Why Choose Us

​We are one of a small number of clinics in the UK, where all patients are assessed, treatment planned and managed by a consultant orthodontist. ​We are one of a few clinics worldwide where the lead orthodontic specialist is qualified in medicine, dentistry and orthodontics and is also highly experienced in facial surgery planning and novel non-surgical jaw development techniques.

​

What is a consultant orthodontist? - see our blog post: 'The Distinction: Dentist, Specialist Orthodontist, and Consultant Specialist Orthodontist - Uncovering the Differences'.

We know it's hard to schedule appointments whilst navigating life commitments sometimes. That's why we're open 14:00 - 20:00 on Wednesdays and from 09:00 - 17:00 on Saturdays.

What is face-first orthodontic treatment planning? ​When we assess and treat patients, we don't just line up teeth. We always start by assessing the 'face-first', we then assess smile aesthetics alongside function with an in depth understanding of biology, so we can provide the treatment options, comprehensively. An informed consent process involves being given all the varying options, pros and cons before deciding on which direction to proceed.

The world of healthcare is constantly changing. Our clinical lead is also research director at LINE + LINE and is a reviewer for the Journal of Orthodontics, an international peer reviewed scientific journal.

Our sister company LINE + LINE has a dynamic and agile research and development arm, which works on pipeline projects in the background keeping the clinic at the cutting edge.

We know that starting treatment is a big decision, and we want to ensure you have all the information you need to make a confident choice about your care. That’s why we offer free consultations, which include a comprehensive exam, and a chance to discuss your diagnosis, treatment options, financing, and insurance with our team. Schedule your complimentary consultation today by giving us a call at 01483 971698 or booking your visit online.​​

We have cutting-edge diagnostics such as our low dose facial, airway, orthodontic & dental 3D x-ray (CT) scanner, which can produce sharp diagnostic images of the inside of a teeth, as well as volumetric analyses of the airways and facial bones for our facial surgery patients. 

We also have cutting-edge treatments, such as high tech clear braces and clear aligners and innovative dento-facial orthopaedic techniques. We continually assess the market for technology that enhances patient care and turn these into treatments that improve patient experience and outcomes.

We do offer Invisalign ®, but we also offer a wide range of ​orthodontic appliances and other clear aligners. We will always suggest the pros and cons of each and recommend which might suit you best given your needs and expectations. It's your choice.

You accidentally break your brace on a pizza crust, we get it, life happens and we don't want you to sweat about it. That's why we offer a complimentary* orthodontic emergency clinic for our patients who are in treatment with us. Just call or email us and we'll sort the rest out.

​

*if you do excessively break your brace we reserve the right to apply a reasonable fee; although this has never happened to any of our patients to date.
