About Shankill Orthodontic Practice
Shankill Orthodontic Practice is led by a Registered Specialist in Orthodontic Treatment with specialist training undertaken from 2010–2013. The practice offers comprehensive orthodontic care for children and adults, with a focus on creating healthy, confident smiles.
Treatment options include fixed braces, which use metal wires and brackets to straighten teeth, and interceptive orthodontics for young patients to correct crossbites and maintain space for erupting teeth. Removable appliances such as the Twin Block are frequently used to reduce the prominence of upper teeth during the growth phase. Following active treatment, clear retainers are provided to maintain results, typically worn every night for a year.
The practice also provides custom mouthguards and splints for sports protection, available in a range of colours. Whether you're seeking early intervention for your child or comprehensive orthodontic treatment as an adult, Shankill Orthodontic Practice delivers specialist care tailored to your needs.
