We provide clinical excellence in orthodontic dentistry and our renowned services and dental expertise are utilised in our skilled approach to the individual needs of each and every patient.
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:
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.
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.
The latest in clear aligner technology, Invisalign® is virtually invisible. They can be removed to eat, drink and brush your teeth too.
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.

”To say orthodontics is life changing is not an exaggeration. The transformation of an individual’s smile and life always fills me with happiness. The process takes time, and it is a journey I always enjoy sharing with individuals and their families. The end point is always one that brings such delight all round."
"Your smile is one of your best assets. All the effort and hard work that you place in the process of getting there will stay with you for the rest of your life and bring you rewards with each new day."
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.
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.
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.
