Orthodontics

Orthodontics is about how teeth line up and how the mouth grows. In children and teenagers growth can be guided, as well as moving teeth.

It starts with a visit: we look at teeth, bite and growth, and tell you whether anything needs doing, when, and with which brace. For children the first check is best at around 4-5 years: that way most bite problems are spotted in time.

What we do

  • Orthodontic visit and growth assessment.
  • Fixed or removable braces to straighten teeth and correct the bite, then keeping the result in place.
  • For adults too, with discreet options such as custom-made clear aligners.
  • Regular check-ups throughout treatment.
  • Advice on keeping teeth clean with a brace.

How it works

  1. Visit and, if needed, X-rays and impressions.
  2. We explain what we see and the possible options, with timing.
  3. A written estimate, item by item, before starting.
  4. Treatment begins, with regular check-ups until the end.
