Orthodontic Treatment
At our Abergavenny practice, we offer a complete range of orthodontic treatments, including both fixed and removable appliances, designed to meet the needs of patients at every life stage. Whether you're considering early orthodontics for your child or seeking a discreet option as an adult, our focus is on delivering long-term function, facial harmony, and confidence in your smile.
Your Personalised Orthodontic Consultation
Your first appointment is a comprehensive assessment, where we take the time to understand your oral health, tooth alignment, bite function, and smile goals. Whether you’re looking to address crowded teeth, spacing, or bite irregularities, we’ll develop a bespoke treatment plan that reflects your individual needs and lifestyle.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools for Precision Care
Clinical Examination
We examine your facial profile, jaw alignment, and how your teeth meet to identify potential issues early—whether planning interceptive treatment for children or addressing complex adult cases.
Digital Intra-Oral Scan
Our high-resolution digital scanner captures accurate, 3D images of your teeth—no messy impressions required. This technology supports faster diagnosis and enhances the precision of your treatment planning.
Orthodontic Photography
A series of professional photos are taken to document your current smile and monitor progress throughout treatment. It also helps us visualise aesthetic goals and symmetry.
Panoramic X-Ray (Full Mouth Scan)
This detailed scan provides a complete view of your teeth, jaw joints, and bone structure. It helps us detect impacted teeth, monitor development, and assess any skeletal considerations affecting your treatment.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
Fixed Braces (Metal & Ceramic)
Fixed braces remain one of the most effective ways to treat a wide range of dental alignment issues—from overcrowding to crossbite and complex malocclusions.
- Metal braces – Traditional, strong, and reliable.
- Ceramic braces – A more discreet, tooth-coloured option often preferred by adult patients.
- Sectional braces – Used to improve the position of a few specific teeth, particularly for short-term cosmetic adjustments.
Fixed appliances work continuously and don’t rely on patient compliance, making them ideal for consistent, predictable outcomes.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Early intervention treatments designed to guide jaw development and reduce the need for complex treatment later on.
Upper Removable Appliance (URA)
Often used as a first step in orthodontic care for children, this custom appliance gently guides minor tooth movements or prepares the mouth for further treatment. It's designed for ease of use and can be removed for cleaning.
Twin Block Appliance (TBA)
This functional appliance is most effective during growth stages, typically between ages 11–14. It works by positioning the lower jaw forward to correct Class II malocclusions, improving both bite and facial profile.
Retainers: Securing Your Results
Once treatment is complete, retainers play a vital role in keeping your new smile stable:
- Removable retainers – Clear, custom-made trays worn nightly.
- Bonded retainers – A discreet wire fixed behind the front teeth, especially useful in high-relapse areas.
We’ll guide you on how and when to wear your retainers to maintain the best results for years to come.
Making Orthodontics Accessible
We believe orthodontic care should be accessible and stress-free. That’s why we offer:
- Transparent pricing with no hidden costs
- Interest-free payment plans
- Flexible appointments to fit your schedule
Your investment in orthodontic treatment is not just about straighter teeth—it’s about improved function, oral health, and self-esteem.
