At Heath Street Dental, we provide high-quality orthodontic treatment for adults and children. With a wide range of modern and traditional orthodontic options, we can help you achieve a healthier, straighter and more confident smile.
Orthodontics For Adults & Children
At Heath Street Dental, we have developed a high-class orthodontics service to provide you with a beautiful smile.
We offer orthodontics for both adults and children to align the teeth comfortably and aesthetically.
Our commitment is to meet the individual needs of our patients by providing the highest quality care, ensuring maximum satisfaction. We have a wide range of options in orthodontics to suit your requirements. We also offer interest-free, 0% finance payment plans to help make treatment affordable.
A straighter smile can make the world of difference to your face. It can also improve the health of your teeth and gums. Crooked teeth are harder to keep clean and can therefore contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
An early orthodontic assessment is the best way to ensure that your children have a healthy, straight smile later in life. Our specialists recommend that the initial consultation should occur by age 7. However, you should have your child’s teeth evaluated sooner if there are any signs of orthodontic problems.
Orthodontics can make a huge difference to patients of all ages. Orthodontics is now extremely popular for adults too. This has been driven by advances in brace technology to allow virtually invisible options for orthodontics.
At Heath Street Dental, we provide a range of orthodontic options including Invisalign, lingual, ceramic and metal braces.
With so much choice, it’s often hard to decide between brace options. Here’s a handy table to show you the differences:

Your Lingual Braces Journey
Metal braces are strong, fixed appliances used in orthodontic treatment. These traditional fixed metal braces remain one of the most popular and effective orthodontic treatment options, particularly for children and teenagers.
They consist of very small metal brackets attached to a wire that are placed on the front of your teeth. The braces gradually move your teeth into their correct position over time.
Metal braces are also popular with younger patients because coloured bands can be used to personalise their braces.
A More Discreet Option
Ceramic braces consist of very small tooth-coloured brackets attached to a wire that are placed on the front of your teeth.
Similar to traditional braces, ceramic braces use constant and gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their proper positions.
Ceramic braces are much less visible than metal braces. The tooth-coloured brackets and wires make them barely noticeable, helping you smile with greater confidence.
As a cosmetic orthodontic option, ceramic braces are particularly popular with adults looking for a less noticeable fixed brace treatment.
Discreet Orthodontic Treatment
Lingual braces offer an almost invisible way to straighten your teeth.
They consist of very small metal brackets attached to a wire that are placed behind the teeth, making them virtually undetectable when you smile.
Lingual braces use constant, gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their proper position while keeping the orthodontic treatment hidden from view.
Clear & Removable Aligners
Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth.
The aligners work by applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific teeth, gradually moving them into their new position.
For the best results, aligners should generally be worn for around 20 to 22 hours each day and removed for eating, drinking and brushing. This makes Invisalign a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional braces.

Invisalign uses custom-made, removable clear aligners, while metal, ceramic and lingual braces are fixed to the teeth. Each treatment has different benefits, and suitability depends on your individual orthodontic needs.
You may experience some temporary pressure or mild discomfort when treatment begins or when adjustments are made. This usually settles as your teeth gradually adapt to the movement.
