July 20th, 2011

Hello Dr. Qureshi, Iam writing to you because I am a concerned mother. My son is due to start secondary school in september and has rather crooked teeth, our family dentist said she wants to wait til he’s older then refer him for a NHS brace. However I would like him to start secondary school with straighter teeth, I know its not possible for them to be perfect in 2months but Iam sure that we can start? He’s a really shy little boy and I dont want him to get bullied so whats the best method to get his teeth sorted? Money isn’t a issue, thansk for your help
