Our Multidisciplinary Teams and Joint Clinics

Our orthodontists often work with other specialist dentists to plan and deliver the care needed for more complicated problems.

These are called multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) or joint clinics. You or your child may be sent to one of these teams to discuss the overall plan. It is normal to see several dentists at these appointments.

Our MDTs include:

The Leeds service is part of the larger Northern and Yorkshire Regional Cleft Lip and Palate Service. We look after children and adults with a cleft of the lip and/or palate in North, East and West Yorkshire. Treatment with braces is often an essential part of the care for these patients and we work closely with a number of other professionals in their overall treatment.

For patients with complicated problems related to the growth and development of the face and jaws.

For patients needing surgery to uncover or remove teeth.

For patients needing care from children’s dentists and orthodontists.

For patients with multiple missing teeth or problems with the position and appearance of their teeth.

For patients needing jaw surgery as well as brace treatment.

This clinic sees patients who could have a tooth taken from one part of their mouth and put into another. This is usually done to replace a front tooth that has been injured or damaged.
