NHS braces at Zen Orthodontics in Newry
We’re proud to offer NHS braces in Newry at Zen Orthodontics. NHS-funded orthodontic treatment is free for children under 18 who meet the eligibility criteria. If you’re unsure whether your child qualifies for teeth braces on the NHS, our expert team can guide you through the process and help you explore your options.

Is my child eligible for NHS braces?
We follow NHS orthodontic guidelines, covering most standard treatments, including traditional fixed metal braces and retainers after treatment. Our team can guide you through the process, assist with paperwork, and ensure you understand the next steps for your child’s orthodontic care.
Can I skip the NHS waiting list?
The waiting list for NHS orthodontic treatment can sometimes take years because of high demand. If you would like to expedite your child receiving treatment or would prefer a more discreet treatment, such as ceramic braces or clear aligners, we can help make it affordable.
Zen offers a range of interest-free payment plans which we can chat further about during your consultation.
