Why see a specialist
At least three extra years of training. And proudly independent.
A specialist orthodontist is a fully qualified dentist who has completed a further three to five years of full-time postgraduate training, focused only on orthodontics.
We’re a private, independent practice, not part of a corporate group. No head office and no huge advertising budget to fund, just two specialist orthodontists who’d rather put it into your care.
One fee, everything included: your braces or aligners, removable and fixed retainers, a 1-year retainer warranty, an oral hygiene kit and DentalMonitoring™ remote check-ins, with every appointment covered.

Areas we serve
Worth the short trip to Winchester
Families travel to us from across Hampshire — and from London, 56 minutes by direct train.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
No. You can book a free consultation directly with us. If you have a dentist, we’ll keep them informed of your treatment.
What happens at the free consultation?
You’ll have a 30-minute consultation with a specialist orthodontist, who will listen to your concerns, examine your teeth and recommend the treatment that suits you. Our treatment coordinator then talks you through costs, payment plans and finance options. There’s no obligation to go ahead.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Spark clear aligners start from £2,985 and fixed braces from £2,585. One fee covers everything: your braces or aligners, removable and fixed retainers, a 1-year retainer warranty, an oral hygiene kit, DentalMonitoring™ remote check-ins, a written treatment plan and all your appointments. You can spread the cost with a 0% in-house payment plan — see our fees page for every price.
What age should my child first be seen?
We recommend an orthodontic assessment around the age of 7. At this stage children usually have a mix of baby and adult teeth, and we can spot early signs of problems and advise whether treatment is needed now or later.
