Orthodontic Treatments We Offer
Our orthodontists in London provide options for every age, case, and lifestyle.
Our London orthodontists provide the full spectrum of modern treatment options, so you can choose the approach that best suits your lifestyle and goals.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is one of the most popular modern alternatives to fixed braces. Using a series of custom-made clear aligners, Invisalign gently shifts your teeth into place without wires or brackets. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and designed to fit seamlessly into daily life. For adults and teenagers who want a discreet treatment with minimal disruption, Invisalign is often the first choice.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most effective option for complex orthodontic cases. Today’s designs are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than traditional braces, while still offering precise control over tooth movement. They are particularly suitable for younger patients or anyone needing reliable correction of severe crowding, gaps, or bite issues. Despite their visibility, metal braces are a trusted, cost-effective treatment with predictable results.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work like traditional metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. This makes them a popular option for adults and professionals who prefer a more discreet look while still benefiting from the strength and precision of fixed braces. Ceramic braces are especially suitable for patients who want reliable results without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use advanced self-ligating technology instead of elastic ties, allowing the wire to move more freely. This means less friction, fewer adjustments, and often faster treatment times compared to traditional braces. Damon systems can also reduce the need for extractions in some cases. With clear bracket options available, they are an excellent choice for patients looking for a balance of speed, comfort, and discretion.

Braces For Adults Vs Children
Children’s Braces
The teenage years are the best time for braces – while the jaw is still developing and teeth respond quickly. We also offer early assessments from age 7, spotting issues like crowding or bite problems before they worsen. Options include traditional metal braces, removable appliances, and discreet ceramic braces for older teens.
NHS funding is only available for severe cases in children and does not cover adult orthodontics. By choosing private care, you benefit from faster treatment, flexible finance, and a full range of modern orthodontic systems.
Adult Braces
It’s never too late to realign your smile. More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment for both cosmetic and functional reasons.
We offer discreet options such as Invisalign, ceramic braces, and Damon systems, as well as flexible finance to make treatment accessible.
Correcting Bites and Jaw Alignment
Orthodontics is about much more than straightening teeth. Many patients come to us with bite problems that affect comfort, speech, or long-term oral health. Our orthodontists are trained to diagnose and correct:
Overbite – where the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth.
Underbite – when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.
Crossbite – when some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
Open bite – where upper and lower teeth don’t meet when biting together.
Correcting these issues can improve chewing efficiency, protect teeth from uneven wear, reduce jaw discomfort, and even support clearer speech. By addressing both the appearance and the function of your bite, our orthodontists help create smiles that look good and work properly.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
The time needed for orthodontic treatment varies depending on your case and the system you choose:
- Invisalign clear aligners – usually 6–18 months, depending on complexity.
- Metal or ceramic braces – 12–24 months for most patients.
- Damon braces – can sometimes reduce treatment times to 6–20 months with fewer appointments.
- Early or interceptive treatment for children – short-term removable appliances can be used over a few months to guide jaw growth.
At your consultation, our orthodontists will give you a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Retention and Aftercare
Finishing orthodontic treatment is a big milestone, but keeping your results is just as important. Teeth naturally have a tendency to move back towards their original position, which is why retainers are an essential part of every treatment plan.
- Removable retainers – custom-made clear trays, usually worn overnight.
- Fixed retainers – thin wires placed discreetly behind the front teeth for permanent support.
Our orthodontists will recommend the right type of retainer for you and explain exactly how long to wear it. We also provide aftercare checks to monitor your progress and ensure your new smile stays perfectly aligned for years to come.
