Services
Private Lingual Braces
Lingual braces offer discreet orthodontic treatment with brackets fitted behind teeth. This solution suits patients seeking effective straightening without visible appliances. Our specialists use advanced techniques to ensure comfort and optimal alignment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign provides removable, nearly invisible aligners for gradual teeth straightening. Ideal for adults and teens wanting subtle treatment, this system uses custom 3D imaging to plan precise tooth movements throughout the correction process.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces combine traditional bracket technology with tooth-coloured materials for reduced visibility. These fixed appliances offer efficient alignment correction while maintaining aesthetic appeal during treatment.
Children's Orthodontics
Specialist treatment for developing smiles focuses on guiding jaw growth and correcting bite issues. Early intervention addresses alignment problems using age-appropriate appliances and child-friendly techniques to ensure positive long-term outcomes.
NHS Functional Braces
NHS-approved removable braces correct functional bite problems for eligible patients. These appliances address alignment issues affecting speech, eating, and oral health under specialist supervision for patients meeting NHS criteria.
