My daughter needs treatment for under bite. How much would it cost?

Q.

My daughter has her lower jaw larger than her upper as a result, her teeth are not align. She has seen a consultant orthodontist and waiting to have braces fitted on the NHS. The consultant told me that she will need to wear braces with a facial harness attached to it and my daughter needs to pull the harness in order to grow her upper jaw. However, the waiting list seems to be long, therefore if I have it done at your clinic how much does it cost? Your early response would be greatly appreciated.

Can braces help me and give me more confidence?

Q.

I’ve always been embarrased about my teeth (when talking, smiling in photos)I’m in my 20’s and feeling more concious of this now. My lower jaw seems further back than my top, and the teeth on the lower jaw are cramped up. The teeth on my top jaw arent bad, a few chips. The main thing that bothers me is both my lower and top jaw also seem very narrow, so dont really have much of a smile. I know cosmetic dentistry isnt cheap, but is something that really bothers me and would love to have a nice smile. Just wanting advice on what would be best, if treatment would need maintaining in future and if i am at the right age to have it done or should i wait Would lingual braces help me at all? Thankyou.
