Answers:
It seems that NHS free braces stopped being available in 2006. Check http://www.dentalhealth.org.uk/pressrele...
where they state 'The cost of orthodontic treatment varies although it may be free for some people if they have a serious clinical need.' There is a contact phone # on that page.
Ask your friends about their experience. They may know of somewhere afforable. I did a search for Free Dental Braces on http://uk.yahoo.com/, and the best I came up with was interest free finance at one UK clinic. But I didn't check every page in detail.
Some people go abroad for dental work, but if you add in the cost of travel and accommodation, maybe it is not such a great bargain. Yet I found a link www.vitaleurope.com which quoted in sterling for crowns, working out close to 300 euro a time. I know someone who got 3 crowns at her local dentist in Ireland and they cost almost one thousand euro each.

There a scam, Thats what we pay our taxes for (The NHS). I thought if you was under 16 it was free but when you are over 16 they charge you. But they see it as a good earner as people have to go a couple of times a year, and you dont go to the hospital that often (Hopefully).
But remember the whole of the tax system in the uk is to screw over the hard workers and give it to the people on the dole who cant be bothered to work.
He thinks is will straighten her teeth while in the growing stages. It is not necessary for health or eating. You do not have to pay for the brace. The dentist will obviously not reduce the price so it is affordable... If your daughter is healthy what more can you ask? Go to another dentist --

Below is a statement from www.dentalhealth.org.uk. Your child is allowed free NHS dental treatment up until the age of 18.
You can have orthodontic treatment under the National Health Service or as a private patient. National Health treatment is free for children up to the age of 18 and students up to the age of 19 based as long as there is a clinical need. Other people entitled to free treatment are patients on a low income, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Everyone else has to pay the NHS charges. There is no charge for treatment in hospital departments.
You will only be entitled to treatment under the NHS if your condition is serious. Minor problems may be classed as cosmetic and would therefore be charged privately.
If you decide to have treatment privately, the orthodontist will be able to estimate the cost of your treatment and give you details. It is always a good idea to discuss the cost fully before treatment and, if necessary, have the cost confirmed in writing to avoid any confusion.
