Is the surgery that i need available on the NHS?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Q. I am 21 years old. About 6 years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 15 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased. I am 21 and would like to know if i can get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Many Thanks,,
