Compare qualified orthodontists across the UK. Get braces, Invisalign, or clear aligners from trusted specialists.
Orthodontists are specialist dentists who have completed an additional 2-3 years of postgraduate training specifically in teeth straightening and bite correction. While general dentists can provide basic orthodontic treatment, specialist orthodontists have advanced expertise in complex cases, facial growth, and the latest techniques including Invisalign, lingual braces, and accelerated orthodontics.
In the UK, around 1.5 million people are receiving orthodontic treatment at any time. About 25% of orthodontic patients are adults seeking treatment for aesthetic reasons or to correct long-standing issues. Modern clear aligners and tooth-coloured braces make adult treatment more discreet than ever before.
Straighter teeth are not just about appearance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and uneven tooth wear.
