Here’s what some of our Loughton orthodontic patients have to say about us.
Orthodontics is about so much more than a smile
Of course, a great smile is an invaluable asset, but orthodontics doesn’t stop there. There’s a lot more going on behind the scenes in this branch of dentistry.
Even if your misaligned teeth are at the back of your mouth and out of sight they still need to be corrected to help to preserve their structure and long-term health.
Misaligned, or maloccluded, teeth are often subject to unusual stress and wear patterns as they don’t fit together as they’re “designed” to when you chew. Eventually this abnormal stress can cause cracks, excessive wear and even breakages in the teeth.
Misaligned teeth can be harder to clean
If a misaligned tooth is recessed behind one or more of the adjacent teeth, it can be harder to reach with a toothbrush and dental floss. This can lead to staining, dental decay and even tooth loss.
Good dental hygiene is the start of your smile
Brushing our teeth twice a day is vital for a beautiful smile and FIRST Ortho is ready to help with anything that a new toothbrush and floss can’t deal with.
FIRST Ortho also offers cosmetic dental treatments.
Cosmetic bonding can add the finishing touch to your smile by filling in gaps or chips, as well as any discoloured areas. It’s also known as composite bonding and is less invasive than veneers or crowns as there’s no drills involved!
Many of our Loughton patients come to us for teeth whitening treatments and as long as the discolouration isn’t due to decay, we can gently lift your teeth by a few shades, which also lifts your confidence.

Yes, we’re at 102-104 Queen’s Road, Buckhurst Hill, Essex IG9 5BS. FIRST Ortho is a seven-minute walk from Buckhurst Hill Underground Station.
We’re also on local bus routes and we have on-road parking outside the practice.
We’re open from 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday so an afternoon appointment needn’t disrupt your child’s education.
If we’ve fitted your child with braces, their adjustment appointments are usually scheduled for every few weeks and don’t take long, leaving lots of time for learning!
FIRST Ortho welcomes nervous patients and we can honestly say that you’ll feel more like you’re at a spa than an orthodontist. Our relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff will keep you coming back for more.
Most children under the age of 18 qualify for free treatment under the National Health Service and we can also treat some adults under the NHS.
Yes, we offer virtual consultations. We’ll need photos of your teeth which clearly show gaps or misalignments so we can make an initial assessment before you come to see us in person.
