Hello there! I am currently a student and for probably 8 years of my life I have had a lot of dental care due to having an extra tooth on top of my front tooth which prevented my front tooth to come down. This resulted to having an operation to remove the extra tooth which meant that the original front tooth was knocked out of the pathway. The dentist then attached a gold chain to that front tooth and pulled the tooth down over the course of 2/3 years. This is when I received braces for a good 2/3 years. This resulted to my gum being extended after the tooth came down so when I smile it doesn’t look normal at all. I wanted to have veneers done but I wanted to know how much it would be overall to sort out my gum and replace my tooth because it is still slanted. Thank you very much!
Hi Dr Patel.
I have a slight overbite and would like to get this fixed. I have looked around how to get this done when I bumped into your website.
My question is: how much this will cost and if there is any possibility to get this covered by any insurance?
I noticed this problem when I started to get older but didn’t know if there was a procedure to get this fixed, but since I am an student who is not employed this is going to be difficult to fund on my own.
This procedure would give me self-esteem since as I am very conscious about my overbite problem.
Looking forward for your reply.
Sincerely.
Hello Dr Moore. I could do with your help. I have finished my BDS and I want to do a MDS in oral surgery. But ideally I would want to go abroad, but finance is an issue. Is there any way by which I can do MDS in India and then go abroad and practice with the same qualification? (esp. in USA or Canada). I know about DDS but is it worth going abroad and studying dentistry all over again?
I want to be sure of what I want to do before I commit to something. Also I have always dreamt of studying abroad but I don’t know what to do now. Please help me with this issue. Your advice would be greatly received. Thank you.
Hi Dr Hughes,
I have a question about my teeth. Basically my bottom teeth are fine but my upper teeth have spaces (gaps) between most of the front teeth. I’m really insecure about it and I want to do the 6 months smile programme. But I want to know how much the price will be for that and what is the best treatment I could have?
I’m a university student right now as well therefore I would be able only to spend maximum £1900 for my teeth. Therefore I wanna know the best treatment thats available for me please get my back to me if you can.
Thank you.
Hello Mark,
I wanted to enquire about having fixed braces. I am nineteen years old and a college student. I have had braces before when I was roughly thirteen years old. My teeth have slightly moved due to not wearing my retainer long enough. Would you be able to tell me whether I am able to get braces through the NHS or if I can apply for a certain discount. If not, how much would I be looking at?
Many thanks.
Hi Mark. I am a student with overlapping front teeth
I am interested in treatments to solve this as it affects my self-confidence and I just want a smile that looks great.
I don’t want conventional braces. Price/cost of treatment is also a factor to consider as I am a Student and not really rolling in the paper at the minute.
My lower set of teeth is also out of line, but my real issue is just the two front centre teeth of which one is considerably overlapping the other. Please help, as the profession I wish to pursue is one of self-confidence, image and dialogue. All which are detrimental at the minute because of my teeth. I was going to have braces when I was 11; one of my biggest regrets is allowing the orthodontist at the time put me off as it would of been on the NHS and at a young age. However 10 years later I’m sure there is an innovative treatment that would suffice? Thank you for your time.
Hi Andrew. I am a college student, I’m 19 years old and I don’t actually have extremely bad teeth but the major problem is that my upper jaw is a bit out. I even asked for braces from the dentist but he said that braces are possible only after 5 extractions, but I don’t wish to extract my teeth. I tend to hesitate when I smile. My teeth aren’t very long. They are white, short and clustered but not too much overcrowding. Could you please suggest something to help me? Thanks.
