Having previously had braces, will I be able to have them fitted again by a NHS dentist?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had 4 teeth taken out and a fixed metal braces when I was younger, but my dentist took these off before the gaps had fully closed. I was just happy to have them off at the time. But now at 23 I am conscious of these gaps as you can see them when I smile, and my front teeth have moved forward rather than sitting straight. So, my question is, is private the only way I can get the ‘perfect smile’ or can I get braces again with an NHS dentist (obviously I would have to pay), and if so what braces do the NHS offer and what are the average prices? I think I would probably prefer the wire behind the teeth! But would like to know my options. Many Thanks For your time!,

I need treatment for tooth gaps but NHS won’t pay for it. I can’t afford private treatment. What are my options?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
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.

Are NHS crowns as bad as my dentist claims?

Q.
