The Invisalign clear aligner system straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner approximately every week, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually towards the projected final position.

At the Hampstead Orthodontic Practice, we have seen an increase in the number of brides and grooms wanting orthodontic treatment to improve their smile before their special day. A wedding is often the biggest day in a person’s life and when the day arrives, you want to be able to smile with confidence.
Damon braces are the market leaders of a system of fixed braces which have the benefit of being “self-ligating”. This means that they do not need elastics to tie the wires into the brackets.
Lingual braces are one of the most discreet methods of straightening teeth and can be used to treat a wide variety of orthodontic problems.
Lingual braces are fitted to the back of your teeth and are invisible to the outside world providing a great option for patients who, for social or professional reasons, do not want anyone to know they are wearing braces.
The OrthoPulse system was created to compliment other orthodontic treatment. The simple-to-use, hands-free device can reduce the treatment time by up to 50%, and can be used with any type of orthodontic treatment, from metal braces to plastic aligners.
The OrthoPulse System uses a device which looks similar to a mouthguard, you simply bite down on the mouthpiece, and start the activator, using it for around 20 minutes per day. The device uses SoftPulse Technology to create microvibrations in your mouth, which cause the jawbone to remodel more quickly. This remodelling combines with the force of the orthodontic appliances used to move the teeth into their new positions faster, which reduces the overall treatment time.
You may feel a tingling sensation while using the OrthoPulse device, but you shouldn’t experience any pain. It is also possible for OrthoPulse to make orthodontic treatment more comfortable.
The clear brackets means that Symetri Braces are virtually invisible to onlookers and therefore perfect for those worried about how they will look in braces. Tooth coloured wires are also used with these braces for less visibility.
The patented smoothing process of the braces ensures maximum comfort during your treatment and the sapphire material of the braces is resistant to stains and discolouration, meaning they stay clear and look great throughout your treatment.
A Herbst appliance is used to correct overjet issues and misalignment with the upper and lower jaw. Herbst appliances can be worn with braces or they can be used as a singular orthodontic treatment.
The Herbst device works to gently apply force with the help of supportive stainless steel bands that are bonded to your four back molars with two telescopic attachments, which promotes growth between the upper and lower jaw.
Twin block braces appliances are a functional device used to encourage growth allowing the lower jaw to move forward, whilst improving its muscles and aligning the front and back teeth.
Twin block braces consist of two parts that work to help bring the lower and upper jaw together. They are extremely preventative in reducing overjets and malocclusions.
Twin block braces are generally more comfortable compared to other brace appliances as they require fewer dental wires, allowing patients to eat and speak normally. They are also removable which can be helpful when participating in contact sports.
Make a difference to your smile by improving the alignment of your jaws with our quick and effective twin block braces.
At the end of your active orthodontic treatment, we will provide retainers for you to wear. If you do not wear your retainer as recommended, your teeth are likely to drift towards their original positions. If this occurs then the only way to correct them may be to retreat.
