Getting braces on the NHS
So a couple years back the nhs denied me braces, im now 17 and i was wondering if there is still a possiblility i could get them on the nhs. Is there anything i can say to the dentist that could change his opinion e.g i get bullied via my teeth or i cant eat proper?

Dentists aren't idiots... do you honestly think that he won't be able to tell that your teeth aren't preventing you from eating 'proper'? If it's purely cosmetic, you have to save up and go private.
