Services
Metal braces
These fixed orthodontic appliances use metal brackets and wires to gradually align teeth through controlled pressure. Ideal for correcting complex misalignments and bite issues, they offer reliable results for patients of all ages. Our specialists ensure comfortable fitting and regular adjustments for optimal dental positioning.
Ceramic braces
Aesthetic fixed appliances with tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with teeth. Functionally identical to metal braces but visually discreet, they suit teenagers and adults seeking subtle orthodontic treatment without compromising effectiveness or treatment duration.
Clear aligners
Custom-made removable trays that gradually shift teeth into position. These BPA-free plastic aligners offer a nearly invisible solution for mild to moderate alignment issues. Patients appreciate their removability for meals and cleaning, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months.
Retainers
Custom-fitted appliances worn after active treatment to maintain teeth alignment. Available as removable plastic or fixed wire options, they play crucial role in stabilising new tooth positions during the retention phase, typically worn for 1-2 years post-braces.
Mouthguards
Custom-crafted protective devices for sports or teeth grinding. Made from durable thermoplastic materials, these tailored mouthguards provide superior fit and protection compared to over-the-counter options, safeguarding dental work and preventing trauma.

Questions
What orthodontic options are available for adults?
We offer discreet ceramic braces, removable aligners, and traditional metal braces for adult patients, with treatment plans tailored to individual dental needs and aesthetic preferences.
How does NHS orthodontic treatment work?
NHS treatment requires dentist referral for children and offers free braces for eligible cases assessed through our triage system, with priority given to clinical need over cosmetic concerns.
What should I do for orthodontic emergencies?
We provide telephone advice for urgent issues like broken wires or severe discomfort, with emergency adjustments available during practice hours for patients under our care.
How long do orthodontic treatments typically take?
Treatment duration varies by complexity but typical braces treatment lasts 18-24 months, with regular 6-8 week adjustment appointments to monitor progress.
Are there payment plans for private treatments?
We offer flexible payment options for private patients, with detailed cost discussions during initial consultations and support through our practice finance team.
How do I maintain appliance hygiene?
We provide specific cleaning instructions through educational videos and clinical guidance, including proper brushing techniques and use of orthodontic cleaning tools.

Just over a year of treatment and my daughter’s teeth are looking brilliant. Thank you for looking after her when we weren’t allowed in due to coronavirus.
