Testimonials from Our Patients
“I have known Ben for a number of years and had nothing but excellent results and highly positive comments from patients I have referred to him. His care, attention to detail and professionalism is what made me choose him to carry out my own orthodontic treatment after years of indecision; it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made.”
– Joanne Parry, Rockhouse Dental Practice
“The patients I have referred to Beth have all been very happy with their treatment and the outcome. So much so, they have insisted on subsequent siblings being referred to Beth specifically. She is kind and gentle but thorough and professional. All my boys will be seeing Beth for their orthodontics.”
– Sarah Greig, Apple Dental Practice

Invisalign teeth straightening
The process of realigning your teeth has advanced through Invisalign, a treatment using removable aligners designed with state-of-the-art technology to create your ideal smile. With each aligner replacement, your teeth move progressively, week by week, until they reach the final position prescribed by our team.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
There is a diverse array of orthodontic treatments available today, encompassing braces of varying shapes, materials, and sizes. Generally, no single type of brace consistently offers quicker results than others; each presents its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The most suitable treatment option for you hinges upon your desired outcome and specific orthodontic requirements. Additionally, you may have choices not only in what can be treated but also in the approach to treatment.
To obtain a professional assessment from a specialist Orthodontist, you can arrange a FREE initial smile assessment. During this consultation, we will discuss a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and provide further information on how we can support you.
Meanwhile, you can find out more about some of the most common orthodontic treatment appliance options here…
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces offer a discreet way to align teeth by fixing them to the back surface. This ensures they’re hardly visible to others while effectively addressing a range of orthodontic issues, including some that clear aligners can’t handle.
Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable way to improve your smile, using custom-made aligners that are almost invisible. These aligners gently guide your teeth into alignment without the need for metal wires or brackets. Each aligner is tailored to fit your teeth and is worn for 7-10 days, for about 20-22 hours each day. They’re easily removable for eating and cleaning your teeth.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, coloured to match teeth, offer a transparent alternative to traditional metal braces. Crafted from a single clear sapphire crystal, each bracket undergoes a process of growth, heat treatment, and polishing to ensure exceptional smoothness and translucency. Known for their durability, ceramic braces harness the strength of sapphire, ranking second only to diamond.
Metal Braces
While not as favoured as some subtler alternatives, metal braces remain highly popular and effective. They offer a cost-effective solution compared to ceramic or custom metal brackets and provide comfortable wear. Particularly suitable for children, they can be customised with various colours, adding a fun element to wearing braces!
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are akin to both traditional fixed metal braces and clear braces. Brackets are affixed to the front surface of your teeth, with a thin arch wire threaded through to link them
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
What does an orthodontist do?
An orthodontist focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws. Orthodontics helps improve how your teeth look, how they function, and how easy they are to keep clean. Treatment can also support better bite balance and long-term oral health.
When should I see a Bristol orthodontist?
You can see a Bristol orthodontist at any age. While orthodontic treatment is often associated with teenagers, many adults also benefit from orthodontics to correct crowding, spacing, or bite issues that affect comfort or confidence.
What orthodontic treatment options are available?
Orthodontics includes a range of treatment options depending on your needs. This may involve fixed braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. A consultation with experienced orthodontists in Bristol helps identify the most suitable approach for your smile.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
The length of orthodontic treatment varies from person to person. Some treatments may take several months, while others take longer depending on the complexity of the case. Your orthodontist will give a clear treatment timeline after assessing your teeth and bite.
How do I know if orthodontics is right for me?
If you have crooked teeth, bite problems, jaw discomfort, or difficulty cleaning your teeth, orthodontics may be beneficial. A personalised assessment with orthodontists in Bristol allows you to understand your options and choose a treatment plan that fits your goals.
