Unfortunately NHS braces are metal only. The others can be had at extra cost. I had mine done at the age of 18 and had them till 20 during my university years, you eventually just get used to having them on. :biggrin:

So did I, but then you and others will get used to it. It's not as bad as you think especially if it's only for a year!!!! :u:

I just thought about the potential reward after getting them.

Invisalign cost a lot. Trust me braces aren't that bad and you'll get used to them after a while. They dont really look bad on anyone tbh.
