Treatment options
Options within orthodontics in Shepperton
Modern and digital technology has revolutionised how a specialist orthodontist can straighten teeth. Your orthodontist will recommend the option best suited to your case.
Braces
Traditional metal brackets and wires — a range of styles available.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured or clear brackets for a less obvious appearance.
Lingual Braces
Brackets and wires placed on the inside surface of the teeth — hidden from view.
Invisalign®
Clear, removable aligners that move teeth in small steps — a new aligner every ~2 weeks.

Prominent teeth are more at risk of trauma — orthodontics can move them into a safer position.
Jaws and teeth in correct alignment function better and share biting forces more evenly.
