Q.
I have hated my teeth since I was very little. When I was younger, my dentist said my mouth was too small to accommodate all my adult teeth and I had about 8 removed. Since then I have continually (due to cost) just kept getting my teeth removed if I have a problem as the thought of having silver fillings or the cost of other treatments have meant I have to keep having them out. I now have a mouth of squint teeth in bad condition because of this and I’m only 27. I did have an appointment to find out about getting at least a brace and I was told this would cost in the region of £5000 and half of this would have to be paid upfront then monthly instalments there after. I would in all honesty , chop off my arm to have beautiful teeth as this has been my hang up since I was a young child. Recently, I got married and I tried my hardest not to smile showing my teeth, but as it was such a happy occasion and the photographer kept asking me to smile with my teeth, I can’t bring myself to look at my photos. I have a terrible credit history due to a previous relationship where my ex left to to pay for everything as when we split up, he stopped working to all the creditors chased me. I’m not looking for a sympathy vote, just to ask if you know of anyway I can have veneers done on my top teeth without having to pay a huge deposit or use a credit reference agency. Do you know of any dentists who will let me pay them up for the treatment before I actually get it so they know I am an honest person, just stuck in a horrible dilemma? Hoping you can answer some of my questions. Many thanks
