I’m 18 And In Full Time Education, How Much Would It Cost To Have My Overlapping Teeth Corrected?

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013
Q.

HI. 🙂

I have near perfect teeth in that all of them are straight, but the curve of my jawline is stronger on one side of my mouth. Consequently, there is less of an overlap of my bite on that side. It also makes the teeth on that side appear bigger when I smile because they bulge out slightly more. It is not a very huge problem and I can chew fine. No one else notices it but what forms of correction could I get? I don’t think I require anything too drastic because as I said there is no pain and I can eat just fine. However, is there any chance of this small problem developing into something more serious? If possible, could you give me a cost range? I am 18 and in full time education and so I understand that NHS treatment will not be an option for me anymore.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Can I qualify for free orthodontic treatment if I am in full time education at the age of 18?

Q.

Hi Andrew, I wondered if you could help me? At the age of 14, I was told by my dentist that I would require orthodontic treatment to fix my out of shape mouth.
The orthodontics couldn’t offer me treatment for another 2 and a half years, so my parents paid £1,800 for me to have it done there and then to save the wait. I was meant to have them on for 18 months, but they got removed after about a year as apparently my treatment had finished. I wore my retainer for 6 months and all was fine.
I am now 18, going to be 19 in December, and my bottom teeth are all out of shape again, and I have a big overbite of my upper jaw. I am still in full time education, can I qualify for free treatment? Even though I’ve had it before, paid for it, and it was only a temporary fix?

Many Thanks
