My daughter needs treatment for under bite. How much would it cost?

Q.
My daughter has her lower jaw larger than her upper as a result, her teeth are not align. She has seen a consultant orthodontist and waiting to have braces fitted on the NHS. The consultant told me that she will need to wear braces with a facial harness attached to it and my daughter needs to pull the harness in order to grow her upper jaw. However, the waiting list seems to be long, therefore if I have it done at your clinic how much does it cost? Your early response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, It sounds like he has suggested a Headgear appliance. This was an appliance used utilising traditional fixed apliances.
It may be now possible to use more latest technology appliances and maybe to avoid using this type of brace and correcting with remoavble rubber bands instead. Until she has been assesssed it would be difficult to say. I therefore suggest if you wish to have a consultation to se if it would be possible to have this done with the use of the headgear appliance!
