Our Prize-Winning Website

You are now visiting our award-winning website! In 2007 we were awarded Best New Specialist Website in the Dentistry.co.uk website awards. Thanks must go to the team at The Small Agency who put it all together.

Since the awards we have continued to keep the website up-to-date and have now added a short video (on the home-page) and a blog. You can also make an enquiry direct via the form on the "Contact Us" page, or email us in the normal way.

Wetherby Orthodontics was also shortlisted for Best Specialist Practice in the 2007 Private Dentistry Awards, and Best Practice (North-East) in the 2008 Dentistry Awards.

We will be making a few small changes over the next few months, mainly to the home page. Have a look around the site and if there is anything you would like to see please let us know.

Wetherby Orthodontics

Wetherby Orthodontics is located in Wetherby, North Yorkshire, conveniently serving Wetherby and the surrounding areas including Harrogate, York and Leeds. Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that covers the growth and development of the jaws and teeth, as well as correction of any problems, predominantly teeth straightening. Orthodontic treatment usually involves using various types of braces to correct tooth position to straighten teeth or modify jaw growth. We can show you various types of braces including fixed braces, functional braces and removable braces. We also cater for patients looking for clear and invisible braces such as lingual braces and Invisalign aligners. We will advise you step by step on all you need to know about getting braces and offer advice for the best braces for adults as well as the most suitable orthodontic treatment for children.

Getting Braces

Getting braces is a big decision and it’s important that you understand what is involved and are comfortable with the orthodontic treatment you are prescribed. We will listen to and try to cater for your individual needs. If you are concerned about your appearance, apprehensive about discomfort or worried about costs, do mention during your consultation, as these can be taken into account and together we can plan the best treatment to suit your orthodontic and lifestyle needs.

Orthodontic Treatments

General dental work may be required before any orthodontic treatment to ensure you are dentally fit. For younger patients we often (but not always) advise waiting until the adult teeth are through before carrying out orthodontic treatment. We are more than happy carry out initial examinations when patients still have a mixture of adult and baby teeth, as sometimes this can help to plan for future orthodontic treatment.
