Why choose Portman Smile Clinic Chichister?

​Located at Southern Gate, just a five minute walk from Chichester Train Station, we’re happy to welcome patients for treatment on the NHS or private. Our practice was purpose built, purely for specialist orthodontics and is equipped with the latest orthodontic technology.

Our specialists are dentists who have undertaken a minimum of an additional three years of postgraduate orthodontic education and training in hospitals to become experts in the field of teeth straightening.

Benefits of teeth straightening​

Teeth straightening works by using either braces or aligners to carefully and gradually move your teeth into a new, straighter position. This offers numerous benefits, both functional and aesthetic, including:​

  • Improving the appearance of your smile​
  • Correcting the way your teeth bite together and function ​
  • Reducing the risk of damage to prominent teeth ​
  • Making it easier to clean your teeth effectively

We know that your smile is important, so we want you to be able to start your journey with us as soon as possible. That’s why we are pleased to offer finance options to those who are eligible, starting from as little as 0% APR.

What types of teeth straightening solutions do we offer?

Fixed metal braces

Traditional braces have metal brackets that are attached to the front of your teeth and connected by metal wire. It’s the most common treatment – and a popular one too.  ​

Fixed ceramic braces

These braces use tooth-coloured or clear ceramic brackets, so they’re less visible and more aesthetically pleasing. They work like metal braces and are suitable for most cases.​

Invisalign® clear aligners

The latest in clear aligner technology, Invisalign® is virtually invisible. They can be removed to eat, drink and brush your teeth too.​

NHS orthodontics

If you're are under 18 and meet certain criteria, you will be able access treatment on the NHS. If you’d prefer a less noticeable option, please speak to an orthodontist who can advise you on private options.​

FAQs

What’s involved in the treatment?​

Your orthodontist will start with an initial consultation – x-rays, photos and impressions or scans of your teeth will be taken (at your consultation or another visit). You’ll then receive a tailored treatment plan explaining your options and costs.  ​

How many appointments will I need?​

You'll usually need to visit your dentist approximately every six to eight weeks for adjustments to be made. The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the case and type of treatment you choose to straighten your teeth.  ​

How do I care for my smile throughout treatment?​

Your orthodontist will explain thoroughly how best to care for your aligners or braces. This includes how to maintain good dental health by regularly brushing your teeth (and appliances if you have braces) and avoiding certain food and drinks.​
