Could the gaps in my teeth be repaired under the NHS

Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi. Many thanks in advance for taking time out to read, and hopefully answer my question. Over 20 years ago I had a dental brace, but for the last few years, my teeth have started to move. It appears that because of the gaps in my teeth I have developed a “rasp or lisp” in my speech, which is very distinctive. My question is this. I realise and accept to have a dental brace will cost me money. I am prepared to pay this. However, in view of the fact the gaps in my teeth are causing me to speak with a lisp/rasp, could the gaps in my teeth (one of which must be close to 1cm) be repaired under the NHS, or if not, would it cost of a dental brace have to be funded soley by myself? I am intent on having a brace, and this question is the first step in progressing. Many thanks
