What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialised area of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Whether your teeth are crowded, spaced, or your bite is not aligned, we offer effective orthodontic treatments to give you a straight, healthy smile you’ll be proud of.

At The Dentist in Great Barr, Birmingham, we understand that a beautiful smile boosts confidence and improves overall oral health. Our experienced team uses the latest orthodontic techniques and technology to create personalised treatment plans for each patient.

Orthodontic Options We Offer

We provide a range of teeth straightening solutions to suit your lifestyle and preferences:

• Traditional Braces – Highly effective for correcting complex alignment issues, with customisable colours available
• Clear Aligners – Nearly invisible, removable trays that straighten your teeth discreetly over time
• Damon Q Braces – Advanced self-ligating braces that are more comfortable and require fewer adjustments

Who is Orthodontics Suitable For?

Orthodontic treatment is beneficial for both children and adults. Whether you’re concerned about crowding, spacing, an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, we can help. It’s never too late to achieve the smile you want – our team has successfully treated patients of all ages.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your orthodontic journey will include consultation, assessment, fitting, regular adjustments, and finally the exciting moment when your braces come off.

• Initial Consultation: We assess your teeth and discuss treatment options
• Treatment Planning: 3D imaging helps us plan your exact tooth movements
• Fitting: Your braces or aligners are fitted and you receive care instructions
• Regular Appointments: Monthly adjustments ensure steady progress
• Retention: After braces are removed, we’ll provide retainers to maintain your new smile

Orthodontic Treatment Costs

The cost of orthodontics depends on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment chosen, and the duration required. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable for all patients. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent quote and discuss all available payment options.

Once your treatment is complete, many patients like to celebrate their new smile with a finishing touch — our tooth jewellery (tooth gems) service lets you add a small crystal or gold charm to a tooth safely, with no drilling, from £45.

Had aligner or brace treatment elsewhere and still have composite attachments on your teeth? Our Invisalign attachment removal service polishes them off safely for £54 per attachment, including an enamel check.
