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

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

recently tried getting braces through the nhs but they seem to think once i take them off then my teeth will just move back to how they were, is there any other treatments i could have?

I think you are now too old to have free NHS treatment but you could check with your dentist

No Reynold you are not eligible for nhs and the cost of treatment depends on severity of the condition and which type of braces you opt for
