Q.
I’m 21 years old and I’m unemployed. Am I allowed braces on the NHS?
The reason I ask is, from the age of 14 I have been bullied regarding my teeth. I’ve never had confidence because of this, I have received counselling and nothing has helped!
When I was 16 I asked my dentist for braces and he said I don’t need them and if I want them then I have to pay £2000, so after that I thought I’m never going to get straight teeth.
Today I decided to look up about prices and it stated that if I was under 18 I would have been able to get them on NHS!
I have had a very hard life regarding this.
How do I go about applying for NHS braces? Regards.
