   Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth. You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers.

   These services are a 'referral only service' via a General Dental Practitioner.

   Eligible Patients must meet the Index of Orthodontic Needs to receive NHS Orthodontic Care.

   Orthodontic Contracts are commissioned via a Personal Dental Services (PDS) Agreement which is a national contractual framework.

   There is no material change to the new contract being offered and therefore a direct award process C has been completed under the PSR and a robust due diligence process has been completed to ensure providers meet all the basic and key criterion. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice.
