Orthodontic Treatments
We provide comprehensive orthodontic treatments for children and adults, including both NHS-funded and private options. Our specialist orthodontists create tailored treatment plans to address dental alignment issues while improving overall oral health. With modern techniques and equipment, we deliver effective solutions that combine functional benefits with aesthetic improvements.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment offers a discreet teeth-straightening solution using custom-made clear aligners. This removable system gradually repositions teeth without traditional metal braces. Ideal for adults and older teens, it combines advanced technology with aesthetic appeal while maintaining normal oral hygiene routines throughout treatment.
Fixed Braces
We offer traditional fixed braces with metal or ceramic brackets for effective teeth alignment. These durable appliances provide precise control over tooth movement. Our modern fixed brace systems incorporate smaller, more comfortable designs while maintaining the efficiency of conventional orthodontic treatment methods.
Retainers
Following orthodontic treatment, we provide custom retainers to maintain your new smile. Our bonded and removable retainers prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. We offer the Retainers4Life programme for ongoing replacement needs, ensuring long-term treatment success through regular retainer use.
Children's Braces
Our specialist team provides orthodontic assessments for children from around nine years old. We offer age-appropriate treatment options including removable appliances and fixed braces. Early intervention helps correct developing issues while preparing for comprehensive treatment when all adult teeth erupt, typically around age twelve.

Professional and friendly service. My daughter was made to feel very welcome at both of her appointments, meaning that there were no nervous feelings about attending! We were given a clear plan for her future treatment. Thank you very much Glasgow Orthodontics.

Absolutely Horrible Receptionist, she is So Rude and unpleasant person. 0 customer service. 0 communications skills.Im wondering how they keep such people in the business. If you look at all other reviews youll figure it out what I mean. But the dentist was totally different and so friendly.

Very very rude staff, would not recommend for any private paying patient. You will need to wait months for any appointment because all the nhs patients have filled the spaces despite paying to get your teeth fixed and being told you will not need to wait months.Its absolutely disgusting having to keep stuff in your mouth without a change for so long. Mine moved from originally being fixed which is surely an indicator of there work and had to fork out more to rectify them to these people despite getting the worst care. It doesnt seem to uncommon for this place and really wish I went elsewhere

RECEPTIONISTS are extremely rude. Judy definitely needs to improve with her respect and manners towards customers. As well at the other girls (dont know their names). One of the ladies is okay but the rest of the girls attitudes are ridiculous. Absolutely not a friendly place, the girls at the desk make you feel completely uncomfortable with their rude looks, and tone. Many of my friends have also said that the girls seem to act as if they are above everyone by looking down on any person that walks in the door. Glasgow orthodontist would be a lovely place without the rude, unwelcoming girls

Utterly rude receptionists and shocking policies. My 16 year old brother travelled over half an hour by bus for his appointment, whilst enroute his bus was delayed as a brick was thrown through the window and hit him. Called the practice to advise he was running a little late only to be told if he was any more than three minutes late he would not been seen! Apparently emergencies don't exist along with a little empathy. Kirsty and Christie on the desk are highly unprofessional and then proceeded to mock and belittle my brother when he turned up five minutes late.

Horrible receptionists my daughter is petrified to ring for an appointment. My daughter has been going there for over 5 years, her retainer keeps breaking dispite adhering to the eating guidelines. She doesn't eat gum, or chewy sweets. Every time she has attended for repair there has been a charge, surely like every other NHS service you attend, if they do poor work why should you have to pay for it, if you had an operation and the wound opened are you charged to have it stitched back up, no. It's a loop hole that should be looked into. My daughters teeth are all moving leaving big gaps, so why
