How can I reduce the costs of my orthodontic treatment whilst studying in the UK?

Q.
Hi!

I’m a student from Germany studying at University in England. I have been under orthodontic treatment since April 2010 in Germany due to a missing milk tooth. I have got braces on my lower teeth, trying to do an orthodontic closure of space. I would need to go for adjustment of braces every 3-4 weeks, but am being asked to pay a huge sum of money for every visit (around 140 pounds).

Being a student, I am unable to afford this, especially since I am also paying for treatment in Germany. Could you please advise me how to go about this and to possibly reduce costs. I also have a European Insurance, could I use that in England as well?

Thank you in advance and kind regards.

Dear Enquirer,
I’m afraid your insurance will not cover orthodontic treatment which is regarded as a cosmetic treatment.
