About the treatment
Straighten Teeth During the Growth Years
Orthodontic treatment can guide the position of a child's teeth and bite while the mouth is developing. The appropriate timing depends on the concern, the teeth present and the child's stage of growth. Some children benefit from earlier monitoring or treatment, while others are best reviewed later.
Dr Adam Carstairs (GDC 75063) works alongside Dr Nadyn Hemami (GDC 213465) to provide fixed-brace and clear-aligner options. Existing treatment plans range from £4,000 to £4,800 and include removable retainers. Suitability, likely duration and the need for any later treatment are discussed after assessment.

Assessment-led care
Orthodontic Care for Growing Smiles
An early orthodontic assessment can identify developing concerns and help decide whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate. It cannot guarantee that extractions or further orthodontic care will be avoided.
Fixed braces and clear aligners work in different ways. The recommendation depends on the tooth movements needed, oral health and whether a child can manage removable aligners as instructed. Reviews are used to monitor progress and adapt the plan where necessary.

"With children, timing matters as much as the treatment itself. I would rather monitor and start at the right moment than rush a child into braces they don't yet need."

Children's Orthodontics FAQs
Questions about children's orthodontics
Your consultation is the right place to discuss suitability, alternatives and what your own care may involve.
Fixed braces stay on the teeth and work 24/7, so they suit busy or forgetful youngsters. Invisalign Teen aligners are clear and removable, which is great for sport or music but relies on good wear discipline - about 20-22 hours a day.
