Treatment for Adults & Teens

Orthodontic treatment for adults and teens

Everyone expects children to have braces, but what about adults and teenagers who can’t face treatment? It is quite normal that you may have some concerns about the process of achieving a great smile. Don’t worry. Today, there is a choice of cosmetically acceptable braces designed to suite your lifestyle.

These range from the very discreet to the completely invisible and we will guide you to the option that will provide the best result in keeping with your work and social life.

Orthodontics is the best thing I’ve done. I know it makes me look years younger. 


Cosmetic fixed braces with clear brackets and white wires

For many adults (like Tom Cruise) and children, who prefer a more cosmetic brace, these are a great choice. Please ask our treatment coordinators if you would like to know more.
Although my treatment is not yet concluded I already feel a vast improvement in my smile. This is superb for boosting confidence and overall feeling of good health. Steven - ceramic

Friendly, professional, effective, everyone has been so friendly; it’s been a pleasure to receive treatment Rebecca – Invisalign

Completely invisible (lingual) braces

Fitted to the inside of the teeth. For any adult or child keen to avoid any sign of braces this is the ultimate choice. Our braces are bespoke (Incognito) and made of gold to ensure maximum comfort and precision. An amazing experience, when no one need know how you are changing your smile.
 


Invisible clear plastic aligners - Invisalign
Almost invisible option with no braces stuck to the teeth thus avoiding fixed braces completely.

We were amongst the first practices in the UK to offer our patients the choice of this exciting new technique. Treatment is carefully planned with 3D technology. You are supplied with a series of clear plastic aligners worn over the teeth. Each one is worn for 2 weeks before moving on to the next, until your teeth are in their new positions. It is suitable for adults and those children who are 12 years and older.

This is the treatment of choice for an increasing number of adults and children. We can confirm whether this is a good option to give you a great smile at your initial consultation. Just ring us to find out more.

I’m always grinning so it’s important that my teeth are straight. Invisalign is hardly seen so I can monitor the straightening of my teeth more easily.
I found Invisalign great as I could wear them whilst filming scenes,and not showing on camera, and I couldn't have asked for better results!

Orthognathic treatment

Technically complex treatment for those with the most complicated bites and jaw shape. This treatment is for patients who have a difference in the size of the top and bottom jaw.

Treatment involves both orthodontics and an operation to change the size of one or both jaws. The change to your bite and smile can be amazing.
 


I had been thinking of having orthodontic treatment for some years and a friend recommended Dr. Sharon Orton-Gibbs to me. I have found her fabulous in every way - very professional and yet at the same time friendly and understanding.

I am thrilled with the results - I now like photographs of myself - my smile is so even and many people have commented on what a difference it has made to my face. It was well worth the effort of treatment and wearing braces to achieve the end result. I recommend Dr. Sharon Orton-Gibbs to anyone who is considering orthodontic treatment.
