Can i have treatment on NHS i have mouth ulcers and crooked teeth
Q. I suffer with severe mouth ulcers but have crooked teeth that i am very concious over and would like to be straightened but i have been told that having a brace would just cause even more discomfort for my ulcers. is there any other alternative brace other than having a ‘train track’ type that would cause me discomfort, or any other type of surgery that could straighten my teeth. I am 19 and in full time education so would be enquiring as to prices aswell and if i would be able to get any of this surgery on the NHS. Thank you for your help.
A. The other options for brace work might be invisalign or clear step. This uses very small mouthguard type appliances to gradually move your teeth an would be far less irritating than a conventional fixed brace. Unfortunately this treatment is not available on the NHS – I typically charge in the region of £3400.00 for this type of treatment
