This RFI exercise is being undertaken to engage with the market to inform the further development of draft proposals for the service delivery for Orthodontic Services across Greater Manchester. Orthodontics is the dental specialty concerned with facial growth, development of the dentition and occlusion, and the assessment, diagnosis, interception and treatment of malocclusions and facial irregularities. Orthodontic treatment should only be undertaken in situations where it is believed to be in the patient's best interests in terms of their oral health and/ or psychosocial wellbeing. In all situations, the clinical advantages and long-term benefits of Orthodontic treatment should justify such treatment and outweigh any detrimental effects.
