Would I be able to get free orthodontic braces from the NHS?!
Question: Just wondering, my teeth need a little bit of a tune up, and I've not been in the UK for long. & was wondering if I would be able to get free braces with the NHS.
It's not a big re-alignment, just my bottom teeth have shifted a little since I had braces a few years ago.

I'm not sure about foreign nationals for that sort of treatment. But I know that for UK citizens it will depend on both your age and score on th Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need. It sounds like you won't score anywhere near high enough to qualify so probably not.
