The medical files of over 7,500 children are being reviewed over allegations their teeth were "damaged" by orthodontic services in Dublin.
According to the Irish Times, it is alleged children had braces left on for longer than intended leading to damage.
Others had to get false teeth because the appliances were not removed when they should have been.
The HSE audit relates to some patients who received treatment between 1999 and 2002.
