Private Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Private Orthodontic Treatment for Children

We treat many children privately, those who may not be eligible under NHS or who prefer to receive treatment quicker than current NHS waiting times may allow. On many occasions children miss out on great opportunities during the peak of their growth, while waiting to be seen under NHS. Children who wish to have private treatment benefit from premium appointment times after school, avoiding interrupting their schooling.

The cost of private orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity and length of the treatment. You will always know what treatment will cost in total before you start. Financial considerations should not hinder your child a beautiful smile for the rest of his/her life. Therefore, we offer flexible payment options to suit your needs.

At the first visit, you must come in for an initial personal consultation with the orthodontist, including taking radiographs, scan and records. The orthodontist will listen to your wishes, examine your teeth and explain what can be achieved, the type of private braces available, their limitations, the time frames, likely discomfort, the need for extractions if indicated and retention. A detailed report will be produced when you start the treatment. This will clarify our findings and the options for your treatment, provide affordable payment options, and show precisely how much your braces will cost.
