I need to get brace what could I expect to pay privately

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Tennent, I had a brace as a child which was not a fixed one, but has an extra piece i had to wear at night, that went round my head. This was because my incisors were to straight and made my canines look like fangs. The brace did not work effectively and for some reason it was left at that. I am not 40 and do not want a brace. Can anything be done ? What’s the minimum could i expect to pay privatly if it could. Kind Regards

Is there any other alternatives for removable braces?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
My child has just had a removable brace that she should wear 24hrs a day and she is completely refusing to keep it in her mouth for more than ten minutes. Its a brace that will bring her bottom jaw and teeth forward due to faces she used to pull as a younger child. I am wondering if there is a way to have a similar brace wired inside the mouth? She is autistic so she refuses to wear it more than an average child as it is. Thank you for your time

Q.
I have relatively straight/level teeth all my life and never had braces however I’ve noticed over the last 3/4 years (I’m 27)that the 4 teeth on my lower jaw, between my ‘fangs’, have become twisted.
