Orthodontics

The orthodontic department provides advice, and in appropriate cases, orthodontic treatment for abnormalities of the development of the teeth and jaws, and in particular mal-alignment and malocclusion of the teeth. We provide orthodontic opinions mainly to general and community dental practitioners and less commonly to medical practitioners. We liaise with specialist orthodontic practitioners in primary care and with hospital consultants including consultants in oral and maxillofacial surgery, restorative dentistry, paediatric dentistry, paediatrics, plastic surgery and ENT. We provide second opinions for concerned patients at the request of dental and medical practitioners or consultant colleagues.
