Children’s Orthodontics
Get a Free Early-Years Assessment for Your Loved-One
Dental development during your child’s growing years can have lifelong oral health impacts.
Early interceptive care from SmileHQ allows our specialist-led team to plan treatments to support natural, healthy development alongside discreet orthodontic treatments for teens and young people.
And because we believe effective care starts early, we offer a free assessment with our orthodontic team for every SmileHQ patient under 16.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends the first visit by age seven. However, visiting at age 4-6 is common—especially if your child’s dentist has cause for concern.
BOOK CONSULTATIONEarly Interceptive Orthodontics
Around the ages of six to seven, when young people’s adult dentition begins to develop, are particularly crucial years.
Spotting developmental challenges could save your loved one from needing expensive orthodontic treatment later in life as simple problems turn into more severe issues like protruding teeth and malocclusion.
Early interceptive orthodontics ensures the healthy development of your child’s teeth and jaws so they can get on with growing up.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an assessment before age seven. However, it’s often possible to spot potential problems from as early as four years of age. Whatever your loved ones’ age, peace of mind with a free early assessment from SmileHQ won’t cost you a penny.
Teen & Young People’s Orthodontics
Each year in the UK, around 20,00 children and young people are told their orthodontic issues aren’t severe enough to qualify for NHS treatment.
Those who are lucky enough to meet the NHS’ strict criteria often face waits of up to two years or longer to receive vital basic care—usually with intrusive fixed braces.
If your child has been refused care or is currently on the waiting list, you’ll know how frustrating it is to leave your child’s wellbeing in NHS hands.
A free assessment at SmileHQ can put your child’s oral health back on track, ensuring healthy development, perfect aesthetics, and discreet treatment that won’t leave them feeling self-conscious in the classroom.

Rave Reviews
Absolutely fantastic treatment from start to finish. My daughter was extremely anxious about having root canal treatment, but says she could barely feel anything. Rose (Endodontist) has a very professional and calming manner. The whole experience was the best experience my daughter has had at a dental practice. Belle (Nurse) was also so kind and caring, helping to completely put my daughter at ease. I can’t recommend Smile HQ and its staff enough. Also ladies on reception go above and beyond to Welcome you and put you at ease. Special mention to Hannah, for helping us get the quickest correct type of appointment, thoroughly answering all our questions. Seamless experience 😊
Receptionist Kiera is an absolute delight to talk to. So refreshing from your ordinary rude front of house receptionists, lovely attitude and very helpful.
I am absolutely over the moon with my teeth transformation! I have always hated my smile and now I can’t stop smiling ! Dr Pola and the whole team at smile HQ were amazing from start to finish. The clinic is beautiful, clean & calming – would massively recommend!
This is a wonderful practice. I was seen at short notice because I was in pain and could not get an appointment with my regular dentist and it was well worth the one hour journey to get there. Dr Sasha, Nurse Stephie and Holly and Claire on reception could not have been more welcoming and kind. I had x Ray and antibiotics and everything was unhurried and explained in detail. Thank you all so much.
Both Hannah and Charlotte looked after me very well. The best hygienist appointment I’ve had with no discomfort at all. Anyone who’s scared of going to the dentist has nothing to worry about here. Great coffee too!!
The atmosphere was so peaceful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listened to my needs and considered my comfort every step of the way. I would definitely recommend. I felt so confident walking out after just one clean. Already have my next appointments booked in. Now going to the dentist isn’t so scary.
I saw Dr Bal and have been so pleased with my treatment. He really listens to what you want to achieve and speaks through your treatment plan in so much detail. Very natural results which is what I wanted :) Couldn’t recommend him enough!
I have visited SmileHQ for a consultation only, so cannot comment on actual treatment received at this point. However, from my initial enquiry through to my consultation, I have been extremely impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of all of the staff I have so far encountered. There has been no pressure to proceed with treatment and the refundable deposit for the consultation should you decide not to go ahead is commendable and shows an element of the ethos at this practice. I feel very confident in their ability and expertise in this field to eventually make me smile again and would highly recommend anyone taking the first steps on their own personal journey with SmileHQ.
