HSE Braces
Your child can get braces at Zen with no wait and claim back the cost
All children on a HSE waiting list for braces are entitled to have orthodontic treatment in Northern Ireland. The HSE will then reimburse up to €2100 of the cost. This is because of a cross-border scheme that allows patients on waiting lists to travel North for treatment. The process to claim back the cost is straightforward and 100% of our patients have received their refund as expected.
If you have a letter from the HSE confirming your child is on the waiting list for braces, all you have to do is book an appointment at Zen to start the cross-border process. We are located just across the border in Newry and we will provide you with a copy of the forms you need to complete to claim back the cost. It really is that easy.
Your child will receive a warm welcome from our friendly staff and as we are an award winning Specialist Orthodontic practice, your child will receive the highest standard of treatment.
We have been treating children on the HSE waiting list for over a year now and it is wonderful to see the difference skipping the waiting list makes to families.
Children’s braces have stainless steel brackets with a wide choice of coloured bands that your child can change at each appointment. Once the brace has been fitted, your child will visit Zen every 6 – 8 weeks for adjustment appointments. Included in treatment are retainers and any review appointments up to 1 year after the brace has been removed.
Cost of treatment £2500
