Private kids’ Orthodontist Glasgow

[RaggedSofa]

Any recommendations, please?

My sister’s DD is 12 and has very overcrowded and crooked teeth. They have been waiting for months and months for NHS dentistry to do something I would like to help.

Any orthodontist will treat as a private patient.

Friend was referred here for her kid and thinks they are great

Private costs a fortune, all four of mine have had NHS, they won’t start NHS until all baby teeth have fallen out.

We took DD1 to a place in Glasgow to have a bit of discolouration removed from her front tooth as the NHS wouldn’t do it as it was cosmetic and it was £300 I shudder to think what braces would cost.

Chase up the orthodontist referral it can take months but it’s more of a marathon not a sprint

Thanks all, appreciated

Most orthodontists will charge £150 ish for a consultation. Then depending on type of brace , complexity etc it will cost £2000 to £4000 ish .

Be aware you can't jump the waiting list by having a private consultation and if the child's needs are complex and it needs a joint surgical and brace approach this will be prohibitively expensive and it's better to wait on list.

In many areas the waiting list for braces is 2 or more years , in some 4 years. The child will also have had to have lost all their baby teeth and their adult teeth will all have to be through before treatment starts.
