im considering to have mandibular osteotomy is it possible to have invisalign braces instead
Q. Hi I am 22 years old and am considering firstly having a mandibular osteotomy and brace treatment. Due to my age I am reluctant to have traintracks again (I have already had traintrack treatment when I was 15, which was unsuccessful). I have been to see an NHS surgeon and orthadontist about this, and they have recommended that I have the treatment. Firstly I would like to ask if its possible to have either Invisalign braces or the braces that go behind your teeth under NHS, or whether they will pay partly towards this? Due to my age traintracks are not an option for me. Also I would like to ask whether it is possible to have the invisalign braces done privately, but the surgery done on the NHS, since I cannot afford the expense? Thank you.
A. Hi
you are having quite a complex treatment , post osteotomy they will wire your jaw and you will have to have conventional braces for this and the nhs will not cover invisalign or any private treatment.
once they have completed their work and the jaw has set you can then consider invisalign.
