About Petts Wood Orthodontics
Petts Wood Orthodontics is a specialist orthodontic practice offering a comprehensive range of brace treatments to suit different needs and preferences. Fixed braces are their most popular treatment, designed to deliver reliable results. For those seeking a less visible option, the practice provides Invisalign, the popular invisible brace system that has been used to improve millions of smiles worldwide, alongside specialist clear aligners and lingual braces, which are hidden discreetly behind your teeth.
The practice uses high-quality materials including American Orthodontics' Radiance-Plus brackets, among the clearest available. All treatment plans include the provision of clear removable retainers to help maintain your results long-term. NHS-funded orthodontic treatment is currently available to under-18s who need braces, making professional care accessible to younger patients.
Led by GDC-registered orthodontists, Petts Wood Orthodontics combines clinical expertise with a patient-focused approach. Whether you're looking for traditional fixed braces, invisible aligners, or hidden lingual options, the practice tailors treatment to your individual requirements and lifestyle.
