Q.
Hi, I’m 15 and I’m really self-conscious about my teeth and I hate smiling/laughing in front of people and always cover my mouth. I’ve got gaps between most of the teeth at the front, I went to seek advice from my local orthodontist but they said the gap wasn’t big enough for the NHS to pay for them so I have to go to a private orthodontist.
