Services
Orthodontic Assessment
Our comprehensive orthodontic assessments determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate dental alignment issues and develop customised solutions. The assessment forms the foundation for all subsequent orthodontic treatments, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This discreet option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic dental correction. Our specialists monitor progress through regular check-ups to ensure proper tooth movement.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces provide effective orthodontic treatment positioned behind the teeth for complete discretion. Custom-fitted to each patient's dental structure, these braces offer a cosmetic alternative while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional fixed appliances.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces combine traditional bracket technology with tooth-coloured materials for reduced visibility. These fixed appliances effectively correct complex alignment issues while maintaining a more natural appearance compared to metal braces.
NHS Orthodontics
NHS orthodontic services provide essential dental alignment treatment for eligible patients. Our practice offers NHS-approved care for children and adults meeting clinical criteria, ensuring access to quality orthodontic treatment through the national healthcare system.

Report
Steve seemed helpful and knowledgeable over email. My issue is with the receptionist who booked me in for a consultation, sent me a confirmation email and then cancelled my appointment. The pretext was that i did not pay 85 over the phone, after being told (over the phone) that i can pay at the clinic. Wasted 1hr driving there and back. Seemed unprofessional so i took my business elsewhere. The other issue is that the "clinic" is hidden on some obscure street behind a funeral shop - took me 20 min to find it. On the bright side, the people at the funeral shop were much more friendly and helpful

My eldest daughter had complicated orthodontic treatment with Katrina and Steve and the results are fantastic, they were brilliant throughout keeping us informed and reassured at every stage. My youngest is now undergoing treatment and once again I am incredibly happy with how things are progressing.

I have been going to Welwyn and St Albans orthodontic centre for my treatment for almost 3 years. I have my braces taken off with amazing result, my orthodontist and the staff are very friendly. My friend recommended me to him when I was searching for orthodontist treatment. After I see the result on me, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
