Can i fix braces for free on NHS?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Q.
I had fixed braces when i was about 11 for seven months, but then eventually discontinued to use the retainer i was given as i got older. I am now 18, and my teeth have moved around so much from when the brace was first taken off, meaning that the retainer obviously no longer fits my mouth. Would you recommend getting fixed braces put back on? If so, would i still be able to get them free on the Nhs, baring in mind that i am still in full time education? Any other recommendations would also be much appreciated.

Im 50 and I have crooked teeth can u suggest what to do?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Q.
My upper four front teeth are quite big and as a result one incisor has been squeezed backwards and the other one infront and it is protruding in a very embarrassing way. The two lower teeth have been squeezed to the front, the incisors pushed virtually to the back and barely visible and the canines almost taking the incisors positions. I am an adult over 50 years and as you can imagine, wire braces would not be on my shopping list. Please advise me the best way forward and how long it would be to get my teeth straightened and how much it would cost. And do you have a payment plan?

A.
I would suggest that you have … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will my gums get back to normal after taking the brace off?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Im 14 and have braces. Im very worried about the size of my gums. I have had my braces for a year and 8 months. My teeth are fine but I have very bulbus gums. They are progressing under my wire and are puffy. But they are normal colored. My orthodontists have told me to to brush in circles against the gums (from the top and bottom) and up into them. In the past I have been able to make them go down a little bit, but then they end up flaring up again. I have been trying again recently and Im not having any luck this time. Im worried this is permanent. Im also worried I’ll have to have surgery on my gums, which I dont want. Will my gums go down when my braces come off or not? Thanks

They will but it sounds like y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
