Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is primarily concerned with the treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment is well known for its use in modifying tooth/jaw growth patterns in children, but is equally effective for all age groups.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons, i.e. improving the general appearance of patients' teeth and face for cosmetic reasons, but treatment may also be required for functional reasons to provide the patient with a improved bite (occlusion).

Orthodontic appliances may be fixed or removable, depending on the treatment required.  Dr. Sarah Neale is a specialist Orthodontist and has been practicing at Harley Street Dental Clinic for 5 years. Dr. Neale provides high quality orthodontic treatment to both adults and children in a relaxed environment, using not only traditional braces, but also more aesthetic options such as Clarity ceramic brackets, Invisalign and Incognito lingual (on the inside) braces.
