FAQs
What is the best age to have braces?
The ideal age to have orthodontic treatment is around 12 or 13, while children are still growing. The opportunity for improvement in an adult is more limited, and surgery is more likely to be needed.
What braces options does the NHS offer?
Your braces will depend on your dental requirements. Some braces are removable, while fixed braces stay in all the time. All NHS braces are made of metal; clear or plastic systems are only available privately.
What if my child is refused NHS braces?
If you believe your child is being unfairly refused NHS braces, or the waiting list is unreasonably long, contact your local NHS England care team. Or we can also discuss private options.
How successful are fixed braces?
Fixed braces usually work well, but it’s important to look after your teeth while you’re wearing them. Braces can trap food and cause more plaque to build up than usual. You need to take extra care of your teeth and watch what you eat by avoiding sugary food and drink for example. You need to see your dentist regularly while have this treatment.
