I’m 13 years old, why can I not get braces on the NHS?

Friday, August 19th, 2011
Q.

Why wont the NHS fund my braces?

I went to the orthodontist in hope to get braces for my teeth, and my orthodontist said i have a 4mm overbite and overjet and also a lot of gaps that are the same size throughout my teeth. She said I would have to go private if i want them. I would need a standard brace which about 2000 – 3000 pounds. My mum cannot afford that because she does not work because my brother has autism and he gets fed through a tubein his stomach. Also he cannot talk. So she has to stay at home to look after him and take him to school. I just want straight teeth, i hate smiling because everybody sees my horrid teeth. By the way I am 13 years old.

Would I be able to have two sets of braces from two different orthodonists, one private, one NHS?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am hoping to get NHS braces on my lower teeth (I am under 18) and six month smile braces for the upper teeth at the same time, but at different practices. Would the orthodontist object to this, and is it likely that they will insist that I complete one treatment first before starting the other?
Thanks in advance.

I am 18, can I get free braces on the NHS?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hello,

The front part of my bottom teeth are out of place, a few overlap the others and I was wondering if it would be possible to get braces to help? And how much they would cost? I am 18 years old, and I have heard that it would be free with the NHS. Is that correct?

A.
No as you are over 18 now

I am 23 years old and in full time education, can I get braces on the NHS?

Friday, January 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi there,

My question is in relation to orthodontic surgery.

I am currently 23 years old and in Full time education.

I had permanent braces fitted when i was a teenager and they were removed at the age of 15. I wore my retainer for the time scales my dentist advised. When i first had the braces fitted at 14 the dentist did not advise i needed to have any teeth removed, however I have had trouble with my wisdom teeth coming through and now my mouth feels over crowded.

Now 8 years later my top teeth have moved and my front 4 teeth had moved back to their original positions before having the braces!

I am really conscious of my smile, it’s not awful but i am aware of my teeth and have seen them looking better.

My main questions are – can i get braces again? And can adults only have invisylin? And what would the cost be? Being that i am a full time student will i get any benefit for this from the NHS or a discount? Your response would be much appreciated.

A.
Unfortunately you probably won… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
