braces!!!?
im in year 12 at the moment.. about to go into year 13 after the summer holidays.. my dentist said i should get braces now rather than later becasue one of my front teeth seems to be growing out a bit.. im older now and no one at skool has them so its gonna be embarrassing.. i went to see an orthodontic and he told me to wear these 'functional appliances' on my top teeth and the bottom.. its such a slow procedure i dont think they're actually making any difference to my teeth.. i wanna get my treatment over and done with as quickly as possible becasue i will be goin to uni in september 2009 and i dont want to still be wearing them then.. i was thinking is there any other way i can get my teeth straightened other than having the 'train-track' braces.. something i can get under the nhs?? please help...

If you dont go for the braces now you will end up paying when you are older. I am 13 years old and the dentist told me that if I did not have the treatment now when I am older to get all the treatment I need (braces) it would coast £1,600. You will get it free if you are under 18 but get them now before it is to late. Also you might think that your teeth do not need straightening and that the braces will not work that well but actually after you have finished your treatment you find that your teeth were actually worse than what you thought in the first place. It is amazing what they do and after the first week looking in the mirror you find a big difference straight away. Go for it and I bet you will not regret it.
Holly what your persons think of should not be counted in case you decide on braces and are not getting them it ought to reason some terrible soreness to the overlapping tooth as you grow previous. Your roots commence bumping at the same time and boy do I undergo in techniques that soreness!!!!!! do no longer forget your tooth. here is my propose: do no longer do the sparkling!! Why? The sparkling is obvious and in actuality invisible yet they are very cumbersome and can be seen baring on your lips once you mouth is close. I rather have the huge-unfold steel braces with silver bands, they mixture with the steel and that they slightly bulge! stable luck!
Lol I got braces when I was in 6th grade and got them off when I was in 10th. Don't worry what ppl think..I remeber at my bus and I was laughing because my friend told me something funny. This guy he looked at my teeth. and he wish he had them. Because You can change the color every month. I say get the thing that works faster so you don't have to wear it that long XD.
Go for Invisalign. The clear alternative to braces.
Remove your aligners to eat, brush and floss
NHS sucks! I donot think you will get anything done under NHS because their treatment last up to 16 year of age(mostly teenagers) after that you have to pay.
If you are looking for a type of invisible brace just go to the link below:
