Hi
A friend of mine is planning to come to the UK to study next year from her home country (Vietnam, if that's relevant). She currently has braces on her teeth, and her dentist just told her that they are due to come off in the same year that she plans to be in the UK.
I know that getting braces on isn't covered by the NHS. How about getting them removed? I can't seem to find any documentation on that.
Would the removal of braces be covered any of the payment bands outlined here:

This page notes under Band 1
Would removing or checking braces fall under "adjusting"?
Thanks for any input you can offer.
