NHS care is available to under 18s who require orthodontic treatment for dental
health reasons like severe crowding or protrusion of the teeth. Unfortunately
treatment for more cosmetic problems is not usually available on the NHS.
Anyone under the age of 18 is eligible for a free consultation to determine whether
they qualify for NHS treatment and you can contact us directly to organise an
appointment. You do not need to be referred to us by your dentist.
We are only given a limited amount of NHS funding each year and those who do
qualify for treatment may have to join a waiting list before treatment can begin.
NHS treatment is carried out by our expert team of specialist orthodontists and
orthodontic therapists. Appointments are usually only available between 9am and
5pm during term time.
If you are not suitable for NHS treatment we also offer private care, which is
available for all ages and offers a number of benefits over NHS care, including
flexible appointment times and a choice of the latest invisible braces.
