If your on the NHS can you can invisible….?

nope u have to pay for clear ones as the reason they are clear is for cosmetic reasons and not health. i think its about £300 depending where u get them. braces arent all that noticeable anyway aslong as u dont smile with a big grin. when i saw my friend for the first time after i smiled an sed “LOOK!” an she said “what?” an i had to say “my bracess” an she was like “oh yeh” LOL

nice colours are baby pink and baby blue 🙂

i got my top brace fitted last week, i was so scared i was crying before id even got in the room! and i can honestly tell the fitting of the brace is painless, a few hours after you feel sensitivity when biting chewing food or clenching teeth together, so if you take a painkiller and eat soft foods for a while you’ll be fine

the time you have your brace depends on how straigh/twonky your teeth are before the brace, usually ranges from 9-18monthes, then a retainer is worn for a few monthes after, and u MUST wear this retainer when told to do so for a certain amount of time, a friend of mine didnt wear it and her teeth moved again! so havin her brace all those monthes was pointless.

no it doesnt make your top lip stick out noticeably, with your mouth closed noone would ever know you had a brace.

theres nothing to worry about, and think how lovely ur smile will be after!!

You have to pay for invisible ones. On NHS they’re all the same silver ones and you just get a choice of bands. The average time is about 2 years to go through both the fitted braces and a retainer but the amount of time you have each one depends on your teeth. If they’re sticking outwards you’ll need to wear the fitter ones for longer and if they’re outwards you nees to wear the retainer for longer.

When they put it on, it doesn’t really hurt until they put the wire in tight, then your teeth are all pulled tight together and it feels uncomfortable but it will only last a few hours every time you see the orthodontist and he tightens it, so don’t worry too much because it’s not like it’s going to be permanently uncomfortable. Try taking some paraccetemol or something just before you go in to make it more comfortable.

It can make your lip go out a little bit. A lot of people develop a slight curl in their top lip but it won’t look really weird, it’ll probably only be you that notices it.

You’ll be fine, don’t worry about it too much and just remember even if it does get painful, it’s not going to last for long.

RE:

If you’re on the NHS (National Hospital Service, free. I think =S im 14)

Anyway if you’re on the NHS and getting braces fitted with them, can you get invisible braces? Not the colour of the bands, I mean the wire that is usually silver/metal, I want it to be clear so it’s not visible as im 14 and…

To be honest I’ve seen your questions and I have no clue what NHS stands for. You might be able to get cheaper braces by telling them that somebody reccomended them to a specific orthadontist, or if you have a close family member like a brother or sister that has had braces from there you might get a discount. Insurance pays a little less than half of it as well. Your not going to find cheap or free braces. You’ll still have to pay like $3,000.

Hi Bee,

go to www.vitaleurope.co.uk they are in Oxford Circus. They say you can get them privately or on NHS if you are under 17.They do say that you will have to be seen first to be assessed though as some treatments needed may require further work than NHS will allow, but hey, it’s worth a try!!!

Good luck babes.

Love Mel,X

no you can’t and there is no guarentee that you’ll get your braces free on the NHS anyway

average time of having braces is about 18 months

You get what you are given.

If you want “special” ones then be prepared to pay for them.
