NHS treatment is available to eligible patients aged under 18 years and is intended to provide treatment for those patients who require it on the grounds of health.
Such problems include severe protrusion of the teeth, severe mal-alignment or crowding of the teeth and congenitally missing teeth. Some less severe, but unaesthetic smiles may also qualify for treatment. Treatment for minor problems or cosmetic reasons alone is not usually available on the NHS. Patients desiring NHS treatment may be subject to a waiting list.
NHS treatment, like private, is carried out to a high standard by Specialist Orthodontists, however, is generally only available between 9.00-3.30pm and may not be available during school holidays.
For those patients not eligible for NHS treatment, we would be more than happy to discuss our other options of private care and their various finance schemes.
