Hi my daughter needs braces she is 15 she has needed them for a few years as her teeth are really bad to the point where they affect her talking she has speech problems, we went to private orthodontist last year in January they said she needs to have a few baby teeth taken out so in April she did then we went back to our local dentist they referred us to the orthodontist in town we went there they said we would have to wait 2 years the man was surprised at how she didn't get braces earlier and why they made her wait this long he said we would have to pay if we wanted treatment immediately so we are paying £2600 for her braces, but there is a teeth under her gum so that needs to be taken out for the treatment they took x rays and pictures of her teeth the day we went to the orthodontist after we said we will pay . Next appointment is in 3 weeks. Does anyone know how long we will have to wait for her braces to be put on as we chose to pay privately?
