They told my dentist to take a perfectly healthy tooth out to make room for braces when I was 17 and not sure what was right so listened. Got my (visible) tooth taken out and got braces. In less than a year I went to get them supposedly tightened but was late on the bus so arrived during my orthodontists lunch break. He was incredibly angry that I’d disturbed his lunch so took my braces off there and then with none of my teeth aligned and the gap still very visible. He also didn’t give mr a retainer. I remember sulking to my mum about being bullied about the gap, and the frontal tooth damage from taking it off too fast, at college, but when I sent an email explaining what happened I got a threatening letter back which traumatised me as I was going to uni and didn’t want any type of court stuff not being sure if it would effect my education. It’s been almost 7 years now and I’ve still got the gap and still having difficulties in my life because of my teeth damage I received that day. I’m not sure what to do but I don’t go a couple days since that day that I don’t stress about what they did to my teeth. The cost to get my teeth repaired now I’m an adult would be the equivalent of a house deposit and I’m still to this day utterly mortified.

Fantastic practice with consistent and reliable care. My son had braces fitted and he was supported and looked after for the duration of his treatment by a kind and friendly team who encouraged and informed him throughout. He is over the moon with the results. We would recommend to all. They are a wonderful, dedicated team.

All the staff have been extremely kind and helpful throughout the two years I’ve had braces on for. They kept me very well informed of what the next steps are and the timeline for the treatment. I got the braces taken off today and am extremely happy with the results.
