If you have a patient that you think may benefit from orthodontics prior to implants or any other restorative treatment then you can refer the patient as normal. Alternatively you can send in study models and a brief history and treatment plan.

If you let me know in advance I can arrange to see the patient at your surgery at their next appointment, as long as it’s not hundreds of miles away, and we can work out a treatment plan jointly.

Restorative cases that might benefit from braces include:

Up-righting molars for bridges/implants/partial denture
Consolidating spaces prior to bridges/implants
Moving teeth into and out of a space to “grow” bone prior to an implant
Making teeth ready for veneers
Intruding or extruding teeth
Extruding roots when there has been a sub-gingival fracture

When visiting the practice, please only do so if you have an appointment booked. Please do not attend if you are experiencing COVID symptoms, should be isolating, are awaiting a COVID test result, or have been abroad in the last 10 days. The front door will be locked, so when attending please press the buzzer to announce yourself for your appointment. Those in active treatment, please try, if at all possible, to attend alone.
