Children’s orthodontics

You can choose to have your child’s teeth straightened with a private dentist such as J&R Dental in Ruislip who have been treating children with orthodontic needs from Ruislip, Ickenham, Northwood, Uxbridge, Harrow, Pinner and throughout London for many years.

Treating mild through to severe orthodontic cases

If your child does not qualify for NHS treatment because they have minor orthodontic flaws, then you can still choose to have their teeth straightened privately.

At J&R Dental in Ruislip, we treat children no matter whether their orthodontic need is mild or complex. We can straighten crooked teeth, correct protruding teeth, close unwanted gaps in teeth and help correct bite problems.

Straighten children’s teeth with different dental braces

If your child has their teeth straightened on the NHS, you will have no choice in the type of dental braces; the treatment will consist of wearing fixed metal braces.

If you opt to have your child’s teeth straightened privately however, there is a wide choice of dental braces available. At J&R Dental in Ruislip, we offer clear fixed braces, Invisalign, Damon braces, Lingual or hidden braces and Inman Aligner. These braces are all far more discreet than traditional metal braces and often have the benefit of being comfortable, removable and straighten teeth quickly.

No waiting lists

If you choose to get your child’s teeth straightened privately, there will be no lengthy wait to begin your child’s treatment. With the NHS, your child will often have to wait 18 months or more before they can start treatment.

Teeth straightening for children on the NHS mostly does not start until all of your child’s adult teeth have grown through which including the waiting list time, means your child may not begin treatment until they are 14 or 15.

If you choose to get your child’s teeth straightened privately then treatment can begin as soon as you like.
