We offer two main types of braces, Damon fixed braces and Clearstep invisible braces here at our dental specialist centre in Romford in Essex:


Damon braces


The Damon System combines three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:
  1. Damon passive self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties".
  2. Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
  3. A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial aesthetics - usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.

Conventional braces (see image above left - left side) are tied in with elastics, which cause friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable. Damon braces (see image above left - right side) use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

You can find out more information at the Damon website.*

Clearstep invisible braces


Clearstep invisible braces are simple, affordable series of clear positioning trays, which gently guide your teeth from their present to the desired position.

Clearstep exerts gentle pressure upon the tooth/teeth in the direction in which you'd like them to move.

Provided you are over 14 years of age and your dentist considers you orally fit enough for orthodontic treatment, Clearstep may be for you.

Clearstep is wire free and does away with the need to bond metal onto the teeth. The braces are invisible and removable, allowing you, the wearer, to eat that steak dinner, give that public speech, meet that client without embarrassment or discomfort. You simply remove, brush, floss, rinse and reinsert.

You can find out more information at the Clearstep website.*
