i am 51 yrs old, am i to old for a brace, my teeth dont stick out much, but i have a gap and would love to get rid of it, also my bottom teeth are crooked, and rub on the top of my gums, would the treatment be very exspensive? i did wear a brace when i was younger but did not wear it as long as i should have, which now i am sorry, could you please try and give me a rough idear what could be done for me and if i could wear a brace at my age, i dont want to loose my teeth.
I had maxillofacial surgery on upper and lower jaw as weel as rotation of the lower jaw in order to correct a protruding lower jaw. The surgery seemed to be successful but after I had my braces removed I am not happy with the inclusion of my teeth. It seems that when the jaw are in a biting position the frontal incissors are angled out and they are resting on the top of my bottom lip. Although my orthodontist is ensisting that the gap is 3mm it feels to me that the gap is bigger than it should be. In additing the teeth line between the two front incissors is not in the centre of the face but it tends to be more towards the right hand side of the smile. As I mentioned earlier my orthodontist is ensisting that the teeth are perfect and they do not need any further work. What do you think I should do?
My daughter has had extensive orthodontic work as a child to straigthen and move her top front teeth. Following this she was fitted with a back of teeth fixed brace. This has been fine until recently when it slackened. She has visited the denitist (not the one who had done the work but same practice) and he tightened it. It appears he has tightened it too much and her teeth have shifted leaving a mm gap between her teethy. This has really upset her she has body image issues and I think in part this has been a dental error. my daughter is employed on a 0 hour contact so work isn’t regular and she only gets mimium wage please can you suggest a way forward

Hello Doctor,
I am looking to treat myself to a set of braces and after seeing that recent picture of Holly Willoughby would like a pair of her braces. I think they were 6 months smiles could these be used in the treatment of large gap between my two front teeth? I so not have any other problem just this so could you suggest a general treatment time and price?
I really appreciate any help you can give and thank you very much for your time
