yeah, that does seem like although the longer solution to the problem..the best one because once the braces come off thats it for life you're sorted

Cazzi, but braces arent the answer for everyone... as his can be corrected with veneers or implants a lot of the time since your teeth shift all the time your teeth go back into the original position and this leads to a longer treatment and a lot more money to be spent on fixing the problem again there is no point in putting someone who has quite a minor problem with his teeth in a set of braces we know what the pain is like but i dont think he needs to go through that as he has many other options... xoxo

you cannot get invisalign on NHS! dont know how expensive it is....thats another factor which ur friend has to consider is the price of the appliances..... however they arent really that expensive if he starts his treatment now..... but most orthodontic practices have payment plans such as £20 per month or something like that to pay for appliances if he wishes to pay for them xoxo

invisalign i think you can get on NHS but only as a retainer.....(im pushing for that for my own retainer!!!) dont know how expensive it is....thats another factor which ur friend has to consider is the price of the appliances..... however they arent really that expensive if he starts his treatment now..... but most orthodontic practices have payment plans such as £20 per month or something like that to pay for appliances if he wishes to pay for them xoxo

so you could get invisalign for 20 quid a month...not bad

and bye cazzi and thanks

sorry just rang orthodontic practice 4 u.....orthodontic practices cannot provide it on NHS as it is a cosmetic rather than fixing a problem and the NHS believe that the normal traintracks can do just as well as invisalign.... im not sure if thats how much it will cost for invisalign as many charge different rates but his orthodontist will inform him of that xoxo
