Your orthodontic journey, step by step

  1. Consultation
    We examine your teeth, bite and jaws, take photos and, if needed, X-rays, and talk through the options.
  2. Your plan
    You get a written treatment plan with the timescale and cost. For aligners, we show you a digital plan of the tooth movements.
  3. Fitting day
    Braces are fitted or your first aligners are given, and we show you how to care for them.
  4. Reviews
    Regular check-ups, usually every 6 to 10 weeks, to adjust braces or check aligner progress.
  5. Retainers
    When treatment ends we fit retainers and keep checking that your new smile stays straight.

Orthodontics in Croydon: your questions answered

Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist?

No. Adults can book a private orthodontic consultation with us directly. For NHS orthodontic treatment, children are usually referred by their dentist, and dentists can refer to us online.

Is my child eligible for NHS braces?

NHS orthodontic treatment is for under-18s whose teeth meet the NHS eligibility criteria, based on how much treatment is needed. We assess this at the first appointment and explain the options, including private treatment if your child does not qualify.

How much do braces cost in Croydon?

At our practice private metal braces start from £1,100, ceramic braces from £3,200, AddaSmile aligners from £1,499 and Invisalign from £1,850. Your exact fee is confirmed after your consultation, and 0% finance is available.

Can adults have braces?

Yes. Many of our patients are adults. Clear aligners and tooth-coloured braces are popular options because they are less noticeable.

Many treatments take between 12 and 24 months, while some aligner cases are shorter. You will get an estimate in your treatment plan.
