Specialist Orthodontics for Children & Teens
“Not every child needs braces at 8. But every parent can benefit from knowing whether their child’s smile is developing as expected.”

Protecting Jaw Growth Before Problems Become Complex
Evaluating jaw development and tooth eruption early allows Dr Emmett Hegarty to identify potential issues—such as crossbites, severe crowding, or skeletal discrepancies—while your child’s bone structure is still malleable and naturally adapting.
Often no immediate treatment is needed—simply expert periodic checks to ensure eruption stays on track.
Interceptive arch expansion can make space for erupting teeth, potentially reducing complex invasive treatments later.
Early Interceptive Ortho (Age 7+)
The British Orthodontic Society recommends early evaluation around age 7–8. Dr Hegarty monitors erupting teeth, guides jaw growth, and prevents minor spacing issues from turning into complex adult malocclusions.
- Guides jaw development gently
- Can prevent future extractions
Teen Braces & Discreet Aligners
We offer low-profile ceramic brackets, aesthetic fixed braces, and teen clear aligner systems. Your child can straighten their teeth comfortably without embarrassment or dietary disruptions during school and sports.
- Discreet aesthetic brace options
- No lengthy NHS waiting lists
Calm, Welcoming Experience
We understand younger patients may feel nervous. Our village practice provides an unhurried, reassuring environment with digital 3D scans instead of messy, uncomfortable putty impressions.
- Gentle 3D digital impressions
- Retainers & post-care included
NHS vs Private Early Assessment
Understanding the difference in eligibility, timing, and preventative possibilities for your child.
NHS Orthodontics
Treatment is based on clinical eligibility using the IOTN system (Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need), with NHS treatment generally reserved for children with a clear health need. High demand can also mean long waiting lists.
Beech House Orthodontics
Your child can be assessed earlier, even if they would not currently qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment. This allows you to understand their development, identify potential concerns and plan ahead.
Why Wait to Understand Your Child’s Smile?
NHS orthodontic treatment is an important service, but access is based on strict clinical eligibility criteria and treatment will usually begin once most of a child’s adult teeth have come through — often around age 12.
At Beech House, your child can have a private specialist orthodontic assessment from around age 8, giving you an earlier understanding of how their teeth, bite and jaws are developing.
Early assessment doesn’t always mean early treatment.
Often, the right approach is simply to monitor your child’s development. But where early intervention could be beneficial, our Specialist Orthodontist can identify this at the appropriate stage rather than waiting until the teenage years.
Transparent Pricing & Complete Care Packages
Every orthodontic journey at Beech House Dental Practice is directed by Specialist Orthodontist Dr Emmett Hegarty. Rather than hidden add-on costs, we provide an all-inclusive package with everything required for a stable, radiant result.
Straightforward Fees for Both Adults & Children
Specialist orthodontic treatments start from £3,900 (with mild alignment from £3,200). For kids and teenagers, interceptive and fixed brace plans are individually quoted depending on dental growth and case complexity.
*Please note: By UK dental regulations, professional whitening cannot be administered to patients under 18 years of age. All other benefits (consultation, 3D simulation, custom retainers, and 0% finance) apply equally to children and teenagers.
Advanced orthodontic solutions customized for every age and lifestyle

Whether treating a teenager’s developing bite or an adult’s complex relapse, Dr Hegarty ensures teeth are moved safely within the jawbone, protecting root health, gum support, and facial balance for the long term.
