Treatment Types Offered By Our Orthodontist
Our orthodontists in London provide treatment options for all ages & case types
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear invisible aligners, gently shifting your teeth into place without wires or brackets. Popular with adults and teenagers who want a discreet treatment with minimal disruption. Virtually invisible braces.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most effective option for complex orthodontic cases. They are particularly suitable for younger patients or anyone needing reliable correction of severe crowding, gaps or bite issues. Also very cost effective.
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.
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. Damon systems can also reduce the need for extractions in some cases.
Orthodontic Treatments For Children & Adults
Kids Braces
The teenage years are the best time for orthodontic treatment – while the jaw is still developing and teeth respond quickly. We also offer early assessments from age 7, spotting issues early.
Adult Braces
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment for both cosmetic and functional reasons. It’s never too late to get braces. We offer flexible finance to make treatment accessible to a wider range of adults.

What Does An Orthodontist Do?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses exclusively on the positioning and function of teeth and jaws, rather than general dental care. They diagnose misalignments, bite issues, and irregular spacing, then design tailored treatment plans to correct these problems efficiently and safely.
Using tools such as braces, clear aligners, retainers and sometimes surgical interventions, an orthodontist gradually guides teeth into their optimal positions. Beyond cosmetic improvement, their work enhances oral health, making chewing, speaking and cleaning teeth easier. Orthodontists combine technical skill, careful monitoring and long-term planning to achieve results that are both functional and aesthetically balanced.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
Treatment Timeframes
Most orthodontic treatments take 12–24 months, but timelines vary significantly depending on your case. Very minor adjustments can take 3–6 months, while moderate alignment issues typically fall within the 9–18 month range. More complex orthodontic cases, especially involving bite correction, can take 18–36 months.
What Your Orthodontist Looks At
An orthodontist will assess crowding, spacing, and bite issues. For example, mild crowding may be resolved in under a year, while severe overbites or jaw misalignment can push treatment beyond two years.
Treatment Types & Timelines
Clear aligners often take 6–18 months for mild to moderate cases if worn properly. Traditional braces usually range from 12–24 months, while lingual braces may take slightly longer due to their precision.
Your Role In Treatment Timelines
Following your orthodontist’s instructions—like wearing aligners 20–22 hours daily—can keep treatment on track. Poor compliance can easily add 3–6+ months.
How Often Will I Need To Visit The Orthodontist During Treatment?
Orthodontic Visit Frequency
During orthodontic treatment, you’ll typically visit your orthodontist every 6–8 weeks. These regular check-ups allow adjustments to be made and ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
Visit Frequency Based On Type of Treatment
Visit frequency can vary depending on your orthodontic method. With traditional braces, appointments are usually every 4–8 weeks, while clear aligner patients may need check-ins every 6–10 weeks, sometimes with fewer in-person visits.
Monitoring Orthodontic Progress
Your orthodontist uses these appointments to tighten wires, change aligners, and track progress. If issues arise—like broken brackets or discomfort—you may need additional visits.
Flexibility
Some modern orthodontic clinics offer remote monitoring, reducing the number of in-person visits while still keeping your treatment on track.
Our Orthodontists Specialise In Bite Correction 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.
