What We Offer Welcome to St James Dental Practice. We are proud to be a specialist provider of orthodontic treatment to the NHS, and endeavour to offer an outstanding level of care to patients. Treatment NHS orthodontic treatment usually involves the wearing of fixed metal braces on the outside surfaces of the teeth. Other types of braces used include removable plastic braces fixed to the teeth with metal clips. Traditional Braces Traditional braces deliver high quality and reliable results. Functional Braces Also know as twin blocks, these are used to improve the profile of the face and correct the bite. Prior to your treatment, if you have very crowded teeth, we may refer you back to your dentist to remove teeth to make space for us to straighten your smile. However, this is always avoided whenever possible. Treatment times are typically 12-24 months. Following treatment, retainers are worn to hold the teeth in their new position. NHS patients are only seen on referral. Dentists refer patients to the Central Referral Centre who then send referrals to us. All patients under the age of 18 are offered an initial examination under the NHS. We will contact you to arrange an appointment after we have received a referral from your dentist.

The level of severity is judged by an “Index of Treatment Need” (IOTN), with a score of 3.6 or higher necessary to be eligible for free NHS treat- ment. Some children will not qualify for NHS treatment. If this is the case, we will explain the options for private treat- ment.

What We OfferWelcome to St James Dental Practice. We are proud to be a specialist provider of orthodontic treatment to the NHS, and endeavour to offer an outstanding level of care to patients.
TreatmentNHS orthodontic treatment usually involves the wearing of fixed metal braces on the outside surfaces of the teeth. Other types of braces used include removable plastic braces fixed to the teeth with metal clips.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces deliver high quality and reliable results.
Functional Braces
Also know as twin blocks, these are used to improve the profile of the face and correct the bite.
Prior to your treatment, if you have very crowded teeth, we may refer you back to your dentist to remove teeth to make space for us to straighten your smile. However, this is always avoided whenever possible.
Treatment times are typically 12-24 months. Following treatment, retainers are worn to hold the teeth in their new position.
NHS patients are only seen on referral. Dentists refer patients to the Central Referral Centre who then send referrals to us.
All patients under the age of 18 are offered an initial examination under the NHS. We will contact you to arrange an appointment after we have received a referral from your dentist.
The NHS has strict guidelines on the availability of ortho-dontic treatment. We are commissioned by the NHS to treat patients under the age of 18 with a certain severi-ty of orthodontic need. The level of severity is judged by an “Index of Treatment Need” (IOTN), with a score of 3.6 or higher necessary to be eligible for free NHS treat-ment.
