Services
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment uses removable, transparent aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. These custom-made appliances offer discreet orthodontic correction suitable for active lifestyles. Patients appreciate the comfort and aesthetic benefits while achieving precise tooth movement through advanced 3D imaging technology.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide a discreet alternative to metal braces with tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with enamel. This treatment combines aesthetic appeal with effective orthodontic correction for patients seeking less visible tooth-straightening solutions while maintaining treatment efficiency.
Metal Braces
Our metal braces offer reliable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment with modern, streamlined designs for improved comfort. This proven solution effectively addresses complex alignment issues through precise bracket and wire adjustments, delivering consistent results across all age groups.
Damon Braces
Damon self-ligating braces use advanced slide mechanism technology to straighten teeth with reduced friction and fewer adjustments. This system often shortens treatment duration while maintaining exceptional control over tooth positioning for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
NHS Orthodontics
We provide NHS-funded orthodontic treatment for eligible children through dentist referrals. Our service meets strict clinical criteria while maintaining patient comfort, offering comprehensive assessment and treatment plans that address developmental dental issues within public healthcare guidelines.
