I cannot get braces on the NHS anymore, but I’ve been looking at six month smiles. Is this my best option?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Q.
Hi there, i am a 17 year old looking into getting my teeth straightened something that should have been done when i was about 14 but i was never taken back to a dentist then. I recently went back and registered at a dentist where i was told my teeth were very healthy but I cannot get braces on the NHS anymore. Could the reason be because it’s purely cosmetic? I am looking into six month smiles and i have recently been told i have TMJ i am wondering if undergoing this treat ment will agrivate it? Thirdly (sorry) i have naturally discoloured teeth would a whitening help this or would something like veneers be my only option? Thanks :),

I’ve had veneers for 20 years, but some keep falling off recently. Is the process faulty or is the porcelain contaminated?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Q.
I have 6 veneers on my front top teeth. I had them placed over 20 years ago and have never had any problems. Last year one fell of and was successfully replaced. About a month later one of my large front ones fell off and has been replaced 3 times. Two others came off after that and they seem to have been successfully replaced. My question is can the porcelain from the one which keeps falling off be contaminated in some way or is it more likely to be either the bonding or the process which is at fault?,
A.
Its very difficult to rebond a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
