If you have irregular teeth due to crowding, spacing, missing or impacted teeth, or if your upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, orthodontic treatment can correct these issues.

Our highly experiencece Specialist Orthodontist Dirk Bister provides orthodontic treatment for teenagers and adults with a variety of braces that can be broadly divided into fixed and removable appliances.

Orthodontic treatment is also beneficial for many patients alongside other dental treatment such as gum disease therapy, or to help with crown and bridgework or implants.

Braces Explained

Brace Yourself for the Truth

Tooth straightening is often incorrectly thought to involve treatment with metal outside fixed appliances (because this technique is often used).

Due to the widespread use of ‘train track’ – ‘brace’ treatment, many misconceptions persist about orthodontics whicn can result in unnecessary apprehension among those considering Orthodontics.

Dentistry FAQs

What happens at my initial consultation?

Your initial consultation allows you to receive a diagnosis and discuss the options available without feeling that you are committing yourself to an unknown costly treatment.

Should you then wish to proceed with the orthodontic treatment you will need photographs, study models, and x-rays. These records can be taken on a second appointment if you so wish.

You will then receive a written treatment plan within the next two weeks or so. Should you at this stage no longer wish to pursue orthodontic treatment we will make a charge of £400.00 for this treatment plan. However, if you decide that you do wish to take up treatment at Devonshire House there is no additional charge for the treatment plan. The treatment plan includes a consent form, which needs to be signed and returned to us before treatment can commence. Once we have received the signed consent form from you, you can go ahead and book the first appointment for treatment.

When will I know how much my orthodontic treatment will cost?

In accordance with The British Orthodontic Society guidelines, a quotation for orthodontic treatment can only be provided following an initial consultation as the nature of treatment varies greatly according to each patient.

The British Orthodontic Society states: “Fees for private orthodontic treatment vary widely. The fee varies due to the complexity (difficulty) of the problem, the locality, and the experience of the orthodontist/dentist. Certain techniques such as aligner systems or lingual braces are also more expensive. Prospective patients should always ask for information from the orthodontist/dentist. A written quotation will be given to you but is normally only possible after the orthodontist/dentist has had a chance to assess your problem at a consultation”.

What is the cost of an orthodontic treatment plan if I don’t proceed with treatment?

Your treatment plan will detail the cost of your individual treatment required and treatment timeline and outline when payment is required. Please note that if you decide not to proceed with treatment there is a £400 charge for your treatment plan.

What’s included in an orthodontic treatment plan?
  • Braces, removable or fixed, as quoted in the plan (a 50% non refundable deposit is required for aligners or lingual braces (on the inside of teeth) at the time of ordering)
  • Adjustment and emergency visits
  • Laboratory work, unless discussed otherwise
  • An electric toothbrush, inter-dental brushes, travelling toothbrush, dental wax, disclosing tablets and fluoride mouth rinse
  • Retainers as advised in the treatment plan
