Dental care

Now don't get me wrong I don't have terrible teeth, but I'm not happy with my smile :frown:

I had braces on the front of my teeth and being 19 i don't particuarly wish to have them again..

I was wondering if there were any alternatives? Preferably those covered by an HC2 form?

Do you want straighter teeth? I'm not clear on what it is your asking :confused:

Being that the HC2 form is government-funded, it will only cover dental work that is essentail for medical reasons, or unless you can prove that you are borderline going mad/suicidal because of how bad you look. Anything else, you will have to most likely pay for the NHS work or go private...

I asked recently about having braces and apparantly they are only available free on the NHS for full time students under the age of 18 and those who have severe cases- so basically if you want them, you will have to pay for them privately. This can cost anything from £2000-£5000 depending on what you have done and where. I know there is an invisible brace now, but its very expensive. Or you could look at having veneers, but these are also expensive.

I work at a dentists and I'm afraid that braces or veneers are really the only option for straighter teeth, and they are pretty expensive. If you're really upset though, book a review with your dentist, or mention it next time you see them, they'll discuss any options through with you and help tell you if theres anything else you can do
