Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatment revolves around the art of sculpting smiles, gently guiding teeth to their ideal positions.

Beyond the aesthetics, straight teeth offer not just a radiant appearance, but also enhanced functionality and effortless cleaning.

Advances in technology and techniques have contributed to a more pleasant experience for patients undergoing orthodontic procedures. While some minor discomfort may still happen during certain phases of treatment, such as initial adjustments or when transitioning to a new set of aligners, it is typically temporary and manageable.

We offer:

  • Discreet and removable aligners
  • Tooth coloured ceramic brackets, bonded to the lip side of the teeth
  • Traditional metal brackets, bonded to the lip side of the teeth

Your consultation

Your initial meeting with Alejandro is dedicated to a relaxed consultation. This is your opportunity to express your concerns about your teeth and discuss your desired outcome. He will then outline suitable treatment options for you.

As a general rule, fixed brackets tend to be the most effective for addressing significant changes, Clear aligners are highly effective for addressing a variety of orthodontic issues and often yield quicker results for less complex movements compared to traditional fixed brackets. Recent advancements in technology, have improved treatment precision and convenience by reducing the need for frequent visits. They are suitable for a range of cases, providing favourable outcomes with proper planning and oversight. Additionally, their discreet design allows patients to maintain confidence throughout the treatment process, making them a popular choice.

Orthodontic treatment with aligners is ideal for people who would prefer not to have brackets on their teeth.  When the aligners are in place they are invisible  –  they just make your teeth look shiny.  They need to be worn night and day except for meal times and for cleaning.

3 D-scans are taken, a technician then produces a computer generated assessment to show the potential results that may be achieved.  When you have seen this and are happy with the new computerised look the required sets of aligners are made and sent to us.

The aligners are made in a series, each set being worn for approximately 2 weeks until the treatment is completed.

The treatment duration will depend on the complexity of the treatment, and therefore how many sets of aligners are needed.

The brackets are usually ceramic ones and are bonded onto the lip side of the teeth.  The appearance is good as they blend with the colour of the teeth.  A wire connects all the brackets  –  it’s the wire that does the actual work of moving the teeth.

The treatment is carried out very gently and carefully and most people find the fixed brackets entirely acceptable with very little (if any) discomfort during the treatment.

You may experience some minor discomfort for a few days following your adjustment appointments or when a new set of aligners is fitted.  This is usually just a feeling of pressure and is a sign the treatment is active.

Excellent oral hygiene is essential during treatment, both in terms of your own home care and also regular treatment with your hygienist. We strongly advise for both regular visits to the hygienist and maintenance of your routine dental examinations.

As a guide treatment with clear aligners or ceramic brackets varies from approximately £3,3655.00 – £5,955.00.  After the consultation the fees for the treatment options available to you will be provided.

Payment is usually made with a first deposit and the balance in instalments during the course of the treatment.
