Any ideas how much cost of braces is these days?

Really grown sick of my top teeth.. I mean they're not hillbillyish but they're not perfect like my friends and it bugs me so much :frown:

Free on NHS.

bearing in mind i'm 19 and a university student..

Why not consult your dentist. He will be able to give you a more accurate price that anyone here can.

I enquired about the cost of braces around 6 months ago, having had them free on the NHS when I was 15- but my teeth have now moved back. If you are over 18 then you will have to pay unless you are an extreme case, train track braces can cost anything between £2000-£3500, and the new invisible clear brace costs £3500+, obviously this will all depend on how much treatment you need individually and what your dentist charges. Best thing to do is to ask your dentist or make an appointment to see an orthodontist, they will advise you what sort of treatment you need and how long it will take, if you need any teeth out etc etc.
