What is price range for inman Aligner or 6 month smiles

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hello I am 24 years of age and sick of teeth!!! Sounds bad I know… The main problem is my two front teeth that stick out causing a moderate to severe overbite. The lateral incisors also stick out but only slightly. Overall they dont look incredibly bad (as friends and family say) but I would prefer straight teeth as I am extremely self concious. I am looking into orthodontic treatment and in particular Inman Aligners or 6 -Month smiles but I’m unsure which will achieve better results or if they’ll both equally effective. Also, what are the price ranges for both options? Thanks!!!

Would I need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work?

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some questions about six month braces and what they can achive, all my upper and lower front teeth have mild crowding except my lower two front teeth that slightly overlap by roughly 2mm, my worry is if i would need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work, basically what i am asking is how much room can be made with this brace ie: does it widen arches to make room, and how much space can be created with reprox or tooth slenderising not sure of the correct term for this, also does reprox affect the health of teeth. Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Would I be able to get jaw realignment surgery done on the NHS

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
I am 24 years old. About ten years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 17 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back and to move my jaw back to the right as it leans more on the left. Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. I was discharged at that time. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased and my jaw leans more towards the left than it used to. My jaws ache quite often and I have difficulty breathing through my nose, and it feels blocked alot of the time, I have read that this can be caused because my top jaw is too far back. I am almost certain that the orthodontist told me that if I changed my mind, the option was always there until I was 25 years old. I am 25 in December of this year and am worried that I won’t be able to get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Could you tell me if I would be able to get this done on the NHS now? Many Thanks,

A.
