I have an underbite should i have surgery and a fixed brace

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Q.
I am 37 yrs old and have an underbite. I’ve been offered surgery and fixed brace under the NHS but the whole process would take at least 2 yrs. As I am single the thought of wearing a fixed brace at my age has put me off the procedure, but the underbite still bothers me! Is there a compromise such as veneers (which I would obviously have to pay for)? I feel very self-conscious when I smile and welcome any other suggestions to help my situation. ps. The surgeon will not use invisible braces as she says they do not work as well.

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?

I have a huge gap between my front teeth

Sunday, June 29th, 2008
Q.
Hello, i’m 18 years old and i have a really big gap in between my front two teeth, i measured the gap, and the bottom bit of the gap measures to be about 4mm, and as it goes up, the gap goes slightly closer together, with a gap narrowing to about 2-3mm. I have really low self esteem for the gap in me teeth, and was wondering, if veneers is the treatment for me? I would apply for Invisalign, but it\’s too expensive for my dad to pay! please help!
