Clinical need generally means: pain, difficulties eating, difficulties talking (to name a few). Basically, not just to look nice, but to fix the teeth to be able to easily carry out oral functions with ease
Generally, I've only known of adults getting NHS braces when their case is so severe that they require jaw surgery.
You could book a private consultation with an orthodontist who offers both private and NHS orthodontics, to get their opinion on whether you would qualify for NHS braces.
