This may mean those with minor irregularities may not be offered NHS treatment but are still able to opt for private orthodontics. The NHS contract for orthodontics funds all appliances and adjustments required during the entire treatment for patients which meet the criteria. The usual treatment may involve a fixed metal brace for roughly 18 months to 2 years, with regular visits every weeks to see the orthodontist. Off course you will also notice the smile appearance will improve.
Treatment almost always involves using braces to straighten crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps between teeth, and correct the bite so the top and bottom teeth meet when the mouth is closed.
The ideal age to have braces is usually around 12 or 13, while a child is still growing but all the adult teeth are out. Regular dental check-ups will help them to keep a close eye on your teeth and refer you at the right time.
Some problems benefit from early intervention and we see children as young as seven. Your treatment will be provided by our specialist team of orthodontists and therapists and NHS funded braces are metal, fixed braces. Fixed braces are excellent at straightening teeth and have been trusted for decades. Your treatment will include X-rays and impressions or scans, the fitting of your braces, all your appointments and your aftercare.
These need to be worn indefinitely to stop your teeth from moving. These are attached behind your front teeth to give you extra protection against orthodontic relapse. Our prices for private treatment are fully inclusive, from your invisible braces to your aftercare. You can also split the cost of your braces into monthly repayments. To find out more about private orthodontic care, you can contact us directly to arrange a free consultation.
