Glasgow Orthodontics

Glasgow Orthodontics is one of Scotland's most prestigious orthodontic practices. We have been in existence for over twenty years and have sought to distinguish ourselves from other orthodontic practices by providing a patient and family friendly practice where standards of patient care and good communication are paramount.

Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth to improve the smile and the way they work. Orthodontic treatment can also improve the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints. There are also removable braces, functional braces (twin blocks) and clear removable aligners. Orthodontic treatment may involve extractions to create space if the teeth are crowded or if they stick out.

For patients under 19 years of age, many milder cases will not be eligible for NHS funding. In these cases, if treatment is desired, we offer a range of self-funded and private options for the consideration of young patients. Most adult patients are treated privately. There is a wide range of low-visibility brace options available under private care and more flexible appointment times.

Free NHS orthodontic treatment is available to everyone under the age of 19 provided they are in full time education but conditions apply. It is intended to provide treatment for those patients who need it on dental health grounds, for example such problems include protrusion of the teeth, severe mal-alignment or crowding of the teeth and congenitally missing teeth.

For children that do not qualify for NHS treatment, we are pleased to offer an Independent / Self-Funded option that closely resembles the NHS fee structure. Stainless steel braces are used. Your treatment will be during school hours and will be carried out by one of our expert Orthodontic Therapists closely supervised by a registered Orthodontic specialist.
