Results in 4 months with Invisalign

Daniel wanted straighter teeth but fixed braces weren't the best option for him. After a chat with Dr Stephen Ward he opted for Invisalign instead.

I wanted my teeth straightened but in a shorter time. Invisalign gave me the results I wanted in only 4 Months! Dr Stephen Ward was extremely helpful and understanding throughout the whole process.

Smile Makeover Testimonial

Victoria was unhappy with the gap in her teeth and thought they looked uneven. After a free Smile Makeover consultation with Dr Aran Maxwell-Cox she opted to have composite bonding.

I couldn't be happier with my composite resin treatment done by Aran. Not only is he friendly, welcoming and professional, he's also very particular about his work which is a blessing for a patient wanting a nice smile. The treatment is painless with no needles and you get the added bonus of a lovely smile afterwards. Thanks so much, for the first time I can smile without feeling self conscious. Highly recommend to anyone considering this treatment, you wont regret it! Also a big Thank You to Vikki who is Aran's Treatment Co-Ordinator. So helpful, welcoming and responsive to enquiries.

Complete Smile Makeover

Rebecca was conscious of her smile particularly the fact that her teeth were slightly smaller, her top lip slightly thinner and she felt there was more gum on show than she'd like. Dr Aran Maxwell-Cox used BTX Toxin to lower her top lip, Restylane Defyne dermal filler to add volume and composite to lengthen and whiten her teeth.

I honestly didn't even realise this was possible and now I couldn't be happier with the treatments I had done. From the initial conversation with Vikki, the Treatment Co-Ordinator, right through to the aftercare advice and the fact that it was much more affordable than I realised, I'm absolutely thrilled with the result. Dr Maxwell-Cox is so friendly and approachable, nothing is too much trouble for his patients and both him and his lovely nurse put me at ease from the very beginning. I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their smile.

Composite Bonding

Often patients don't necessarily want a 'Hollywood Smile' they just want to make natural looking improvements to the teeth they already have. Here Dr Stephen Ward has corrected a gap using Composite Bonding in less than an hour and the patient was thrilled with the result.

My experience with {my}dentist has been a very positive one since becoming a patient in 2017. I literally hated my smile. Over the years my teeth had become more crooked and the gap between my two front teeth was becoming wider and wider. It took {my}dentist Stephen approximately 45 minutes to fill the gap and make my teeth appear straight. I am so pleased with the result and absolutely love my new smile. Well Done!

Changing Smiles for Miles

Caitlyn had always been self-conscious of her teeth and was desperate to change her smile. Dr Aran Maxwell-Cox worked with Caitlyn to decide on a treatment plan that suited her.

When I was young I fell and cracked my tooth which led to me feeling very self-conscious about them. I was not happy with the shape or colour of my teeth. I heard about composite bonding by a friend and heard Aran was the best for the job. After only 3 appointments I have the teeth I have always dreamed of! Aran has been amazing and made me feel so comfortable. He made sure I was happy every step of the way! Thank you so much

White Filling

This patient cracked part of her tooth a few years ago and had it repaired on the NHS with amalgam. She thought it was noticeable when she was speaking and laughing and therefore had it replaced by Dr Claire Cairns.

I broke off part of my tooth a few years ago and although it was fixed very well, I thought the material used was really obviously seen, particularly when I laughed. Dr Claire Cairns replaced the filling for me with white material and now its virtually invisible. I absolutely love the result, Claire and her nurse were really lovely, the whole process was pain free and it was much less expensive than I thought it would be. I'm really happy with the result.

Who we are

{my}dentist is the UK’s largest network of dental practices across the UK. Every year, we see more than 4 million patients and help thousands of people achieve their dream smiles with our teeth straightening treatments.

Unlike some companies we have years of experience in teeth straightening

We believe that teeth straightening can only be safely carried out by qualified dentists. They are the only people who have the knowledge and skills to provide safe and predictable treatment. At {my}dentist we have the UK’s largest network of clinicians who will listen to your individual smile goals and deliver high quality, safe, convenient and affordable care.

We only work with dental clinicians

As well as our network of dentists we also have a UK-wide network of qualified orthodontists, should you need more complex treatment. While all of the dentists you will see are trained to provide teeth straightening with clear aligners, some patients might need to see a specialist orthodontist if their teeth are very crowded. Whatever your needs you can relax in the knowledge that we can help.

Clinically safe

All {my}dentist patients have their treatment overseen by a UK registered dentist. We will make sure that your teeth and overall oral health are in good shape before we start teeth straightening and check in with you regularly to make sure that the treatment is progressing as planned. That means you can rest assured that at the end of treatment your teeth will look and feel great. All of our practices are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the UK’s healthcare governing body, and are subject to the strictest clinical protocols.
