Services
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces use metal brackets and wires to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Ideal for complex cases, they provide precise control over tooth movement. Patients benefit from durable, effective treatment with regular adjustments ensuring optimal results.
Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign aligners are removable, transparent trays that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. Suitable for mild to moderate alignment issues, they offer discreet treatment with minimal impact on daily life, requiring only periodic tray changes.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are fitted behind teeth for a virtually invisible solution. Customised to each patient, they correct alignment issues while maintaining aesthetics, making them ideal for professionals and image-conscious individuals seeking discreet treatment.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. Available as removable or fixed options, they prevent relapse by stabilising teeth in their new positions. Custom-fitted for comfort, they ensure long-term results of orthodontic care.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use specialised clips to hold wires without elastic ties, reducing friction and treatment time. They require fewer adjustments, offering greater comfort and efficiency while maintaining effectiveness for various orthodontic issues.

Report
With regard to the owners response to Lynda Everys review and complaint about the excessive charging, I would like to add my own comment regarding the 85 charge I received for the replacement Invisalign retainer. This was not under the NHS - this was a private procedure. I had the full Invisalign treatment as a private patient at an Orthodontist in Stevenage. Many years later when I needed a replacement, due to dental work making the existing retainer unsuitable, I visited, as a private patient, a similar surgery in Hitchin. I was charged the initial consultation fee plus the 85 cost

Report
My son needed a replacement Invisalign retainer. He was charged 40 consultation and 150 in total. He went to Herts orthodontics as he is an existing client, so there should be no requirement for the 40 consultation. My husband pays 85 in total for the same service at another orthodontist. Thats almost half the cost. I wish my son had told us before he paid. Their only response was that different practices charge different amounts. Disgusting overcharge.

Report
I've been treated by Shamique twice, once as a teen for metal braces and recently, 12 years later, for Invisalign (not due to any fault of the first procedure, but the unfortunate arrival of wisdom teeth). Both experiences were excellent, proving the high standards have been consistent for over at least over a decade. Fully recommend these services.

Report
This practice is extremely thoughtful, friendly and professional. The staff was always polite and helpful. Dr Ismail provided great explanations to the whole process and was very professional in his work. Thanks to him my smile is straight and perfect. I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment!
