DS (13) has wonky teeth. He's also overcrowded and has had 4 teeth removed already.
It's given that he'll need braces and the dentist has said he'll start the referral to an orthodontist. However, he also said that the waiting list is currently 4 YEARS!!! Due to Covid, could be even longer. He's not even guaranteed to get treatment on NHS either.
So we could look at private but I suspect it's going to be £££££££s.
Any advice or experience out there? Should we just go down the private route? How much (gulp) is this going to cost us?? not even going to think about whether DS2 needs braces as well....
