Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This treatment gently repositions teeth over time without traditional metal braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions, it allows easier oral hygiene maintenance during treatment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer tooth-coloured brackets for less visible orthodontic treatment. They provide effective tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Suitable for patients wanting traditional brace effectiveness with reduced visibility during social and professional interactions.
Fixed Braces
Fixed metal braces deliver reliable, precise tooth movement for complex orthodontic cases. Durable and efficient, they remain the most effective option for significant bite corrections and severe misalignments. Regular adjustments ensure optimal treatment progression over the planned timeframe.

Worst experience of a NHS service ever. said that they gave lots of advice to my child and all they done was took a few pictures and gave us a foreign speaking person to communicate to us.couldnt understand a word she said.The orthodontist spent 5 minutes with my daughter in 3 visits. will be emailing the NHS to not pay him as he didnt do anything to earn his pay.

Very friendly orthodontist. Rang to sort out my permanent retainer which had started to wear out after about 10 years, saw me as a new patient 2 hours later. Really don't like getting work done on my teeth but he made me feel very relaxed. Overall a much better experience than what I had with my previous orthodontist. Would definitely recommend.

As a dentist myself I am more critical with my colleagues when it comes to having treatment carried out and I keep an eye out on every detail.
Lotus Orthodontics team is exceptionally professional and caring. The receptionist and nurses always made sure I felt comfortable throughout my appointments with a constant positive attitude. Dr. Wests professional career as an Orthodontist lead me to arrange and appointment with him in first place. Additionally, Dr. West makes you feel at ease from the first visit allowing you to relax, express your concerns, thoughts...and enjoy the chilled atmosphere

Chris and the team have looked after me since 2011. The treatment and service has always been second to none, from the warm welcome at reception to the friendly personable interaction with Chris during treatment. Today was again no exception and so Id like to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for looking after me once again. Thanks guys, it was great to catch up too 👍🏻
