Petition More funding for NHS children's orthodontics services to reduce waiting times

I want the process of getting orthodontic treatment for children to be quicker. More needs to be done to reduce waiting times. Waiting lists can be two years or more, and young people can be very conscious of their appearance and suffer from anxiety as a result.

More details

I feel that children's health and wellbeing is being overlooked. An orthodontist procedure can help prevent anxiety and protect mental health in our children.
