My teeth are crooked so it makes it difficult to clean them, could I have braces on the NHS to help me?

Q. i’m 29 years old and my teeth are quite crooked on the top and bottom. this makes it harder for them to be properly clean when i brush my teeth and often need cleaning when i go to the dentist. this proves quite difficult because i am warfarin which means my gums bleed alot more than normal. is it possible to have them straightened or have veneers on the NHS to help me thanks,
A. In my opinion these problems would not normally be enough to justify NHS treatment by Veneers or Orthodontics. A good electric toothbrush and in some cases a water jet/ pik are good tools to help improve the gum condition and bleeding. Regards Rob
