3 dentists agreeing on something is more of a minor miracle!
How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -

Hi,
I'm 27 and have a 9mm over bite. I previously wasn't too concerned with my looks but as my wisdom teeth have come in the have knocked my teeth out of line. (They were pretty straight outwith the overbite) Now my teeth are over lapping and I find it more difficult to talk as I feel my tongue catches on one tooth at the front. This is effecting my work life as I'm very consious of my mouth, I get very nervous during meetings as I feel worried that I don't pronounce things correctly. My boss has brought it to my attention that he has noticed my that I'm not speaking up.
Is there a treatment that won't cost the earth? Would the NHS cover me for braces?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....0 -
Chezza, you may want to start a completely new thread on this as people will notice it better?0
