Q.
Hi there, I have been to the ortodontist today with my 8 year old daughter. She has a class 3 crossbite. She will need treatment and were given the choice of payying privately now for damon braces or waiting until she is older and having NHS treatment with traditional braces. I don’t know which is going to give her the best result and the orthodontist can’t advise me. If damon braces are generally a shorter treatment time therefore less costs labour wise, less painful and with fewer extractions how come they aren’t available on the NHS? Which treatment path would you recommend? Thanks
