Is it Possible to Correct My Crowded Teeth?

Thursday, April 16th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I have two to three crowded teeth, on the lower jaw next to the canine and on the upper jaw. I am 40 years old. From childhood I’ve felt that I am not confident, I don’t speak as well as others due to my teeth.
Is there any way to align my teeth at this stage so that I can earn some money by teaching for my family? I was  a good student but I’m not a good teacher. I want to be a good teacher, to relax and feel confident. Please reply, is it possible to correct this?

My Teeth Are Crowded And I’m Uncomfortable With The Way My Smile Looks. Should I Have Braces?

Wednesday, October 8th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Gambroudes. 12 years ago I lost an upper tooth when I was young. My other teeth came together to fill the gap but know I can’t smile in front of other people as I don’t feel comfortable with the way it looks. Now one upper tooth is too big compared to the others which are small. I think I need a gap filling through the use of braces. Can you tell me if this would help? I have never been to a dentist so I don’t know what to do really. Please provide me with information about what should I do. Thank you very much.

Could You Tell Me If My Quote For Damon Braces Is Accurate?

Thursday, July 10th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,

I have been quoted a total treatment cost of £6,500 to get Damon braces for my lower teeth and lingual braces for my upper teeth to address moderate to severe crowding on the upper and lower arch, with reduced posterior diameter on the upper arch and an over developed lower jaw.

As it’s difficult to get comparison prices I was wondering if this seems reasonable for London. The orthodontist thinks that I will need 10 -14 months.

Thanks, it would be great if you could help me with this.

I Was Meant To Wear My Retainer More. How Can I Get My Teeth Straight Again?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I need your help. My lower left and lower right central incisors have moved back and it looks awful. I had braces for 3 years a while ago and I was meant to wear a retainer, but it slowly stopped being worn. And my teeth have slowly moved out of place. I’m 21 and I really want it sorted. Do you know how much it would roughly cost and is there a way to fix it without having a mouth full of metal? Also I would like to know the cheapest and most effective way possible to fix it. Thank you for helping me with this.

I’m Put Off By The Dental Prices To Fix My Crooked Smile. What Is The Cost Of The Six Month Smile Treatment?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi, Dr Hughes. I have severely crooked teeth due to overcrowding, a couple are slightly twisted with one tooth pushed behind the rest, I had a consultation with a cosmetic dentist a while ago but was put off by the prices! This is causing me to suffer from a very low self esteem because I feel uncomfortable when I smile and would love to have this problem fixed. Would it be possible for me to have the six month smile treatment? I also have limited means, so I would only be able to pay monthly. How much would this cost (monthly) approximately.
Kind regards.

My bottom teeth are crowding again even though i wear a retainer, what can I do?

Friday, June 24th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I was just wondering if you could help me.
About 5 years ago I had braces for both my top and bottom teeth. After having my brace removed, I had to wear a retainer until my dentist told me otherwise. However over the last 2 years, on the bottom the first 6 teeth have begun to twist and move slightly back. It’s beginning to get really noticeable, and I’m just worried that it’s going to get worse as time goes on.
I’m 18 and in full time education, and was just wondering how much it would cost or if it would cost anything to get them sorted?

Thank you.

I had a brace but now my teeth have moved back into their original place, what do you suggest?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello 

I got braces when I was 13 and had them taken off when I was 15. I broke my retainer and didn’t go back to get another one.

My top teeth are relatively straight. Perfect to me, but my bottom jaw has gone onky again. My central incisors have moved backards. Other than that there are no other faults that I can see.

How much would it be to get train tracks on my lower jaw again?
& is there any alternative methods to straightening my teeth other than the train tracks?

Thanks for your time
