I’m having an unpleasant experience with my orthodontist with no results, can I have a second opinion?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh,
I am having an unpleasant orthodontic treatment with my orthodontist for over two years and no positive result is seen so far. I would like to have a second opinion of a specialist orthodontist and maybe do this in writing.
My question is, how much does it cost?
I would need to find out is she doing the treatment well and what further is needed to be done to achieve a great result. I am considering to switch an orthodontist, so this is very important to me. Please let me know. Thank you

Best Regards

My braces rub against my cheeks, I’m 6 months into treatment, is there anything I can do?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello Darsh Could you please help me with my braces. I like them- as much as this is possible for braces, but only aesthetically. the braces I find rub against my cheeks which have subsequently turned white where small shaves of skin have been damaged. I am only six months or so into my treatment and wondered if there was anything I could do to fix this. are there any long term solutions you can think of? thanks

My jaw dislocates itself, a brace would really help, can I get it on the NHS?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi , I am 19 years old and still in full time education as I attend college. I am currently receiving physiotherapy to my jaw as it tends to dislocate itself on a regular basis. I have had a few accidents in my younger years which I have had to receive 2 operations in my mouth my teeth are very crooked and chipped. As i am receiving physiotherapy my physiothearipist was saying how a brace would really help keep my jaw in place as they could put small elastic bands around the braces, but as I am over the age of 18 I do understand that the NHS don’t tend to cover it. Is there any chance because of my circumstances that I could receive braces on the NHS?

I have a few issues with my teeth, am I still able to have a brace fitted?

May 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi Darsh.
My question is about whether or not I actually can have braces. I had overcrowding problems as a teenager, and after examining my teeth I can see that the dentist has extracted my lower left first premolar and my lower right lateral incisor. Therefore, my bottom teeth aren’t symmetrical. I also have two wisdom teeth that have impacted at an awkward angle. I’m not concerned about my lower teeth, I’m looking to have my upper teeth corrected. My upper teeth are symmetrical but not straight. Before I book a consultation, do these previous extractions on my lower teeth disqualify me for orthodontic treatment or make it more difficult/expensive? Thank you.

A.
It sounds like you have had an… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My son has an overbite, his teeth cut into his gum, but he doesn’t qualify for a brace, how can this be rectified?

May 3rd, 2012
Q.

My son is nearly 13 and has an overbite. He says that his teeth cut into his gums when his mouth is closed and causes a lot of pain at times. His teeth are not too crooked so he would not qaulify for braces. How can this be rectified, can it be done free on the nhs? Can I get insurance anywhere to cover this kind of work for a child? I thought that treatment was free for children on the NHS? Is this not the case? We live in Harrow, are there any orthodentists near me that you can recommend?
