My daughter has been recommended implants to replace her baby teeth and then braces. Are there any alternatives?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
Q.
My 16yr daughter has been fitted a brace as she has missing adult teeth either side of her top middle teeth. we have been told that the best option is to have implants in the gaps and then bring in the rest of the teeth so that any gaps are at the back, but we are unsure whether this is the best option and we would like to know what are the other options if any. My daughter would prefer to have bridges as this would be less painful and give a quicker result but the orthodontist seems to not want to fit them. as we are paying privately for her treatment i think my daughters views should be taken into account. Are we entitled to have a second opinion and be referred to have the rest of the work completed under the nhs? can you advise.,

Q.
Hi, I am just wondering about braces on the NHS. I have been on a waiting list for over 3 and a half years, and they have now contacted me, saying that I can go for an appointment with them within the next 3 months. My issue is, that I am now 19 and a half. Will I have to pay for my braces, even though I have been on the waiting list since I was 16, before turning 18? Thanks,

My erupting wisdom teeth have made my front otherwise health teeth overlap. Would braces damage my teeth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, at 29 I have been advised that I have very good teeth, they are strong I have no problems at all and they are all in very good condition with no fillings. However from a young age I was advised that I had too many teeth, which until now although my teeth aren’t particularly straight on top, I was not too bothered because they are in such good condition and I was worried that a brace would damage my teeth, however over the last 6 months or so my wisdom teeth have started to come through causing an overlap of my two front teeth, and increasing discomfort. I realise that I may have to have some form of orthodontic treatment, but I am very nervous about damaging my teeth by having a brace, however I would like to have straight teeth. I would be grateful therefore if you could please advise of the options available and whether my worries are founded. Many thanks in advance.,
