I m 14,will I be able to get the braces and whats the cost?

Q. Hiya, I’m 14 and have just been advised to get braces :( . I have a huge overbite due to sucking my thumb at an early age and I really hate it. I’m really interested in getting my teeth straightened, have deneers and having my teeth whitened. Will I be able to get this treatment at my age and how much will it cost? Thanks.

A. At your age you can have braces on the NHS at no cost, however this does depends on your case but it sounds like you may be a candidate.
Veneers are not recommended at your age. I think you will find that once your  teeth are straightened you will not need veneers. If you would like to whiten your teeth i advise you wait till you are 18.
Kind regards
