Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using digitally manufactured, smooth plastic trays, this treatment gently repositions teeth while maintaining aesthetics and comfort. Ideal for adults and teens seeking subtle correction of spacing, crowding, or bite issues, aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Colchester Orthodontic Centre provides customised treatment plans with regular progress monitoring via Dental Monitoring technology.
Metal Fixed Braces
Metal fixed braces use durable brackets and wires to correct complex orthodontic issues with precision. This proven method effectively addresses severe crowding, spacing, and bite misalignments through continuous adjustment. Suitable for patients of all ages, particularly children and teens requiring robust treatment solutions. The practice offers modern, smaller brackets for enhanced comfort while maintaining the reliability of conventional metal braces for comprehensive dental realignment.
Ceramic Fixed Braces
Ceramic fixed braces provide a discreet alternative to metal braces, using tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with enamel. This aesthetic option maintains the effectiveness of traditional braces for correcting moderate to complex alignment issues. Particularly popular with adult patients seeking less visible treatment while achieving precise dental positioning. The practice combines ceramic aesthetics with advanced wire technology to optimise both appearance and treatment outcomes.
NHS Braces
NHS braces offer subsidised orthodontic care for eligible children meeting specific clinical criteria. Treatment focuses on functional improvements and health needs rather than purely cosmetic concerns. The practice conducts eligibility assessments with dentist referrals, providing access to essential braces treatment for qualifying patients. This service prioritises children's dental development while maintaining high standards of care within NHS guidelines.
Dental Monitoring
Dental Monitoring uses smartphone technology to track treatment progress remotely, reducing in-clinic visits. Patients perform regular scans at home using the app, enabling clinicians to monitor alignment changes and adjust treatment plans accordingly. This innovation enhances convenience while maintaining treatment accuracy, particularly beneficial for busy patients requiring flexible orthodontic management. The system integrates with all brace types to ensure consistent care quality.

I received brilliant care from the team - they are such perfectionists and my teeth have been transformed thanks to their attention to detail. Everyone was very friendly and explained everything to me really clearly. Would highly recommend!

I was a patient at Colchester Orthodontic Centre from 2020 to 2021 and was looked after exceptionally well by Mr Davies and his team. From the very first consultation to the final appointment the team were super professional, efficient and always great fun to deal with. I'm over the moon with the final result and would 100% recommend them. They're such a lovely bunch of people and I'll miss visiting them now that I've got my new shiny fantastic straight teeth.

I was a patient at Colchester Orthodontic Centre from 2007- 2011 and in that time I was treated by Mr Davies, who was brilliant at explaining every step of treatment to me, and him and his team were always so kind and understanding. He referred me onto a maxillofacial department because I needed to have Jaw surgery. I am so glad Mr Davies made the referral as I've just had my braces removed and I am so pleased with my new smile! It is all down to Mr Davies and his team for making it happen, I will be forever grateful - Emily Ratcliffe

We were referred here for further treatment after our Orthodontist closed. I have found this practice very efficient, friendly and helpful. The practice is modern, clean and on the ball with COVID restrictions. All the Staff have treated my son who has additional needs, with kindness, care and understanding. This understanding made our visits calm and easy for my son and in turn me. Thank you to all the Staff for being kind, you probably don't even realise how you helped us both.
