NHS treatment
Under Government guidelines introduced in 2006, NHS orthodontic treatment is restricted to children under the age of 18 whose dental health and function is compromised; it is no longer available to those with mild irregularities who would derive only cosmetic benefit. However, all children under 18 are still eligible for a free NHS orthodontic assessment.
N.B. Re-treatment cases and all adult treatment are only available under private contract.
All our NHS patients receive the same professional care as our private patients, but treatment options are unfortunately limited to the funding available.
