Children’s Orthodontic Treatments

Getting access to orthodontics can be a lot simpler than you might think — one phone call or email to us can fasttrack younger patients or teenagers to orthodontic care with a properly qualified specialist. Not only this, but appointments can be scheduled flexibly, which really helps during those tough GCSE and A Level years. Plus, there are many more types of treatment to choose from.

But the main piece of good news is that going to see your specialist orthodontist can actually be fun! Seriously — just take a look at what some of our young patients are saying about us in our patient testimonial videos.

Orthodontic treatment usually takes a lot longer than other dental work — often between 12 and 24 months — but it is tremendously rewarding, and that’s a major reason why our team chose this field of dentistry to work in. They love getting to know their patients properly, supporting them and sharing their joy as the life changing results of beautiful straight teeth begin to take effect.

So remember, coming to Crocodile, from day one, can be fun. We can’t wait to meet you!

There’s been a big rise in the number of children and young people getting orthodontic treatment and so braces have become a normal part of life; in fact, they are almost a rite of passage at secondary school now — so it’s likely your child will be more than happy to get theirs if they need them.

They can have fun swapping the colours on their brace(s) every time it’s adjusted or, if they want something a bit more discreet, we offer a range of invisible systems.

If you’d like to bring your child in to see whether braces could help them, or if you think they need treatment and want to know when to get it, book online or give us a ring. No referral by your general dentist is necessary to access specialist orthodontic care. Our specialist orthodontists will have the time to answer all your questions.
