Will I have to pay for my braces?

November 12th, 2014
Q.

Hi,
i’m 18 in November and i’m being referred to a orthodontist on the 18th of September will I need to pay for my braces? or will I still get them on the NHS?
I have one too majorly out of line (too far into my mouth) and its causing problems that’s why my dentist recommended braces but I’m not too sure if I could afford to pay for braces since I’m still in full time education. Any information that you could give me would be great.
thanks for your help.

I want discreet braces for my 12 year old daughter

October 17th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I wondered if you could help me.My daughter is 12 years old and has been told that she will need orthodontic treatment. This is at an NHS clinic we go to. They say she will have to wear fixed braces on both her top and bottom teeth. My daughter is not at all happy about this and has been crying about the prospect. At first I thought she would come around to the idea but it has been going on for over a month now. If I was to look into private dental clinics would there be more discreet options for my daughter or would they be the same fixed braces? Thanks for your time.

What braces can my teenage daughter wear?

October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor,
My teenage daughter has been told that she will need to have braces because she has an overbite. She is very upset about this because she is a very shy girl and finds it hard to make friends and talk to people as it is. Out current dentist has told her that the braces will be fixed and she just doesn’t want them and is refusing even to discuss this with us.
I would like to know more information about the braces that are available privately as i do not know much about this subject matter. If she came to your practice what braces would you possibly suggest that are more discreet?
