Orthodontics
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the means by which teeth are moved into a better position. The benefits of this include improved dental health and appearance. For many patients, their enhanced appearance contributes to increased self esteem and enjoyment of life.
It’s never too late to change your smile. Orthodontic treatment can be carried out at almost any age provided the teeth and supporting structures are healthy. It is increasingly common for adults to have treatment, especially with the advent of low visibility braces. Most frequently treatment is done in the early teenage years when the permanent teeth have erupted, however in some cases it can be started before all the baby teeth have been lost. Currently the majority of orthodontic treatment is done using fixed appliances and is followed by long term wear of retainers to prevent unwanted tooth movement.
Treatment options
Wherever possible, the removal of teeth is avoided. If you are concerned about the appearance of your brace, you maybe suitable for clear aligners such as Invisalign or lingual braces, where the brace is glued behind the teeth and therefore not visible.
Forestadent® 2D lingual braces are the flatest brackets on the market and therefore much more comfortable. Alternatively tooth coloured brackets can be used on the front of the teeth. Growth modifying appliances may be appropriate for certain individuals. Also available is the latest generation in self-ligating appliance (the Damon appliance) Simple appliances can be used in conjunction with more complex treatments or occasionally they can be used in isolation.
What are clear braces?
Clear braces use a series of clear plastic aligners to move your teeth gently into the desired position. They can be a good alternative for people who want a great smile but do not want to wear conventional braces.
How much does it cost?
The cost of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. For more extensive treatments costs can be spread in instalments.

“I love orthodontics. I find it hugely rewarding to see the changes that take place during treatment. I get to know my patients really well and see not only the change in their smiles, but also their gain in confidence. It is a privilege to be part of it.”

“When I visited Rosemary Jones my teeth had been causing me concern for a number of years. I had not realised that orthodontics treatment could make such a drastic difference to my appearance. I feel so much more confident in meeting people. It was an investment well worth making. Thank you!“
“To anyone thinking about braces, I would say go for it! I wasn’t too sure about it at the start, they felt really weird in my mouth but as the teeth started to straighten I could see the changes and I am really glad I had it done.“
“I am really pleased with my new smile! I was very nervous about having braces but you were so kind and explained everything that was going to happen so it was much easier than I imagined. I don’t regret it at all. The best bit was being able to show my dazzling smile on Prom Night! It was so worth it.“
“I really like my teeth now. Thanks! You put me at my ease straight away and you explained what you were going to do. There was a bit of discomfort to begin with but I got used to it. Now I can’t stop smiling!“
“Thanks for the great smile! I’m even more handsome now!“
“Thanks, Rosemary for sorting my teeth out. Everyone has been impressed with the changes and I feel so much more confident about smiling. My teeth look awesome!“
