Are you waiting to hear back about your child’s NHS orthodontic referral? If so, you’re not alone. With local NHS orthodontic waiting times in Stanmore and surrounding areas now reaching up to 4 years, many parents are turning to private children’s orthodontists for faster, more comprehensive care. At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore, we’re proud to provide early orthodontic assessments and private braces for children, so your child doesn’t have to wait and risk their dental health.
Why Doesn’t the NHS Provide Braces for All Children?
The NHS provides orthodontic treatment for children only if their dental issues are classified as “severe enough” under the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Unfortunately, this excludes many cases that could still benefit from early correction.
- Your child might be denied NHS treatment even if they have:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Small gaps between teeth
- Aesthetically noticeable misalignment
- Crossbites or minor overbites that can worsen over time
Even if your child does qualify, the average wait time for an NHS orthodontist in North London is now between 2 to 4 years a critical period for developing jaws and teeth.

Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Starting treatment earlier (typically between ages 8–12) can:
✅ Prevent more serious dental issues from developing
✅ Guide jaw growth and create space for adult teeth
✅ Improve facial symmetry and confidence
✅ Eliminate the need for tooth extraction later
✅ Shorten future treatment time
