Teeth straightening, which braces?

Ok first things first I want to explain why I'm asking. I'm getting married in about 1year 3weeks and I hate my smile. I never show my teeth when I smile because they're a bit squinty. I don't want to have to avoid smiling at my wedding though, or cringe when I get my photos back. My teeth aren't bad enough to NEED braces but I really want them. I'm not rolling in cash either.


I've been having a look online at all the different types of teeth straightening products there are out there. The last one I looked at, invisalign, ranges in price from £3000 - £7000 which is just too expensive for me! Does anyone know of a chepaer alternative without me having to go through the 'brace face' look (as an adult I'd be too embarrassed and worried they weren't off before my wedding next year). Also does anyone know if I can get help with costs through private dental care even though the braces aren't needed I just want them. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Teeth straightening, which braces?
you can get braces which sit on the inside of ur teeth as oppose to the outside. so they'd be invisible. i dont know how much these cost tho but worth looking into if you want them that bad.

Reply:Go to see a dentist to see what would be best although if you didn't to do something that would take a while teeth straightening. I'm 13 and had six teeth removed to make enough room for the rest of my teeth and now i'm fine. My twin sis had the same done but she had to have retainer. They are a seethrough brace that you wear at night. Although he had to wait about 1 month and a half to get our teeth done and they were done half at a time so it was about a week in total.
Reply:Well if you ask your dentist (if you havent already) about braces. Usually, your dentist decides if you need braces or not. If he/she says 'yes' then you shoudlnt have to pay but if he/she says 'no' then you would have to pay because you wouldnt normally need them.


Actually braces work fast. My teeth were quite bad and i wore them for 1 1/2 years and now my teeth are amazingly straight. too straight infact. and you can ask anytime for your dentist to get them off so you could get them off in time for your wedding.


But depending on whether you need them that much or not will say how much you would need to pay. And if you did need to pay then i would look around at many orthodontists as there are quite alot around (already 5 in my town) as the prices will vary alot.





Hope that helps.
