You only get one go at NHS orthodontics and although you qualify for genuine clinical need this treatment needs to done at the correct time. If it is done to early and fails because of bone growth you will not get a second go.
Your mum can phone and ask but they will not do it any earlier because of your individual needs. If you want she can request that your dentist refers you to the orthodontist for a discussion appointment and then perhaps you will settle down to wait when the orthodontist has told you the facts and figures himself.
There is off course the private option to starting earlier but the treatment will be really slow and long term to accommodate bone growth and will cost over £2,500.
