My Daughter Has To Wait Till She’s 17 To Get Braces And I Can’t Afford To Go Private. What Should We Do?

Friday, April 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mark. My problem is that my daughter is massively insecure about her teeth, she stopped sucking her thumb at the age of 15 (it was a serious habit) in order to be on the waiting list for braces she has to wait until she was 17! Unfortunately I do not have the money to go private or I would, have you got any tips in helping me with this problem or any alternatives in her receiving braces any quicker without going private? I hope you can help us with this. Thank you in advance for any information and advice you can provide us with

I sucked my thumb as a child and have had problems with my smile all my life, i also have gum disease, what should I do?

Q.

I sucked my thumb as a child (I am now nearly 60) and subsequently my teeth stick out. I was called goofy at school. I have had 3 teeth removed from my upper jaw either side of my front teeth (2 on one side and one on the other) I also have gum disease. My top 2 front teeeth have been crowned and one of the crowns is moving so it all looks a bit of a mess!
I have been very self conscious for years and I would love to have a better smile but apart from being nervous of the dentist I am also very embarrased and put my hand over my mouth when I laugh!
Cn you help me, please?
