Is there treatment for an overbite available on the NHS?

Q.

I was just wondering if there is any treatment for an overbite available on the NHS? I have had braces for five years, and yet my my smile is still awful, to the extent where I don’t like smiling or laughing. And is there a way to make a nice smile without surgery? Thanks for the help.

I need to fill a gap in my teeth. What is a cheap and effective treatment?

Q.

Hi

I have had my first molar back taken out and am looking for a solution to fill the gap. My dentist recommended a valplast partial denture @ £350 private as it was a simple solution. My rear molar (not wisdom this is still coming threw) is heavily filled and not much tooth there and might need root treatment yet. My thoughts were on th NHS I could have the root treatment + crown it, crown the other tooth and have a bridge. It is my understanding that all this would be at the 1 price of £198 (or £177 not sure) as I have read there is 1 charge for work needed under the same treatment.

Your thoughts on this option please?

Regards

Are they responsible for correcting my denture repair?

Q.
I recently broke my denture which replaces a front tooth I lost, I took it to my NHS Dentist who I appreciate gladly took a new imprint of my mouth and sent it off for repair under the free NHS Dental repair. However, when it returned and we tried it out it did not fit correctly and is noticably not in line with the surrounding teeth. She advised that nothing could be done as it had been repaired and the only option was for me to have a new denture made. At present I am unable to afford the £200 fee for a new denture and am therefore stuck with an ill fitting denture. I appreciate the repair service is free and am very appreciative of this but surely if the repair is not correct then they should be responsible for correcting the repair? Thanks.
