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

March 2nd, 2012
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?

March 1st, 2012
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.

Can braces be worn on ‘weak’ teeth?

January 17th, 2012
Q.

I’m twenty six year olds and am considering getting Lingual Braces but been told by my old dentist that my teeth are too weak for braces and I should get bridges, but I do not want to extract or “shape” my teeth for bridges and change them every 5-10 years for the rest of my life, and I dont have missing teeth so there’s no point of extracting. and read somewhere on some website that there is not such a thing as Too Weak Teeth For Braces… so my question is… Can braces be worn on weak teeth?

What is the most discreet brace for me?

December 14th, 2011
Q.

hi there im 57. I worked as a labourer for thirty years. this meant, as the work was physically hard my mouth was open for extended periods of the day in order to breath. now I’m told this could have contributed towards my teeth’s recent overlapping (this has happened progressively over the last few years or so). what I wanted to know was is this actually possible and if it is do you know of anything else that I can look at trying to stop? and as im still working as a brick layer which brace treatment is the least intrusive? for now im not bothered about speed, price or looks I just want the most comfort so it doesnt bother me when I work. cheers buddy

I have baby teeth and want implants and braces, advice?

October 6th, 2011
Q.

I am 24 years old and I have about 4 baby teeth still in my mouth. They are the fangy teeth. One of the baby teeth have fallen out recently however, which has left an ridiculous looking gap in my smile as the adult tooth was behind it and cannot be seen. The other 3 teeth have the adult teeth behind them. I am wondering what I can do about this. I also have an overbite. Do I qualify for lingual braces? invisalign? would I need surgery for this matter? Could I get implants? Please advise. I appreciate it.
