What appliances are available?

Retainers

After years of providing orthodontic solutions, we understand that dentists prefer different types of retention. As such, we are able to offer both fixed and removable options.

A popular choice, a Bonded Retainer with Jig is a valuable way to secure post-treatment stability - holding the wire in situ, leaving you ‘hands-free’ for simple bonding to the teeth.

Other options include: Essix, DURATAIN, Begg, Hawley, and our innovative Retainer SCi for your symptomatic patients that also require retention.

Express digital retainer service

This service means that digital scans that are received for retainers by midday are shipped the following day via tracked next day delivery - for an additional fee. This means retainers can be delivered as soon as 48 hours after the scan is taken.

Functional

Successfully delivering first-class functional appliances since 2005, we deliver both popular and commonly prescribed appliances, as well as those less routine.

Examples of functional appliances that we provide include: Twin Block, Medium Opening Activators (MOA), Bionators, the Frankel, the Herbst and Herner.

Always working to our dentist’s prescription, we are able to provide bespoke appliances to suit your requirements.

Removable

Our fully trained technicians are just as experienced in crafting quality removable devices, including spring and expansion appliances, using their vast knowledge in producing the highest quality appliances.

Our reputation for superior customer service is matched by the commitment and attention given to every appliance made in the lab.

Fixed

Our skilled technicians within our orthodontic department offer a full range of fixed appliances including: Quad Helix, Nance Button, and Trans-palatal/Lingual Arch. Bands, brackets and archwires can be supplied on request, as can indirect bonding and bracket set ups.

Our Fixed range also includes our newly launched Smilefixed self-ligating bracket system. Further details of this can be found below.
