If you’ve been told you’re not eligible for NHS braces – or you’re still stuck on a long waiting list – you’re not alone.
At Ewell Orthodontics, we understand how frustrating it can be to feel like your options are limited, especially when your teeth are affecting your confidence or comfort. Whether you’ve been turned down because you don’t meet the NHS criteria or you’re simply tired of waiting, we’re here to help with expert private care and a friendly, personal approach.
The NHS only funds orthodontic treatment for patients who need braces to improve their dental health, assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). If your case is considered cosmetic – even if it’s something that bothers you daily – you may not qualify.
With limited funding and long waiting lists, many people are left unsure of where to turn. But the good news is, private treatment offers more flexibility, more options – and no waiting lists.
At our specialist orthodontic practice in Ewell, Surrey, we welcome patients of all ages and treat a wide range of concerns – from mild crowding to more complex bite issues. You don’t need a referral to get started. Simply book a free consultation and we’ll take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions and recommend the right treatment for your smile.
