Lincoln Orthodontics

Waiting for NHS Orthodontic Treatment?

NHS orthodontic treatment offers excellent care, but waiting lists can be long. If you'd rather not wait, explore your private orthodontic options at Lincoln Orthodontics - specialist-led care for your child, with treatment that can begin when the time is right.

We couldn't be happier with the treatment both of my girls received. They both had outstanding results, and I honestly cannot recommend this orthodontist highly enough.

One of my twins had a particularly severe overbite, which was going to be a huge challenge to correct. At the time, the NHS waiting list was around 4.5 years, and I didn't want my daughter to wait that long. Her overbite had really affected her confidence - she wouldn't smile, would talk with her hand over her mouth, and was very self-conscious and embarrassed about her teeth.

Although private orthodontic treatment is a significant financial commitment, I didn't hesitate to go ahead, and it was worth every penny. They offer interest-free payment options for 12 months, as well as other payment plans, which made the cost much more manageable.

Seeing the transformation in my daughter has been amazing. Not only are her teeth beautifully straight, but her confidence has improved dramatically. She now smiles freely and confidently, which is something I'm so happy to see.

Both girls received fantastic care throughout their treatment, and we are incredibly grateful for the results. Money very well spent - I would absolutely recommend them.

An alternative to waiting for NHS treatment

NHS orthodontic treatment provides excellent care for children who meet the eligibility criteria, but waiting times can be lengthy. For families who would prefer not to wait, private orthodontic treatment offers another option.

At Lincoln Orthodontics, your child can be seen and assessed without joining an NHS waiting list. From fixed braces and clear aligners to early treatment for younger children, we plan their care around their teeth, bite and individual needs. You'll find everything we offer for younger patients on our Lincoln Kids page.

TREATMENTS FOR CHILDREN

Specialist orthodontic care for your child

When you choose private treatment, your child is cared for by a team focused specifically on orthodontics. Our Specialist Orthodontists have years of additional training dedicated to moving teeth and correcting bites.

Treatment is planned around your child's teeth, bite, growth and individual needs - not a one-size-fits-all approach.

An assessment, not automatic treatment

Every child is different. Following their assessment, we'll explain what we've found, whether orthodontic treatment is recommended and, importantly, when we believe it should begin. We won't recommend treatment unless it's needed.

For some orthodontic problems, timing can be important, particularly while a child is still growing. If your child isn't ready for treatment yet, we'll explain why and advise you on the right next steps.
