For Parents Β· Private Orthodontics Β· Bolton
Over 350,000 children are currently waiting for NHS orthodontic treatment — many for 2–3 years. While they wait, they miss the critical growth window. Private orthodontics at Dream Smiles Dental means your child can start in weeks, not years.




Recognised nationally for clinical excellence, patient experience and outstanding results.
The NHS orthodontics crisis
351,208 children in England are on NHS orthodontic waiting lists right now. Only 1 NHS area in the country met the 18-week standard — and the longest documented wait is 6.6 years. Meanwhile, the critical window for jaw development is closing.
The honest comparison
What parents don’t tell you until it’s too late.
Simple & stress-free
From first call to fitting day: here is exactly what happens when you choose private — and why it’s so different from the NHS experience.
Normally Β£75, half price through this page. Full clinical assessment with X-rays, 3D scans and a clear treatment plan — typically within days, not years.
Your custom brackets are fitted quickly and comfortably β most patients are in and out within the hour. Regular check-ups keep your treatment on track.
Once your teeth reach their ideal position, your braces come off. A retainer keeps your new smile perfectly in place long-term.
