Dr Patel has been kind and able to put the kids at ease, professional and a true expert and leader in his field. He always has time for you. Thank you Dr Patel, we are delighted to have found you and would recommend you to anyone who needs Orthodontic or TMJ treatment.”
“My daughter and son both have had treatments from Dr Patel and we highly recommend him. He pays attention to every little detail and is very thorough to help you achieve that smile you can be confident of. He doesn’t rush you and you feel at ease with his confidence and wealth of knowledge. Below is a testimony from my daughter”
“I have been having my treatment with Dr Patel for some while and I’m happy to say this treatment was a smooth and easy one for me. It gave me perfect results and a perfect smile.”
Thank you Dr Patel!
“Following a recommendation to Dr Patel, my son Harry (15) and I went to an initial consultation. We were both blown away with the many years of experience and dedication shining through and the time taken to assess, explain and work with Harry on the best treatment plan and brace options. Harry had crooked teeth and a challenging bite issue to resolve. The treatment took just under a year and Harry now has a confident smile and many compliments! I can’t Thank Dr Patel enough and we are very fortunate to have had such good care plus general teeth advice”
“Dr Patel has been looking after my daughter Shula’s teeth for many years now. Shula presented a complicated case for Dr Patel, but we couldn’t have wished for better treatment, help and advice over this period from Dr Patel and all his team at Gants Hill and now Buckhurst Hill. Dr Patel has always consulted and worked with Shula to ascertain what she was looking for from her dental work and I am always impressed by the precision of Dr Patel’s work. We are now entering a new phase of work where Shula finally gets the whiter teeth she has longed for. For me it is always a pleasure to visit the new surgery and sit in awe of the best hi-fi system I have ever experienced! Thanks to everyone at First Ortho for your work.”

Offering the latest in braces and aligners for effective, efficient treatments.
Easily accessible from Loughton, Chingford, Woodford & beyond – your local ortho experts.
Our dedicated team ensures a welcoming and supportive experience for every patient.
We understand that choosing an Orthodontist is a major decision, so we offer new patients a consultation to discuss what you are looking for, and how we could possibly help you.
Most orthodontic check-ups are scheduled every 6 weeks. This allows us to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure everything is on track.
We’re open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5pm. We’ll work with you to find appointment times that fit your schedule.
Some appointments may need to be during school hours, however, we try to accommodate your schedule as best we can.
Routine orthodontist appointments usually only take around 20 minutes each – with the long appointments taking place at the beginning and end of treatment
Call us right away. Even if it seems minor, it’s important to address any issues to avoid delays in treatment.
If anything comes loose from the brace, keep it in your plastic slip given to you at the start of treatment.
All repairs are free of charge!
Yes. Sticky, hard, or chewy foods should be avoided as they can damage braces. We’ll provide a comprehensive list of foods to avoid, to help you plan meals and snacks.
Brushing twice a day, using floss (thread or water), and regular dental check-ups are key.
We’ll also give your child tips and tools to make oral hygiene easier with braces.
Treatment time can vary – but on average, treatment at FIRST Ortho can be between 10-18 months.
You will typically see results very quickly! Some patients see their teeth straight within a visit or 2 – but it’s the finer details and finishing touches that takes some time
