The original concept for OMÜ came from a very simple yet fundamental observation – for a 5/10 min orthodontic appointment every month some parents are driving over an hour to pick their child up only to return them to school directly afterwards. Pressure on the pupil to make up any missed work, pressure on the parent to find time in their busy routine.
As parents of three children, at three different schools, in three different counties, this was the lightbulb moment to take our established Orthodontic service to schools.
