Braces

Your journey to a straighter smile, made simple

Straightening teeth has never been easier – or more discreet.

Gone are the days when many adults avoided braces because of bulky metal “train tracks” or multi-year treatments. Today, many smiles can be transformed in as little as six months with sleek, clear, or invisible braces.

Our treatments deliver beautifully aligned teeth without drawing attention. If you opt for clear aligners, no one will even know you’re wearing them… we promise not to tell!

What our patients say...

Braces FAQs

Am I suitable for short term orthodontics?

You need to be dentally healthy with an excellent tooth cleaning regime before braces can be provided safely. Crowns and fillings don’t mean you can’t have treatment, but tooth decay and gum disease do. If you haven’t had a dental check up in over a year you will need to book one with us or your own dentist if you have one.

We would recommend you come in for a free no obligation consultation when we can tell you if we can provide treatment for you, or whether you will need a specialist orthodontist to achieve your desired result.

Does it hurt?

The fitting, adjusting and removal of the braces is not painful, but you may find that your teeth ache for the first few days after adjustments, or after changing to a new aligner. Also the wires on fixed braces can make the cheeks sore for a week or two after they are first fitted. We provide you with special wax to put over the wires to make this more comfortable until the soreness wears off.

How long does the treatment take?

This varies depending on what the problems are that you want to correct. In general most treatments take between 4 and 9 months, but some more complex cases can take over a year. We will give you an estimate of when we think you will finish when you have your initial consultations.

Will I need to wear retainers?

Yes! Many of our patients are having braces because they stopped wearing their retainers after they had orthodontics as a child and their teeth have relapsed. Teeth move throughout life and this movement can only be minimised by wearing either a fixed retainer on the back of the teeth or a removable retainer every night, for life.

Can I eat and speak normally with my braces in?

With any brace there is a period of adaptation for a week or two. Speech normally adapts very rapidly. Note that the Inman Aligner will usually change your speech a little for the whole time you wear it.

Certain foods will need to be avoided when wearing fixed braces as they can damage the wires or brackets.

You cannot eat, or drink anything other than water, with an Inman Aligner or with Invisalign or Smilelign clear aligners in place. As these need to be worn 22 hours a day for the best effect, this means that you will not be able to snack frequently during your treatment.

Not sure whether the treatment is for you?

We were thrilled to welcome the England team to the practice this morning for a quick check-up before hopping back on a flight to the US for their semi-final this evening! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hopefully there'll be LOTS of smiles on show tonight, so we wanted to make sure their teeth were looking sparkling for the occasion. ✨

Good luck, England! 🏆⚽

Full mouth transformations are amazing, but not every smile needs one... In this case, we used a small amount of composite bonding on the two upper left front teeth to improve symmetry and create a more balanced smile.
 
A subtle enhancement can make all the difference. 😊

It's #PlasticFreeJuly! 🌍♻️

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages people across the world to reduce their plastic waste through simple, everyday choices.

We know that many oral hygiene products contain plastic, and avoiding it altogether isn't always easy. That's why we set up our dental recycling scheme here at the practice.

If you haven't started recycling your dental products yet, it's easy to get involved! We accept:
✅ Toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads
✅ Toothpaste tubes
✅ Interdental brushes and floss containers

Simply drop your used items into the recycling box at our reception. Whether you're one of our patients, a local resident, or just passing by, everyone is welcome to use it. 💚

✨ Smile Refresh! ✨
 
Joanne wanted to refresh her two front teeth while keeping her smile hers. We removed the old composite and carefully reshaped the edges to create a beautiful, symmetrical and natural result that she was thrilled with! 🦷🎉
