Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable, comfortable appliances are ideal for adults and teens seeking subtle orthodontic correction. Our practice has helped over 10 million patients achieve improved smiles through this innovative technology, with treatment plans tailored to individual dental needs and lifestyle requirements.
Ceramic Fixed Braces
Ceramic fixed braces offer a discreet orthodontic solution with tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with teeth. This aesthetic alternative to metal braces provides effective tooth movement while maintaining a more subtle appearance, particularly popular with adult patients seeking less visible treatment options during their professional and social interactions.
NHS Treatment
NHS-funded orthodontic treatment is available for eligible children and teenagers under 18. We assess each patient's eligibility and provide specialist care according to NHS guidelines, ensuring quality treatment access for qualifying individuals while maintaining the same high standards of clinical expertise and patient care as our private services.
Digital Scanning
Our digital scanning technology creates precise 3D images of patients' teeth and jaws without traditional impressions. This advanced diagnostic tool enhances treatment planning accuracy, enables virtual smile simulations, and improves patient comfort during the initial assessment and ongoing treatment monitoring processes, contributing to more efficient and effective orthodontic outcomes.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers are provided following active orthodontic treatment to maintain teeth alignment. We offer both removable and fixed retainer options, with comprehensive guidance on proper care and usage to ensure long-term stability of treatment results, supported by follow-up appointments to monitor retention success.
