Private Orthodontic Care for Children and Adults
A confident smile can change the way you feel about yourself. Whether you're considering orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child, our aim is simple – to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime.
At Alpha House Dental Practice, we provide private orthodontic care for children, teenagers and adults in a welcoming, relaxed environment, carried out by out highly experienced Team. We combine the latest evidence-based techniques with a personal approach, taking the time to understand your goals, answer your questions and create a treatment plan that's right for you.
Orthodontic treatment does much more than straighten teeth. It can improve the way your teeth bite together, make them easier to clean, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and create a smile that looks as good as it feels. Whether you're concerned about crowded teeth, gaps, protruding teeth or your bite, we will help you understand your options and guide you every step of the way.
You don't need to be a registered patient at Alpha House to benefit from our orthodontic service. Your own dentist can refer you, or you can contact us directly to arrange a consultation. If you already have a family dentist, you can remain under their care while receiving your orthodontic treatment with us.
Wherever you are on your smile journey, we're here to help you make an informed decision, at your own pace, with expert care and support from our experienced team.
Take the first step towards a smile you'll love. We'd be delighted to welcome you.
Helping Young Smiles Grow
Every parent wants to give their child the best possible start in life, and a healthy, confident smile can make a lasting difference. Orthodontic treatment isn't just about straight teeth – it can improve oral health, support healthy development and give children the confidence to smile throughout their teenage years and beyond.
If your child doesn't qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment, it can naturally be disappointing. The good news is that private orthodontic care offers an excellent alternative, with shorter waiting times, personalised treatment planning and access to a wider range of modern treatment options.
At Alpha House Dental Practice, we will take the time to explain every option clearly, answer your questions and recommend the treatment that's right for your child. We also offer special reduced fees for patients under 18, helping to make high-quality orthodontic care more accessible for families.
Every child deserves a smile they can feel confident about.
Orthodontics - More than straight teeth
A smile you feel good about can make a real difference to your confidence. Orthodontic treatment is about much more than appearance – it's about creating a healthy smile that functions well and lasts a lifetime.
Orthodontics is the area of dentistry dedicated to gently correcting the position of your teeth and jaws. Using modern braces or clear aligners, teeth are moved gradually into their ideal position, improving both the way they look and the way they work together.
As well as creating a beautifully balanced smile, orthodontic treatment can make teeth easier to clean, support healthier gums, improve your bite and reduce excessive wear on your teeth. The result is a smile that's not only more attractive, but healthier too.
Whether you're considering treatment for yourself or your child, we're here to help you understand your options and take the next step with confidence.
Orthodontic Treatments Tailored to You
No two smiles are the same, which is why every orthodontic treatment plan at Alpha House is individually designed around your needs, lifestyle and goals. Whether you're an adult looking for a discreet solution or a parent exploring treatment for your child, we will recommend the option that's right for you.
We offer a comprehensive range of modern orthodontic treatments, including:
Fixed braces – available in metal or tooth-coloured ceramic.
Lingual braces – fitted behind the teeth for a discreet appearance.
Invisalign® clear aligners – along with other clear aligner systems where appropriate.
Removable appliances – for selected treatments.
Functional appliances – to help guide jaw development in growing children.
Interceptive orthodontics – early treatment to encourage healthy dental development.
3M™ Digital Bonding – advanced technology for accurate bracket placement and efficient treatment.
We will explain every option clearly and help you choose the treatment that's right for your smile, with no pressure and no jargon.

Not only did Mr Hussain resolve these problems, using advanced technology combined with top notch dental skills in a calm and comfortable setting, but the entire team at the surgery are caring, friendly and charming.
The practice offers a comprehensive list of general, restorative and advanced dental services to meet the needs of entire families.
