Many of us have grown up watching our school friends wearing braces and assume that once we get past the age of 18 there is nothing that can be done about the position of the teeth. Interestingly, many adults notice that their teeth get more crooked with age and may not have needed a brace […]
urprisingly, this is a stumbling block for a lot of patients. As orthodontists, we are asking a lot for patients to take our word for it. Not just the financial investment, but the time and perceived discomfort involved as well. Some patients ask us “will it work?”. What they really mean is “what if it […]
It’s a common question I get asked by patients, and perhaps for some people the reason why they decide not to go ahead with treatment. It’s natural to fear something that could cause us pain and to actively avoid it. Let me reassure you, although for most people there is a little discomfort the first […]

The video featured a very pretty young lady with, from what I could see, moderate crookedness of her teeth, especially the lower ones. […]
A professional consultant in her 40s chose the ICE brace and with her desire to get the perfect smile and healthy straight teeth as soon as possible she was keen to minimise the time spent in braces. She therefore chose to utilise the AcceleDent system and has provided some feedback on her experience with us […]
One of our patients, a broker in his 40s was concerned about his upper and lower crowded/crooked teeth and was interested in a very discreet brace, so elected for an Incognito brace on the upper teeth and the ICE (clear) brace on the lower teeth.
