An
orthodontic examination is available on the
NHS for child patients. This would include assessment
of the arrangement of the teeth and jaws. The
NHS are introducing a ranking system and if your
teeth are only mildly crooked you may not be
eligible for treatment under the NHS (see private
treatments).
All
NHS appointments are between the hours of
9.30am to 3.30pm.
There
is a waiting list (usually 6 months to 10 months)
for NHS consultations and treatment.
Orthodontic
treatment for patients over 17 years of age
is only provided under private contract.
