Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-designed clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable braces offer comfort and convenience, with check-ups every 6-8 weeks. Patients see results within weeks, with treatment durations ranging from 6 months depending on complexity.
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces provide precise tooth movement for complex cases. Regular adjustments ensure optimal alignment, with treatment durations typically 16-28 months. This method effectively addresses severe crowding and protrusion issues.
Child & Teenager Orthodontics
Specialised treatments for developing smiles include functional appliances and child-friendly braces. Early intervention addresses bite issues, with flexible appointment times available after school hours to accommodate families.
Cosmetic Appliances
We offer discreet orthodontic solutions like lingual braces and clear aligners. These treatments prioritise appearance while achieving functional improvements, with options suitable for both professional and social lifestyles.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain treatment results long-term. We provide both removable Essix retainers and bonded options, with detailed care instructions to ensure lasting smile stability following active orthodontic treatment.

Bad initial consultation, the orthodontist was very very mean to me, felt like she was angry or something and transferred aggression. I wouldn't even want to us this practice even if I need braces. Not recommended. Service may be good but the first contact and communication pit me off.
Ardmillan please work on your consultation service.

If i could give more stars I would. I'm so happy with the results from my invisilign treatment, the professional and thorough care I received at Ardmillan Orthodontics was fantastic. Through the Covid pandemic they kept in contact with any updates, they adapted their care and have been both professional and caring throughout.

Smile was always in my heart, but not necessarily on my face. Everything changed when I met dr Eman and the team. Today I finished my braces treatment and I'm so thrilled with the result! I still cannot believe that my smile is so different! I will always repeat that Dr Eman is not an ortodontist, she is a magician! Thank you so much for my new smile, I can highly recommend Ardmillan Ortodontics!
