WHICH ORTHODONTICS ARE BEST FOR ME?
Bespoke treatments for every smile
Choosing an orthodontic treatment isn’t a trend, it's a decision built around you by taking into consideration your anatomy and lifestyle.
Lingual braces
Hidden behind your teeth, lingual braces are one of the most undetectable orthodontic treatments, so you can still feel like yourself while you straighten your teeth.
Ceramic braces
Life doesn’t stop when you have orthodontics. That’s why ceramic braces are made with frosted wires and clear brackets, making it the clear alternative to traditional metal braces.
Metal braces
The original teeth straightening option used primarily by the NHS, providing straightforward orthodontics at a lower price. Traditional fixed metal wires, visible brackets and monthly check-ins.
Clear aligners
Removable trays designed for convenience, comfort and precise results. They’re completely clear, easy to clean and worn 20-22 hours a day, gradually straightening your smile.

NHS VS PRIVATE ORTHODONTICS FOR TEENS
Private clinics offer speed and convenience
Why wait for a straight, healthy smile when you can get bespoke, customisable care straight away from your local private clinic.
Skip the average 18-week waiting lists at the NHS, and enjoy the luxury of booking next-day orthodontic appointments with a specialist who has your teens best interests at heart.
Choose private if you want flexible treatment options at a pace that works for you, without the waiting lists or medical necessity qualifying process (IOTN scale) used by the NHS.

FROM METAL BRACES TO TEEN ALIGNERS
Revolutionary teeth straightening solutions
Orthodontics for teens have come a long way from imprecise impressions kits to intuitive 3D intraoral scanning that builds a full profile, not just an idea.
Tracked with remote AI monitoring, we make cutting-edge orthodontic technology readily available and easy to use both inside and outside the clinic.
Choose a treatment that works for your teen from hidden lingual braces, undetectable ceramic braces or removable clear aligners.
- Braces usually take 6-12 months to straighten teeth.
- Clear aligners average between 4-6 months, depending on case complexity.
