Private orthodontic treatments and braces for children

Children’s orthodontic treatments can detect potential future dental issues quickly, and safe procedures help to create a great smile and straight teeth to be proud of from an early age. Metal orthodontic braces are highly effective in straightening the teeth, whereas ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative as they match the colour of the teeth.

Lingual braces attach to the back of the tooth, hiding them from sight, and nearly invisible aligners, Invisalign braces, are now available for ultimate discretion. Most brace options will be replaced or tweaked every two weeks to progressively move teeth into the preferred position.

The benefits of private orthodontics

  • Avoid long NHS queues
  • Increases confidence
  • Early detection of dental issues

Free consultation for private orthodontics

Seek expert advice from our professional orthodontic consultants during a free consultation and understand more about the remedial solutions, including metal, ceramic, lingual and invisible braces.

Private dental care and children’s orthodontics are available from the age of ten with Bhandal Dental Practices. Procedures are swift and can start before all the adult teeth are in place. Some mild teeth issues may not be covered on the NHS, in which case private dental procedures are the only option to perform cosmetic solutions. Private orthodontics also offers a wider range of solutions, including Invisalign.

Frequently asked questions

How can we help?

The main difference between NHS and private orthodontics is the availability. NHS braces are only available for certain cases, and your child may not meet the requirements. There are also age restrictions to consider and long waiting lines, so your child might age out of the free treatment category before they have had a chance to start treatment. Private treatments also offer a wider range of solutions, including Invisalign.

No, you do not need a referral for private orthodontics. If your child does not meet the clinical requirements for braces on the NHS, or if you would like to start treatment sooner, private treatment could be the ideal option.

Most children will have all their adult teeth by the age of 12, which is when they can start to consider orthodontic treatment. However, some mild teeth issues may not be covered on the NHS, in which case private dental procedures are the only option to perform cosmetic solutions. With regular checkups, we can begin monitoring their teeth for signs that braces might be required in the future.

This will depend on the severity of the teeth issue. In general, treatment will last between 18 months to two years. However, every case is different, and we will be able to give you a more accurate estimate during your child’s consultation.

  • As I am a very nervous patient from bad experience at a different dental practice. Bhandals in Blackheath are by far the best dental. They are very understanding if you are nervous or have had previous bad experience here at Blackheath Bhandal they put you at ease and make you very comfortable and put the control in your hands and at your own pace and they have a very high duty of care to there patients. They helped and put me at ease and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. 10/10 best dental practice. Amazing staff I will happily return back to Bhandal Blackheath.

  • Dr Simran Bhandal and her dental nurse Demi have spent the last year or so transforming my smile using the Invisalign treatment plan. I have received the best care and treatment and now I have the most amazing smile. The detailed care and attention I have received has been professional and attentive, I have felt at ease and confident throughout knowing the results would be as desired. High standards deserve high praise. So a big thank you to Simran, Demi and the lovely reception staff at the Bhandal practice in Blackheath.

  • I am so pleased I came across this dentist on the nhs find a dentist app to be honest what drew me to this practice was the parking situation but that has become insignificant with the treatment I have received from this practice, from my initial consultation to the two treatments I needed I have experienced fabulous treatment. The staff are friendly, the 3 dentists I saw explained everything that was needed and didn’t make me feel pressured into making a decision. I am not sure how they do it they are so efficient that I haven’t had to wait more than a minute or so past my appointment time to be seen my tooth extraction was booked for 8am and I was walking out of the surgery with 1 less tooth at 8.10am but didn’t feel rushed at all. I will highly recommend this dentist surgery to people I know or who need an nhs one.
