NHS Treatment

We want you to be aware, before we see your child, that NHS treatment may not be available if their health need does not fit the new NHS criteria. The initial examination by an orthodontist will be free of charge on the NHS.

Those who qualify for NHS treatment will have their brace fitted at the first possible
appointment, this will be determined by the current waiting list and availability based
on the practices NHS contract with the local Primary Care Trust. For NHS treatment
we use all metal braces and have limited appointment times that may on occasion
mean your child taking time off school. If you would like to start treatment without the
need to go on a waiting list or you feel aesthetic braces and more flexible appointment
times are important to you, then please take a look at our independent or private
treatment options, where we are able to operate outside the restrictions of the
NHS system.

If you wish to find out our approximate current waiting times then please
contact the practice.
