Waiting times for orthodontic treatment:

NHS Treatment

Presently patients wait 12 - 15 months for their initial consultation. At the consultation they will be advised of the treatment available to correct their problem and whether or not the NHS will fund this treatment (please see 'Will the treatment be NHS or private?').

There is then no further wait for patients who fulfill the NHS selection criteria and their treatment will commence within the next few weeks.

Private Treatment

The waiting time for a Private consultation is typically between 2 and 4 weeks (please see 'Will the treatment be NHS or private?').

Following the consultation a private patient report will be sent to you outlining all matters discussed at the consultation and a complete costing for private treatment. On returning a signed copy of this private patient report, treatment can then commence at your convenience.
