Would I be able to get NHS train tracks for my jaw that is moving forward?

Q. Hi Julian, Back two years ago I had retainers to bring my jaw forward because it was 0.8 Mm forward than the bottom jaw. I could not keep the retainers in and had them for about 6months, now my jaw is naturally going forward, I measured it about it about 0.4mm. Now that its going forward its self, do you think the NHS will allow me to have ‘train track’ braces? Sorry about my terminology ! My two front teeth have stuck out since I was young, the other teeth are now pushing behind the two front teeth, making them stick out further and now a gap is occuring between the two teeth at the front. What sort of treatment would it require? Would the NHS accept me back? If not, how much would you think it would cost going private. Thanks very much.,
A. You will need to be assessed by an NHS dentist for ur problem – no quick answer- sorry
