So far, so good.

Hello All, Sorry for the suspense... The pursuit of a perfect smile has resulted me wearing my braces for the last three years. Now, I’m on the 'home run' and this year, hopefully, it will be my last year in braces. Just have the correction of the overbite and upper teeth overhang to the lower teeth...

UK - 33 yr old Male - Linguals and Ceramics

Hello all, I am long time reader, visitor and lurker of this site and always pondered if I should get my teeth straighten. When I was 11-12yrs old, I had the opportunity on the NHS to get my teeth straighten. Yet I declined the offer, because at high school it was never a friendly environment to hav...

Try:

The consultation, I think it was free or less than £60.

I had ceramics on lower and linguals on top and this came to £4125... The cost may have gone up now, but would not fault the service I've recieved, its excellent.

2yrs gone so fast....

I would seriously seek another othodontic to correct the problem.... After 3yrs and no signs improvement, i suggest you start looking again again and treat this $11k as a bad investment decision. As for lingual braces... Nothing wrong with having these braces when fitted and adjusted by experts... Y...

I'm with Barbican Orthodontic practice. They specialise only on what they know, orthodontics. I believe they have some additional branches in London so really easy to get minor problems fixed. For example, trimming of archwire and fixing missing elastics caused by eating or any other issues encounte...

Try: Barbican Orthodontics They do Linguals (incognito) braces which are super. I wear linguals on the top and ceramics on the bottom. Linguals are great, no problems with speech after two weeks. However, with linguals you have to be careful on how you eat your food cause the elastic bands do easily...
