Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal braces. This discreet option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, offering convenience alongside effective results.
Fixed Braces
Traditional fixed braces employ stainless steel brackets and wires to correct severe misalignments. NHS-funded and private options available, providing reliable results for patients of all ages through progressive tooth movement.
Aesthetic Braces
Ceramic braces blend with natural teeth using tooth-coloured brackets. Ideal for patients wanting less visible treatment, these braces combine aesthetic appeal with effective orthodontic correction for improved confidence during treatment.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. Worn nightly, these appliances ensure long-term stability by preventing relapse, preserving your investment in orthodontic care and maintaining optimal bite relationships.
Sports Mouthguards
Specially designed mouthguards protect teeth during sports. Custom-fitted options accommodate braces, reducing injury risk while ensuring comfort and protection for active patients during treatment and beyond.
