We offer a wide range of orthodontic appliances. During your first visit we will thoroughly examine your teeth and jaw and talk with you about your expectations. We will explain the options available to you and make recommendations so that you can make an informed decision about which appliance to choose.

Fixed braces with metal or tooth coloured brackets

The traditional braces often known as ‘train tracks’ because of the metal wires which go across the teeth. We can provide either standard metal brackets, or tooth coloured ones which are far less visible.

Ligature free metal fixed braces

These enable the teeth to move rapidly and so patients have a shorter course of treatment and longer intervals between visits.

Removable braces

These are a traditional type of brace, but can be designed so that very little is visible when viewed from the front.

Lingual braces

These are metal braces that are fitted to the back of the teeth rather than the front, so they are virtually invisible. They are not suitable for everyone. The advantage of these is that people usually can’t tell you are wearing a brace.

ClearstepTM Aligners / Invisalign®

These thin, clear aligners are popular with patients because they are removable for eating and brushing, and virtually invisible. They are usually only suitable for ages 14 and over.

Useful information

We are a private practice offering NHS treatment to eligible children under 18, and private treatment to children and adults.

Payment

Payment for private care can be spread over the duration of the treatment, interest-free if required. Please ask for details.

General dental care

Whilst completing your course of orthodontic treatment, it is important that you continue to visit your own dentist for regular examinations.
