Sorry to tell you that are you are 20 years old you will NOT be able to receive Orthodontic Treatment on the National Health Service for free.

Even if you were under the age of 18 you would still have to meet a very strict criteria in order to receive Nhs Funding for ortho treatment.

The Index Of Orthodontic Treatment Need is now used to decide which cases are severe enough to warrant treatment funded by the Nhs.

You would be graded on a scale of 1-5, 1 being almost perfection and 5 being for severe dental health problems.

As I have already said due to your age and your case being mainly cosmetic NHS funding will not be available to you and you will be expected to pay for any treatment, ask the orthodontist if he/she offers some kind of payment plan where you can pay a certain amount of money towards your treatment each month.

I know it sounds harsh but NHS funding is limited so the orthodontist has to be 100% certain that the right people are receiving the nhs funding.

It would be unfair if you were to be given braces for cosmetic purposes and somebody else is denied when their case is severe enough to cause them Dental Health Problems.

Orthodonist/braces question!!!?

The typical cost of braces ranges widely in various regions. The cost depends on whether both arches are being treated and the length of treatment. Typical orthodontic treatment comprises metal braces on both arches for 12 to 24 months. The 2007 orthodontic practice study done by the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics showed the United States national average cost of braces for comprehensive orthodontic treatment to be $2,000 for children and $5,354 for adults.[citation needed] Some cases in the United Kingdom cost £3,500, although they can much of the time be provided free on the NHS, providing the patient is under 18, a student up to 19, a pregnant woman, a nursing mother or living on a low income.

In some European countries (e.g. Norway, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Germany, Croatia or Denmark) orthodontic treatment is available without charge to patients under 18 (or for treatment to start at 16, such as Republic of Ireland and the UK) as benefits for orthodontic treatment are provided under government-run health care systems. However, in the UK, the National Health Service will not pay for braces if the teeth do not a have protrusion of over 5mm; if there is not a protrusion, it is classed as cosmetic. In some countries (e.g. Ireland), adults can also get treatment at a discounted rate, or claim tax relief after paying a full cost with a private practitioner.

In India this treatment can cost anywhere between INR 10000 to INR 80000. The cost also depends on the type of braces, the type of city the patient is in and on the orthodontist's skill and experience.

In Saudi Arabia the price of treatment ranges between 3500SR to 15000SR.

In Serbia brace for one part of the jaw (upper or lower) is 700 euros or 800 euros if clear braces are used.

In the Philippines, the price of dental braces costs Php40000 to Php70000.
