We believe that it is never too late to start a teeth straightening programme. After all, taking care of your smile is a part of taking care of yourself. Whether you have crooked or misaligned teeth, an overbite, underbite or crossbite, we can use orthodontics to restore your smile and give you total confidence in your appearance.

We welcome enquiries from and on behalf of adults and teenagers. Our orthodontists in Cowbridge offer aftercare packages and a 12-month guarantee on all teeth straightening programmes.
The Invisalign™ system is based on creating a series of aligners that will apply strategic pressure points to your teeth over time in order to move them into the correct position.
Your orthodontist will review your requirements, carry out a thorough assessment of your mouth (including a scan), then put together a prescription that will outline how each of the aligners will work towards your ultimate goal of straighter teeth. Once you have discussed this programme with your orthodontist and agreed to start your treatment, the aligners will be manufactured and sent to you, and you’ll be able to start on your first tray within just a couple of weeks.
As long as you wear your aligners for the required 20-22 hours per day, you should be able to change to your next set of trays every week. You will need to visit our clinic every 4-8 weeks so our Invisalign™ specialists in Cowbridge can monitor your progress. Eventually, your course will be complete, and you will be left with impeccably straight teeth that you’ll be proud to show off! From here, we move to what’s called the retention stage.

Invisalign™ is a much less invasive course of teeth straightening treatment than traditional wired braces.
Invisalign™ trays are removable and designed to sit close to your teeth. So, when you choose to straighten your teeth with these braces, you won’t need to change your eating habits, your speech is not affected, and there is less irritation to the gums and mouth, meaning the treatment is virtually pain-free.
Overall, you’ll enjoy a much more comfortable and flexible experience when you choose Invisalign™, and best of all, you’ll start to see real results within just a few weeks.
Another benefit of Invisalign™ is that, thanks to the brand’s industry-leading technology, you can see how your new smile is going to look before you even commit to your treatment plan. As you can imagine, this is incredibly motivating; you’ll be excited to make a start and even more dedicated to seeing your treatment through if you know what you’re working towards!
As exciting as it is to finally finish your course of Invisalign™ aligners, you will need to take steps to keep your teeth in position. We believe that retention is the most important phase of your treatment, because following the correct method and being supervised throughout those crucial few months post-completion will help to guarantee lifelong results.
Following orthodontic treatment, your straighter teeth will be maintained using a combination of fixed and removable retainers, depending on your clinical needs. We will discuss the most appropriate options with you when you are coming to the end of your Invisalign™ treatment plan.
Often considered the ‘traditional’ route to straighter teeth, fixed orthodontic braces are permanently attached to outside surfaces of the teeth. These are suitable for most orthodontic cases and for patients of all ages.
Though fixed braces are typically more noticeable than Invisalign™ tray, advances in orthodontic technology mean that you can have ceramic brackets, which are less visible.
The NHS does offer specialist teeth straightening treatment for children under the age of 18 free of charge. However, not all children will qualify for this, as there is a set criteria known as the IOTN. Only those which meet the criteria will be treated. If you do not qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment or do not want to wait for up to 5 years for your child to have their braces fitted, we provide private orthodontic options that will get faster results. Payment plans can be used to spread the cost, and start from £40.00 a month. 0% interest is available.
