Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic correction through custom-made removable aligners. These transparent appliances gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces, ideal for adults and teenagers seeking aesthetic solutions. Treatment involves periodic aligner changes under professional supervision.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic fixed braces provide tooth-coloured alternatives to metal braces. Their translucent material blends with natural teeth while delivering equivalent orthodontic effectiveness. Regular adjustments ensure progressive tooth alignment in a cosmetically pleasing manner.
Traditional Braces
Durable stainless steel fixed braces offer reliable orthodontic correction for complex cases. Bonded directly to teeth, they use archwires and elastic ligatures for precise tooth movement. Regular adjustments maintain treatment progress over the planned duration.
Retainers
Post-treatment retainers maintain corrected tooth positions. Available as removable or fixed options, they prevent relapse after braces removal. Patients receive detailed care instructions and replacement guidance to ensure long-term stability.
NHS Orthodontics
NHS-approved orthodontic care for eligible under-18s focuses on dental health needs. Treatment requires dentist referral and follows strict clinical guidelines. Services include functional appliances and braces to address developmental bite issues and tooth alignment problems.

Questions
What orthodontic treatments do you offer?
We provide Invisalign, ceramic braces, traditional metal braces, functional appliances, removable braces, and retainers for private patients. NHS treatment includes eligible orthodontic corrections for under-18s.
How can I book an appointment?
Private patients can self-refer via our website form or phone. NHS patients require a dentist referral. Appointments must be arranged by telephone or in person during practice hours.
Why are retainers important after braces?
Retainers maintain teeth in their corrected positions post-treatment. Failure to wear them as instructed may cause teeth to shift, requiring replacement retainers at patient expense.
Is NHS orthodontic treatment available?
NHS treatment covers eligible patients under 18 with dental health needs. Referral from your family dentist is required to access this service.
How should I care for my orthodontic appliances?
Clean retainers daily with soap and water, avoid hot temperatures, and store properly when not in use. Follow specific care instructions provided for different brace types.
