We all know that children, and in particular teenagers, can be incredibly self-conscious and having crooked, overcrowded or mis-aligned teeth is extremely common whilst children are growing. These dental problems can affect eating, speaking, and certainly their overall confidence. Beautiful teeth are an asset, and if looked after well, a perfect smile can last a life time.

If your child requires Orthodontic treatment, then we accept referrals from other dentists and self-referrals. Our Specialist Orthodontist is experienced in working with children and has a reassuring and calm manner whilst achieving outstanding results.

Early, interceptive orthodontic treatment can be used to correct problems such as overbites, underbites, crowding and protruding teeth at an early stage. This makes later treatment much less complicated, or even make it possible to avoid it all together.

During your child’s initial consultation, we can identify any possible problems. If treatment is needed, we will then prepare a personalised orthodontic treatment plan for your child, which may include fixed or removable braces.

If you have a sporty teenager, then you may consider Invisalign^® treatment as the clear aligners are removable. This is an ideal solution for keeping the appliance safe and preventing the aligner from causing any damage to the teeth and gums from an impact. For fixed appliances, your orthodontist can supply mouth guards to fit over braces, this will act like a shock absorber to spread impact force over a large area. A well fitted mouth guard should prevent or greatly reduce the effect of any injury to the mouth area.

We have a selection of fixed and self-ligating braces that offer high quality results. If your child does not meet the NHS criteria but you still wish to pursue orthodontic treatment, you can consider funding the treatment yourself on a private basis. We offer flexible finance options to facilitate funding private treatment should that be your choice.

Whatever your child’s orthodontic needs, we will provide guidance on the treatment best suited to their condition and lifestyle, and leave them smiling with confidence.
