Orthodontics & Braces
In Blackheath

No, there is no upper age limit for braces. As long as you have good oral health and are committed to wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, you could be a good candidate for Invisalign orthodontics.

You may feel some discomfort as you adjust to wearing your braces, and this is to be expected from treatment. As you get used to wearing your aligners, you should hardly notice them. When you switch to the next aligner in the series, you might notice some discomfort, but this will be easily managed with medication like ibuprofen or paracetamol.

While some under 18s may qualify for free orthodontics on the NHS, there are strict criteria to be eligible and there is often a waiting list. To help give parents more choice, we offer Invisalign at any age, which allows teens and adults to straighten their teeth on their terms.

Orthodontics is a complex branch of dentistry that requires a lot of skill and dedication to ensure optimal results. Orthodontic treatment also takes longer than most common dental treatments, which increases the final cost. With payment plans, you can spread the cost of treatment to make it more affordable.

We offer Invisalign orthodontics, which is a series of clear plastic aligners that help to straighten the teeth. The final cost depends on the severity of your case and which arches you would like to treat. We offer interest-free payment plans to help you spread the cost of treatment.

Orthodontic treatment addresses the alignment of your teeth to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional bite. Problems with the alignment of your bite can cause many different health problems. Orthodontics helps to correct these issues so you can chew and speak properly.
