Cheaper Invisalign?
I had braces for about 4 years in my teens and i had really bad teeth before then ( one of my front tooth was practically in front of the other making it hard to eat )
My teeth were perfectly straight and i wore my retainer for the right amount of time, but my teeth are still moving back over the past few years and I'm worried there going to be back to how they were.
Invisalign is about 3,000 i wouldn't be able to afford then for years or get them on finance with me being a student also i don't think i could have normal braces as my teeth aren't very strong (due to having really bad mourning sickness with my first child) so i don't think they could handle normal braces so id need Invisalign or something similar.

There is no short cut to this one as they are only ever a private option and you need to remember that the price quoted is for the entire treatment period and retainers whether it is six months or six years.
The NHS has only ever worked with under 19 and in full time education and you have has your one course of treatment. They only fund the one. You also could have had a new retainer made to fit and stop any further treatment once you were aware a problem was occurring and you would not be in this position.
The teaching hospitals only help out really very complex cases that need specialist referral and would be hard to get into .
You will gain nothing by travelling abroad either as it will be extremely difficult to find a UK orthodontist to continue the treatment plan because of issues of liability so the time and expense of follow up abroad will need to added in. [source: Yahoo! Answers]
