Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that gradually straighten teeth through customised treatment plans. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, changing them as teeth shift into position. This discreet option suits adults and older teenagers seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces.
Ceramic Brackets
Ceramic fixed appliances use tooth-coloured or clear brackets for a less noticeable appearance while correcting misalignment. Periodic adjustments by orthodontic therapists ensure effective treatment for overcrowding, spacing, and bite issues, combining aesthetics with proven orthodontic results.
Metal Brackets
Metal fixed appliances employ stainless steel brackets and wires for reliable teeth straightening. Regular adjustments guide teeth into proper alignment, addressing complex cases of overcrowding, spacing, and bite problems. Durable and cost-effective, they remain a trusted choice for all age groups.
Teeth Whitening
Our teeth whitening service delivers safe, effective results using advanced products to enhance smiles. Available as part of private treatment plans or as a standalone service for NHS patients over 18, it ensures a brighter, more confident appearance following orthodontic care.
Twin Block Appliance
This innovative appliance corrects jaw alignment and bite issues, particularly effective for growing patients. Custom-designed to promote proper dental development, it addresses functional concerns while improving facial aesthetics through coordinated jaw positioning.
