No Waiting Lists for Children’s Orthodontics

NHS orthodontic treatment is often limited and based on strict eligibility criteria, meaning many children face long waiting lists or may not qualify at all.

An early consultation allows us to assess your child’s teeth and plan the right treatment at the right time.

We can usually start to consider teeth straightening treatments for children from around 12 years old, but this does depend on the development of their adult teeth, face and jaw. Our friendly specialist orthodontist Rohini will take a gentle, relaxed approach to examining their teeth and mouth, and take the time answer any questions you or your child may have, as well as discussing ideas for the end result.

Is Your Child Self-Conscious About Their Smile?

Crooked or crowded teeth can affect a child’s confidence, especially in social situations or at school.

Early orthodontic treatment can help improve both their smile and self-esteem, giving them confidence that lasts into adulthood.

What Happens at Your Child’s First Orthodontic Consultation?

During your child’s first visit, we will:

✔ Assess teeth alignment, bite, and jaw development
✔ Discuss whether treatment is needed now or later
✔ Explain suitable brace options and expected results
✔ Provide a clear treatment plan with costs and timelines

This consultation is relaxed, informative, and designed to give you complete clarity before starting treatment.
