Glad you got accepted and can start your treatment soon (ish) :lol: As for a timeline for your operation, it really depends on how much your teeth need to move. And this is a matter of nature, rather than NHs waiting times! :lol: It is typically a year, sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit soone...

My surgery and treatment was all done in London on the NHS - I did pay for the supply of white brackets (about £270) but I don't think all orthodontists ...
