I’m using Wearside orthodontist for My Clear correctors Journey and I couldn’t be more happy about my decision. As soon as I walked into the Practice the staff and Dentists were so Helpful and Approachable. Very welcoming and made me so at ease during the whole time I’ve visited the practice. I can tell after my journey I’m going to not stop smiling. If I could recommend anyone trying to choose a orthodontist to go with it would be Wearside.

My son has just had his braces removed today after two years. Every time we have visited the staff couldn’t of been any more helpful. If my son had any questions Katherine (I think, sorry if not) was lovely , answered his questions and put him at ease.

Just had my daughter's initial appt this afternoon & we saw Simon. He was spot on with my daughter, who has ASD & was very scared about her appt. He was very patient with her & explained everything that she needs doing to me & my daughter & fully reassured my daughter all the time.

I've had braces on for the last two and a half years. It has been a bit of a marathon but from the start I was aware of the plan and convinced it was well thought out. Simon Lovell has been excellent throughout and I can't recommend him enough. He is very patient and took the time to explain everything and answer every one of my million questions. Appointments were always on time and all other staff were always friendly and helpful. Once my treatment was complete Debs the Hygienist made sure my teeth were lovely and clean, advised me well on ensuring I kept my teeth clean and healthy, and she did
