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.

Do I need fixed braces or can I have Invisalign aligners?

November 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr,
I would like to have Invisalign braces because they are not very obvious looking, but my current dentist says that I need fixed braces. I only have three crooked teeth on my lower mouth at the front so I can’t see why I need a fixed brace. My dentist doent do Invisalign so perhaps this is why.

My retainers cause me gum pain

November 3rd, 2014
Q.

I’ve had braces for about a year and a half from 28th march 2012 to 8th September 2013 however, I have not been wearing my retainers for after treatment due to them hurting my gums but I wore them for 9 months and stopped. Now that I do not wear my retainers I have noticed that my teeth are slowly moving back which are causing me to have pains. I do wish to have braces again, but would like to know if I would pay and how much itll cost me. I am currently 17 and a student at college.
