Info Panel

The Orthodontic Department is located on the second floor of Liverpool University Dental Hospital.

The Department provides a Consultant led service delivering secondary and tertiary care for patients with severe malocclusions.

Orthodontics

We provide specialist orthodontic advise for children and adults on the diagnosis and management of patients with a malocclusion.

We provide specialist, often multidisciplinary, treatment for patients who have a significant malocclusion and those severe dento-facial anomalies and/or severe hypodontia.

We undertake complex orthodontic treatment that may need to be combined with either restorative dental treatment and/or orthognathic surgery to replace missing teeth and/or correct their skeletal discrepancy.

Referrals

Patients are referred from primary and secondary care for orthodontic assessment and would be expected to have a well maintained dentition with no active or untreated decay and with a high standard of oral hygiene
