Straightening teeth & orthodontics

Teeth straightening has changed enormously in recent years. Alongside traditional braces there are almost invisible and tooth-coloured options, and there’s no upper age limit.

Why straighten your teeth?

Bringing your teeth and jaws into harmony means you can bite together correctly and eat more comfortably. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which helps protect against decay and gum disease, and many patients love the boost to their confidence.

Is it ever too late?

Almost any age is the right age for braces. More adults than ever are choosing treatment thanks to virtually invisible options. Our dentists will recommend the best choice for your lifestyle and budget.

Children’s orthodontics

Most problems can be treated with traditional braces, but some need attention as soon as they’re noticed. We can refer to a specialist orthodontist where needed.

Your options

  • Quick Straight Teeth

    Clear removable and fixed appliances that are almost invisible, with an average treatment time of 4–24 weeks.

  • Invisalign

    Clear aligners for single or dual arch treatment.

  • Ceramic braces

    Tooth-coloured fixed braces that blend in far more than metal.

  • Fixed braces

    Metal brackets and wires for precise control, typically six months to two years.

  • Removable braces

    Can be taken out for cleaning or contact sports, used alone or with fixed braces.
