Who should I see for a second opinion on braces?

For the most clinically authoritative second opinion on orthodontic treatment, see a specialist orthodontist — a dentist on the GDC Specialist Register for Orthodontics who has completed an additional three-year postgraduate training programme in orthodontics. You can verify whether a practitioner is a specialist at gdc-uk.org. A second opinion from another general dentist, or from a practitioner associated with the same practice or organisation as your first consultation, carries less independent weight.
