Orthodontics is the care and treatment provided, usually to children, to straighten their teeth and/or correct how their upper and lower teeth meet and work together.
The survey, which is being carried out by Healthwatch Hertfordshire and Healthwatch Essex on behalf of the ICB will help us to understand where orthodontic services should be located, and how access to orthodontic care could be improved.
The survey runs until Friday 31 May 2024.
