We have introduced a NHS equivalent service for those patients that are ineligible for NHS treatment.
Initial assessment
An initial assessment is a 15 minute appointment during which records are taken to assess your orthodontic treatment needs. Once the records have been assessed, a treatment plan is compiled and the report sent to you along with treatment options and financial arrangements. The cost is £50 and is payable on the day of the assessment.
Treatment
The braces will then be designed and fitted. Over the treatment time the braces will be regularly adjusted to gradually move the teeth into the correct positions.
Retention
When your braces are removed you will need to wear retainers. Fixed retainers, consisting of a thin wire placed on the back of teeth, are advised. Retention is a vital part of treatment, as they keep the new positions of your teeth.
Emergencies
If you have any breakages or problems, please contact us for help or to arrange an emergency appointment.
When booking emergency appointments, we have to fit patients in where appointments are available.
Finances
Examination costs are payable at the assessment appointment. Payment can be made by cheque, cash or credit card. The cost of independent orthodontic treatment is £1800. We have various low cost finance arrangements. Please ask us for details.
Other charges
Patient charges will apply if appliances are lost or broken or poor compliance and/or multiple breakages cause prolonged treatment time. |
