I was too embarrassed to leave the house, I even started to avoid my own family because I was scared they would judge me for how bad they’d got.” - Jade Simmons

“People used to think my teeth were bad from taking drugs and my own daughter said I looked like I’d been chewing rocks. It’s a difficult thing to come to terms with but when I look at my smile in the mirror now, I’m forever grateful to the clinic for completely changing my life.

I was scared to eat food. Every time I heard a crack I instantly knew what it was and would burst into tears.

I didn’t want to leave the house; I wore a mask at work to keep my mouth covered at all times and I even avoided seeing my own mum out of anxiety and embarrassment.”
