had braces in the past. However when I had my braces I was younger and didn’t really appreciate them. This resulted in some of my teeth becoming wonly soon after my braces were removed. I would very much like to have braces once more but realise I would now have to pay for them, could you tell me how much this would cost?

Which braces can I use to straighten my teeth that are cheaper

Friday, August 8th, 2008
Q.
I am after having my teeth straightened. However would prefer to not use the traditional orthodontic braces. Therefore i was wondering if i could choose from the selection described on this site, or is that what the orthodontics would decide on my arrival? Also, which brace fitted would averagely turn out to be cheaper? I was also considering veneers to alter them, would i have to do my whole mouth? and are they really not permanent? Thank you =) x

Should I get my orthodontic treatment privately?

Friday, August 8th, 2008
Q.
Hi,  I am only 17 years of age, I have moved alot and missed out on many chances of having a brace, and now the orthodontic has told me I will have to pay loads to get my teeth straight and that Im now waiting another 2 years or so. The problem with my teeth is that the teeth beside my two front teeth have pushed back behind my front teeth at the top. I feel as though I am giving up with myself all because I havent got straight teeth, All my other teeth seem to be perfect I just dont know what to do. should I just go to a dentist and have them done to save waiting around for the orthordontic now that I know Ill have to pay anyway?

My NHS dental crowns are too white what can I do

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
I go to a local dentist where I have been going for a long time and my dentist no longer treats adults, just children\’s braces. i therefore changed to a dentist at that practice, but did not know him. I have had 3 new crowns at the front and a veneer (privately) plus teeth whitening. I was told that the two teeth (old NHS crowns) either side of the front two had metal posts and they may show through the porcelain, but it shouldn’t be a problem. This treatment was carried out about march time at a cost of £1200 plus teeth whitening. The crown were a bit too white for my own colour and I was asked to repeat the teeth whitening for another week. They still do not match, the two crowns on the metal posts are a grey colour and I do not feel entirely happy with them. Where do I stand regarding this or having a second opinion. The dentist who carried out the work is very nice, so I feel at a loss as to what to do next.

I have gum disease through thumb sucking can I gave cosmetic dentistry

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I’m 23 years old. I sucked my thumb until I was 13. My top teeth were pushed out and my bottom ones were pushed in. My bottom right 1 tooth has even turned 90 degrees so it\’s perpendicular to the others! Because of this, the dentist told me I have pockets in my gums they harbour more bacteria than normal people. 3 years ago, I started suffering from gum disease. I\ve since had 4 gum infections, 2 abscesses, 3 teeth extracted and I now have another broken tooth. My gums are wearing away too. Most of my problems are due to the fact I didn’t see a dentist from the ages of 16 and 20. I\ve started going regularly again but I’m distressed at all the work that needs doing. Is there anything that can be done for me with cosmetic dentistry? I think I need braces to start with to straighten my teeth, but then I worry that they’re beyond repair because I have missing teeth. Please help me as it has had massive effects on my confidence and self esteem as I can\’t smile or even talk properly as I’m so scared of anyone seeing my teeth.
