Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal braces. Our specialists employ Smileview technology to visualise treatment outcomes before starting. This discreet solution suits both adults and teens seeking aesthetic orthodontic care with minimal disruption to daily life.
Ceramic Fixed Braces
These tooth-coloured braces offer a less visible alternative to traditional metal braces. Our specialists fit them for patients prioritising aesthetics while maintaining the effectiveness of fixed orthodontic treatment. They provide precise tooth movement with enhanced cosmetic appeal.
Children's Orthodontics
We provide early intervention and treatment for children's dental alignment issues. Our specialists offer both NHS and private options, with tailored approaches for developing smiles. The service includes child-friendly consultations and age-appropriate orthodontic appliances.
NHS Orthodontics
Available for under-18s, our NHS service delivers essential orthodontic care. We follow strict eligibility criteria while maintaining the same high standards as private treatments. The service includes comprehensive assessments and appropriate appliance selection.
Orthodontic Therapy
Our registered orthodontic therapists provide supervised treatment under specialist direction. This includes routine adjustments and appliance maintenance. All therapy follows prescriptions from our principal orthodontists to ensure consistent quality and safety standards.
