The NHS typically provides orthodontic treatment, including braces, to children and young adults under 18 if they meet specific clinical criteria. There isn't a strict limit on the number of times one can receive braces, but repeat treatments may be less common. Adults may need to seek private treatment for braces, as NHS coverage for orthodontics is limited for them. Always consult with an orthodontist for personalized advice based on individual circumstances.
