Your questions answered

Can adults achieve results like teenagers?

Adults can have excellent results. Teeth sometimes move a little more slowly, and healthy gums are essential.

What counts as a bite problem?

Any situation where the upper and lower teeth do not meet as they should, such as an overbite, underbite or crossbite.

Can adults have orthodontic treatment on the NHS?

NHS orthodontics is generally for under-18s who meet the criteria, so adults usually have private treatment. SW3 Dental is a private practice; eligible under-18s may be able to have NHS orthodontics at our Croydon practice.
