To qualify for free braces on the NHS, you must be under 18 and meet specific clinical criteria based on the severity of your dental issues. Your orthodontist will assess your teeth using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) to determine if your case warrants treatment. Additionally, your family must meet certain income thresholds or be receiving specific benefits. It's essential to consult with an NHS orthodontist for a proper evaluation.
IF your problem is severe enough to qualify for NHS treatment, it's considered complex dental treatment in the pricing scale. #200 I believe.
If your teeth are 5 inches too far out then the NHS will provide free braces for you and even retainers. If they are wonky but below 5 inch then you will have to pay around £3.500. (Crikey)
No unless you are over 18
In the UK, if you are on Jobseeker's Allowance, you may be eligible for free dentures through the NHS. Typically, you need to be receiving certain benefits, including Jobseeker's Allowance, to qualify for free dental treatment. It's advisable to check with your dentist or the NHS for specific eligibility requirements and to confirm what services are covered.
You can get almost any colour, right now I have teal. I am on the nhs in Wales so it might be different if you live in Scotland or England. Hope this helped.

There is no dentist anywhere who does free braces.
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust was created in 1991.

All treatment that is clinically necessary is available on NHS. Dental implants and even braces are covered but only if there is a medical need for them. NHS does not include cosmetic treatment so the implant must be essential to preserve good oral health.
for bottom and top braces around £2000 but you may want to try getting them on the NHS (uk) like i did then you dont have to pay anything
In general, braces should remain on until your orthodontist determines that your teeth are fully aligned and finished with treatment. Removing braces prematurely can lead to misalignment or complications. If there are specific reasons for wanting to remove them early, you should discuss this with your orthodontist. On the NHS, orthodontic treatment typically follows standard protocols, so it's best to consult with your orthodontist about your options.
