At 13, James came to us looking to improve his smile. Although he was a confident young man, his upper teeth protruded forward, and he wanted a solution to enhance his appearance.

James had minimal crowding, so we didn’t need much space to straighten his teeth. However, his lower facial height was slightly reduced, and his jawline was set back. To address these concerns, we created a personalised two-phase treatment plan. The first phase used a functional brace to adjust his jaw position and improve the fit of his teeth

This was followed by a short fixed brace stage, allowing us to complete his treatment in just 10 months with only six visits.

Functional braces, designed to align the jaws, are highly effective when timed with the teenage growth phase. By tailoring James’s treatment to his growth stage, we achieved a harmonious smile and jaw alignment without removing any teeth.

It is a very positive outlook for adult males to step forward to undertake orthodontics.

Here we have James in his early 30’s opting to correcting his teeth which always bothered him.

The result exceeded his expectations, and mine, as I did not except the open bite to close so well.

Best of all, made his oral health easier to maintain to a high standard.

Most Memorable moment/s: James’s video testimonial.

    Transformative Smiles: Natalie’s Journey to a “Million Dollar” Smile with Damon Ultima

    During her consultation, Natalie expressed her wish for straighter lower teeth. Our treatment plan with Damon Ultima braces aimed at enhancing her arch shape without any tooth extraction, reflecting our commitment to preserving natural beauty.

    Initially, Natalie didn’t expect such a significant transformation. However, within just nine months, she achieved what she joyfully describes as a “million-dollar smile” for £4,500. Her results were highlighted in her glowing testimonial..

    In addition to the Damon Ultima treatment, Natalie wanted less ’embrasure’ spaces to show. We offered an affordable edge bonding solution for just under £250, far below the typical quote of £4,400 for similar enhancements on eight teeth quoted elsewhere. This approach allowed us to refine her smile further without significant additional costs. More importantly this was a good looking result showing off the natural beauty of her teeth rather than composite veneers – which ultimately will require renewal and additional expense.

    A beautiful, confident smile might be closer and more affordable than you think! Explore the possibilities of a transformative smile at FIRST Ortho with an initial consultation.

      Treatment Time: 23 Months
      Brace: Damon

      At just 11 years old, Aisling visited us at FIRST Ortho. Although her teeth were still developing and she wasn’t ready for orthodontics, the care she received left a lasting impression. After 20 years, she reflects on her experience in the testimonial below.

      By the time Aisling was nearly 17 and ready for treatment, her main concerns were crowding of her teeth, her small jaw line and a very narrow lower arch. We created a personalised two-stage treatment plan for her: the first stage focused on aligning her bite with a functional approach, followed by a fixed brace stage. Avoiding extractions was a top priority in view of her delicate jawline and thin gums. We advised the Damon MX brace, a system designed to work gently yet effectively.

      We delayed extractions for as long as possible, using Damon braces to develop her lower arch naturally – hence the slightly longer treatment time of 23 months. Ultimately, we had to extract a single tooth – a rare extraction pattern. Without this step, achieving her ideal smile would have required extracting four teeth, which would have flattened her facial profile and narrowed her smile line.

      ‘At FIRST Ortho, we understand that for complex cases the importance of detailed planning. This includes what I call preplanned ‘EXIT’. This is watching for the right time to change to avoid pushing outside biological limits. This approach allows us to handle complex cases that meets aesthetic beauty, mathematical precision and biological compatibility. This allows delivering excellent, stable results tailored to each patient’s individual needs.’ Dr Patel.

      For clarity ‘Have an Exit’ was a term I heard from my friend and mentor Ken Paine, an artist. At the time, I did not understand what he meant. In time, I did.
