Would i be eligible for braces?!
Question: Would i be eligible for braces.?
ok,i live in the UK and am nearly 30..I have very squint teeth,top and bottom set, they're starting to get worse and am very unhappy with them..I was given the chance to have braces as a child,but turned it down due to the fact i was getting badly bullied at school and braces would only make things worse..Would i be able to get my teeth straightened now with braces and would i be able to get them from my NHS registered dentist.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
You are able to get this treatment on the NHS if your dentist refers you to an orthodontist and they feel there is a dental problem that can be solved.... From what you are saying the over bite and over crowding could be seen as this.. The crutial bit is you need to get your NHS dentist to agree to refer you.. The referal process can take from 6 months to 2 years just to see an orthodontist..
Not all health boards will cover orthodontics.. I had braces put on when I was 40 and the orthodotistst I dealt with only worked NHS which was great total cost for 2 1/2 years treatment
