Private & NHS
For children, 17 years and under; From 1st April 2006 the governments new arrangements for provision of NHS orthodontics came into force. The new arrangements are designed to target treatment to those with the greatest health need. As a result, a new scale of severity of orthodontic problems has been introduced. Only those with the severest problems can now be offered NHS treatment. All other patients will have to be privately funded.
Adults, 18 years and over, are offered treatment on a private basis. Orthodontic treatment for adults is becoming increasingly popular and we can offer flexible appointment times if required.
