What Orthodontic Treatment Would I Qualify For?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
Q.

I’m a 20 year old student and very self conscious. My canines broke through my gums on my top rack of teeth because my baby teeth didn’t fall out until late. My right one fell out a few months ago, therefore my canine has lowered into place but is slightly twisted. My left canine hasn’t been able to lower because the baby tooth still hasn’t fallen out. This has led to the canine severely twisting.
All I want is for the final baby tooth to be removed and for my front six teeth (my top incisors and canines) to be straightened. What treatment would I qualify for? How much will it be and is there any extra help for students?

I Have Had A Variety Of Orthodontics For Malocclusion Reasons. I Would Like Braces Again And Would Like To Know If My Gums Will Be Affected?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, I’ve undergone orthodontics for an anterior cross bite and malocclusion as my front lower teeth are hitting my uppers. My front teeth are stripped and unfortunately by the end of the treatment my 1st molars are twisted up and so I have malocclusion at my back teeth. By the time I realised the inconvenience my upper braces are removed. I got my new upper braces again after this new doc was able to settle malocclusion at back but as the twisted teeth are straightened my front malocclusion is back again. Since I have less time because of marriage. I recently had my braces removed. Now it’s been 6 months after my braces removed and I want to have braces again. How will this effect my teeth and gum problems? How will I able to correct my occlusion without stripping my teeth? I need your advice please.

It may be possible but without… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My 14 Year Old Daughter Needs Braces But Her Orthodontist Said This Wouldn’t Be Covered By The NHS. Should I Keep Trying?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Patel. My 14 year old daughter has gaps between her top front teeth. Her dentist suggested braces for her and referred her to an orthodontist. The orthodontist agreed that a brace would be beneficial however said that it wouldn’t be covered on the national health! We can’t afford the £2000 quoted but are now concerned as one of her teeth appears to be twisting. Is it worth going back and asking again whether it will now be covered on the national health? Thank you.

I Feel That I Am Too Old To Wear Fixed Braces. Is There An Alternative?

Tuesday, April 15th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My two front teeth are twisted and spaced. As I lived in West Africa, it was very difficult to find a very good dentist. I have tried on several occasions but to no avail. As my front teeth are twisted, I cannot smile for long because I feel too embarrassed to expose them. Please help and advise me. One of the dentists that I visited said it cannot be rectified without braces because the structure of the teeth in my gum. Yet, I feel am too old to wear braces for Two years. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I’m Put Off By The Dental Prices To Fix My Crooked Smile. What Is The Cost Of The Six Month Smile Treatment?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi, Dr Hughes. I have severely crooked teeth due to overcrowding, a couple are slightly twisted with one tooth pushed behind the rest, I had a consultation with a cosmetic dentist a while ago but was put off by the prices! This is causing me to suffer from a very low self esteem because I feel uncomfortable when I smile and would love to have this problem fixed. Would it be possible for me to have the six month smile treatment? I also have limited means, so I would only be able to pay monthly. How much would this cost (monthly) approximately.
Kind regards.

I Wasn’t Provided With A Retainer After Dental Treatment And Now I Require More Dental Work, Please Help!

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello Sir,
I’ve had a previous orthodontal treatment about ten years ago and now that treatment has lapsed due to the retainers which weren’t given in the end of the treatment. This is an open bite case and now the acclusion isn’t happening on the molars. They have suggested a cosmetic surgery to correct it by rotating the molars as the muscles near the chin only is enabling the balance of the teeth. I am kindly asking for your opinion on this as I feel it is slightly extreme. I don’t understand why I wasn’t given a retainer at the end of my treatment, because I’d never had any orthodontic treatment before I did not know what to expect. Thank you for your advice.

Where Can I Get Cheap Veneers And How Much Would They Cost?

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi, how would I go about working out how much it would be for a full set of Veneers? And what would be the cheapest option? Would the best option be to book for a consultation and speak to someone directly? I think it would probably be but just wanted your opinion on it. My teeth are okay but I really want a really nice smile, the problem really as well is that I currently have a twist in my front top teeth which I would like sorting as well. If you could explain to me how I would go about sorting this out as well then that would be ace. Many thanks.

My Dentist Says My Twisted Root Needs To Be Seen By A Specialist, Should I Trust Him?

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013
Q.

I have recently had two root canals started and am going back for the crowns within the next few weeks. I have another slightly problematic tooth that my dentist has told me the root is twisted and that I need to see a specialist for the root canal treatment or even potential extraction. This would be fine however I am intending to keep my teeth. I wanted you to tell explain to me, does a twisted root need to be worked on by a specialist or is the dentist trying to get more money out of me..? I am a little concerned that they are so would really appreciate a response. Thanks for your time and hope you can get back to me for my own peace of mind…

Regards.

I Had A Crown On A Twisted Tooth Now It Is Infected And Causing Pain, Should I Have Had Root Canal Treatment Beforehand?

Monday, March 4th, 2013
Q.

Hi,

My front tooth was very twisted so had some by drilling some of the tooth away and a crown, which looks much better. This was done privately as it was for cosmetic reasons. About 18months later I have had pain and infections but doesnt show up on X-rays. I have been suffering with this for about a year as the dentist just kept saying clean better as there is a pocket that food can get into. I clean thoroughly and regularly and it doesnt help and am still suffering. I was given antibiotics eventually but it didnt work at alll. I have continual pain and much discomfort when I speak. The dentist has recommended specialist root canal treatment but he said due to the very thin root he cannot do it himself. I am normaly an NHS patient so this is becoming very expensive for me. This makes me question should I have been given root canal treatment before the crown?

I would very much appreciate your help.  Thank you.

What Would The Cost Be Of Closing A Gap and Straightening A Tooth?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

I have a gap inbetween my 2 front teeth an a twisted fang. Would you say this was a simple straightness of teeth or a more complicated.
I have had the gap all my life but would really like it closed. The twisted fang is not bothering me as much but if I could get them both done that would be ideal.
Is there a price range depending on if I just get the gap closed or will it be pretty much same price for both gap and fang. I Look forward to reading your response, Thanks
