For NHS treatment, which is free for eligible under-18s and reached by dentist referral rather than by contacting a practice: NHS dental services around EH40 are commissioned by NHS Lothian; the nearest practice listing NHS orthodontics is 78 MARKET STREET in Haddington, 5 miles away; and complex cases are referred to hospital orthodontic departments such as Dundee Dental Hospital in Dundee, about 35 miles away.

A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 130 to 260 miles and 3 to 7 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £60 to £115 in running costs.
