Q.

Hello,

I went to see an Orthodontist about a a year and a half ago now and he said my teeth weren’t bad enough for a brace and I could pay privately, but my teeth are now rubbing together slightly and my top teeth are pushing my bottom teeth and there slowly staring to move into weird positions but i know if i go back and get refered again they are only going to say the same thing , what can I do as I’m nearly 18 and I can’t afford to be paying if my teeth go wonky and horrible. Is there any help pr advice that you can give me so that I can sort things out and get the help that I need for my teeth? Thanks in advance

Q.

He does not offer a brace facility but would refer me to one.Is it wise for all the family to move to another dentist where the dentist treats kids on the NHS if a brace may be required and for my husband and myself to go private as we are now? I am just thinking for the future as she has sucked her thumb for so long.
