Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet orthodontic solution using custom-made clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking aesthetic alternatives that allow normal daily activities without visibility concerns. Our specialists create precise treatment plans with predictable outcomes through advanced digital technology.
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces provide effective teeth straightening through durable metal brackets and wires that apply continuous pressure to move teeth into optimal positions. We offer various modern bracket systems that balance efficiency with patient comfort. This traditional method remains highly effective for complex orthodontic cases requiring significant tooth movement.
Functional Appliances
Functional appliances address bite issues by guiding jaw growth and improving teeth alignment through removable devices that utilise natural muscle movements. These appliances work best during growth phases and are particularly effective for children and teenagers. Our team customises these appliances to correct specific bite problems efficiently.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth positions after orthodontic treatment using custom-fitted removable appliances that prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. We provide both removable and fixed retainer options with detailed care instructions. Proper retention ensures long-lasting results from initial orthodontic treatment.
NHS Orthodontics
NHS orthodontic services provide assessment and treatment for eligible patients under 18 through a structured referral process with family dentists. Treatment prioritises cases where orthodontic issues affect oral health rather than purely cosmetic concerns. We maintain waiting lists for NHS patients while offering immediate private treatment alternatives.
