Services
Clear braces
Clear braces offer discreet orthodontic treatment using transparent acrylic aligners that fit precisely over teeth. This solution is particularly popular with adult patients seeking subtle correction. Our specialists ensure perfect fit and gradual tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic appeal throughout the treatment process.
Clear aligners
Clear aligners provide a removable, nearly invisible alternative for teeth straightening. Similar to clear braces but offering greater flexibility, these custom-made appliances allow patients to maintain normal oral hygiene routines. Our team creates precise treatment plans using advanced digital mapping technology for optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. Our certified specialists monitor progress through regular check-ups, ensuring each aligner stage achieves the planned tooth movement while maintaining patient comfort and aesthetics.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. Available as fixed or removable options, these custom-fitted appliances prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Our specialists provide detailed instructions for care and maintenance to ensure long-term treatment success.
Children's braces
Specialised orthodontic treatment for children under NHS provision. Our team addresses developmental dental issues through age-appropriate braces and monitoring. Early intervention helps correct bite problems and guides permanent teeth into optimal positions, reducing future treatment complexity.
