If you have orthodontic issues such as an irregular bite, overcrowded teeth or gappy teeth, the best thing you can do is visit an orthodontist in Harley Street.

At Harley Street Dental Clinic, our orthodontists are friendly and gentle, and advances in orthodontics mean they can offer virtually pain-free dentistry.
Talk to our orthodontist in Harley Street about your fears
The best way to vanquish your fear is to talk about it. By discussing the aspects of a dental visit that make you anxious, our orthodontists can take measures to help put you at ease.

Benefits of seeing an orthodontist in Harley Street
There are a number of regular dentists who will fit certain types of braces and aligners, but if you have moderate or complex misalignment, it is worth seeing a trained orthodontist. As they specialise in correcting bites, straightening teeth and all the other imperfections that can be corrected with braces, they have the advantage of training and experience. In their training, they will have covered all types of misalignment, and will be well-placed to advise you on the best course of treatment.
Don’t fear pain
It is a bit of a misconception that braces are very painful. While there can be some discomfort when they are first fitted and after adjustments are made, the pain involved is minimal. Like other aspects of dentistry, orthodontics has moved on dramatically in recent years and new systems have been developed to cause much less pain and discomfort to patients. If pain is a particular concern of yours, talk to your orthodontist in Harley Street about it. It is important that they are aware of your concerns when considering the best treatment path for you.
