NHS TREATMENT

We offer NHS care for children, but adults are treated privately. We use all the latest techniques available under the NHS.

Removable, functional and metal fixed braces are all covered. We also use coloured elastics to brighten up the fixed braces.

The NHS will charge for lost braces and braces broken beyond repair.

The demand for treatment is very high and we have waiting lists for new patients to be seen.

From 1st April 2006, the NHS orthodontic regulations have changed. Some orthodontic problems (approximately 20%) are no longer funded by the NHS.

We are now able to offer private orthodontic treatment to those patients who do not qualify for NHS treatment from as little as £30 per month. Details are available from reception.

Orthodontic treatment under the NHS is designed to provide dental health and alignment of the teeth. The following photographs indicate what is available under the NHS:
