At Hartog Dental, our award-winning team is fundamental to everything that we do. Our team approach means that we regularly draw on the diverse expertise and specialisms of each clinician to bring you and your family the very best care and attention possible.
Braces (orthodontic treatment) straighten or move teeth to improve the appearance and function of teeth. Braces can be removable, so you can take them out and clean them, or fixed to your teeth.
“I would recommend Ross to anybody who is thinking about getting Orthodontic treatment like I did….He completely changed my teeth, resulting in something I thought I would never have – a nice smile and a straight bite”
– BG
“Ross and his team were brilliant, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise, care and attention to detail. I felt daunted at the start of the process, but Ross was great at putting me at ease and he talked me through each step very clearly throughout my treatment. Overall, the skill of the team made the whole experience feel smooth and stress free. Thank you!”
Following your consultation, we will provide a full treatment plan (where treatment is required). Your treatment plan will explain any treatment options and relevant fees. We will discuss your treatment plan with you and clearly explain all payment options to help spread the cost of your treatment.
Our finance options can help spread the cost of your treatment, with rates starting from just 0% APR.
As your child grows and develops, their teeth may need orthodontic treatment for a lovely smile that builds confidence. We will help with the assessment of your child as their face and jaws grow, and dentition develops.
There is no set age for an orthodontic consultation, but usually, you will be referred at an appropriate stage by one of our dentists or by your general dental practitioner.
You are always welcome to book an appointment to discuss your concerns.
In certain cases, patients may have severe dental problems that require a collaborative treatment with orthodontics to prepare the teeth for bridges or dental implants.
We may use orthodontics to establish space for a missing tooth prior to a bridge or implant treatment, or to improve the arrangement of teeth after carrying out treatment for patients with advanced gum disease.
This is made all the more straightforward by the fact that we have specialists in all dental disciplines under one roof.
Though often thought of as a treatment for younger patients, orthodontics can actually be considered at any stage in your life. More than half of our patients are adults, and we routinely treat older patients, including those in their 60s and 70s.

I work in London and get home late. Could you fit me in?
Absolutely, we are happy to offer evening clinics and Saturday appointments.
I really do not like visiting the dentist. How can you help me with my anxiety?
Comfort breaks can be accommodated in longer treatments, and we can also provide oral and IV sedation carried out by consultant anaesthetists to deliver the very best care.
I haven’t been to the dentist in years. What should I do first?
We would arrange a new patient examination for you in order to discuss your dental history, take any necessary X-rays and discuss your treatment going forward.
What type of braces do you use?
We routinely use: Fixed braces (e.g. Damon system), Discreet fixed braces (e.g. Incognito Lingual braces), Invisible removable braces (e.g. Invisalign), Removable Braces (plastic with wire clips), Functional Braces (for growth modification)
What is the cost for braces?
Treatments can vary from simple to complex, but our experienced team will guide you through the best options. Please call one of our clinics for more details.
