What Is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on correcting crooked, misaligned teeth and jaws. We use a variety of tools and techniques, such as braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic appliances, to help straighten teeth and improve a person’s bite.
We work with patients of all ages, from children to adults, and aim to create a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Whether you want to improve your smile for aesthetic reasons or to address an underlying dental issue, we can help you achieve your goals.

3. Brace or Aligner Fitting
We take time to make this appointment as smooth and comfortable as possible, explaining each step. Not sure which suits you? Read about fixed braces or Invisalign, or book a discovery consultation with Dr El-Angbawi.
4. Regular Adjustments & Reviews

What’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dentist with extra training in moving teeth and jaws into better positions. Dr Ahmed El-Angbawi, our Consultant Orthodontist, works in-house alongside our general dentists.
Do you treat adults as well as children?
Yes. We treat adults, teens and children, with braces or clear aligners.
Which treatments do you offer?
Fixed braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Dr El-Angbawi will talk you through which suits you at your consultation.
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
The British Orthodontic Society suggests an assessment at about age 7. Most children start treatment around 12 or 13, once their permanent teeth have come through. You can read more on our children’s orthodontics page.
