Orthodontic Care

Children will be assessed at the 6th class/1st year exam to determine if they qualify for HSE orthodontic treatment. Your treating Dental Surgeon will advise you if your child is within the guidelines. Children who are deemed to qualify will be referred to the orthodontic department for assessment. The orthodontic department will then decide if your child is to be placed on the treatment waiting list. Children with delayed dental development may be recalled to reassess their eligibility.
