I have orthodontic probelm due to which I have cuts in my cheek now.

Q. When i was 17 years of age, i required braces and the dentist told me i would be contacted in 3-4 months, she was polish and i dont think she new the procedures well, i was busy for a-level revision so couldnt make any dentist appoinments. now im 18 nearly 19 and i require braces as my teeth are out of line which unables me to chew my food properly(my front teeth dont connect), also my wisdom teeth burrow into my check causing cuts in my cheek, i was wondering if this procedure will cost me and if so how much, also if i should be entitles to free care from the nhs as the case is more than just wanting nice teeth.

A. You would need to see an NHS orthodontic practice to see if you qualify for NHS treatment and what the charges would be. Your local PCT (primary healthcare trust ) will have details of your local practices.Rob
