Teeth Straightening
Children & Adult orthodontics
If you requires teeth straightening, they may be eligible for free orthodontic treatment through the NHS. To qualify, their orthodontic needs must be considered moderate to severe. However, please be aware that there may be a considerable wait before treatment can begin.
Private Teeth Straightening
If you requires teeth straightening, they may be eligible for free orthodontic treatment through the NHS. To qualify, their orthodontic needs must be deemed moderate to severe. However, this may come with a long waiting time before treatment begins.
An alternative option is to have your teeth straightened privately, which can offer faster treatment.
Why choose private treatment to straighten your child's teeth?
You can opt to have your child’s teeth straightened with a private dentist, such as L&Y Dental. They have been helping children with orthodontic needs.
Specializing in treating orthodontic cases from mild to severe.
If your child does not qualify for NHS treatment because they have minor orthodontic flaws, you can still choose to have their teeth straightened privately.
At L&Y Dental, we treat children regardless of whether their orthodontic need is mild or complex. We can straighten crooked teeth, correct protruding teeth, close unwanted gaps, and help resolve bite problems.
Straighten your child's teeth with a variety of dental braces options.
If your child has their teeth straightened through the NHS, the treatment will involve wearing fixed metal braces, and you won’t have a choice in the type of braces used.
However, if you choose to have your child’s teeth straightened privately, there are many options available. At L&Y Dental, we offer a range of discreet dental braces, including clear fixed braces, Invisalign, Damon braces, lingual (hidden) braces, and the Inman Aligner. These alternatives are often more comfortable, removable, and can straighten teeth more quickly than traditional metal braces.
No waiting lists
If you choose to have your child’s teeth straightened privately, there will be no long wait to begin treatment. With the NHS, your child may face a wait of 18 months or more before they can start.
NHS treatment for teeth straightening typically doesn’t begin until all of your child’s adult teeth have grown through, which, along with the waiting list, means treatment may not start until they are 14 or 15 years old.
However, with private treatment, you can start the process as soon as you’re ready.
