Many people have crooked and/or over-crowded teeth, which can affect the way they look and the way their teeth bite together. It can also make it more difficult to keep them clean, which can put them at greater risk of tooth decay or gum disease. Research clearly shows that straightening people’s teeth improves their self-confidence socially and at work. They are also judged by other people to be more attractive and successful.
The use of the latest advanced procedures means we complete treatment for 90% of patients within 16 months, and usually only need to see patients once every ten weeks, which makes treatment with us far more convenient. Our team takes a personal interest in all our patients and takes the time to build a strong working relationship with them. These factors, combined with our commitment to quality,
mean that you are ensured of the best possible orthodontic care.
OUR TREATMENTS:
At Clifton Orthodontics we believe it is important to offer a full range of appliances without bias. At your consultation, we will discuss which are most suitable for you, your teeth, your lifestyle, and your budget, so you can make an informed choice.
Incognito INVISIBLE BRACES:
The preferred option for many of our adult patients, especially those who would prefer a more discreet orthodontic appliance.
Custom-made of gold, and fixed to the back of your teeth so they are invisible. Also less likely to lead to damage to teeth from decalcification and decay. Easily tolerated and very effective.
Invisalign®
A system of removable and virtually invisible clear aligners that gently move and straighten your teeth. They fit around your teeth, using no metal at all, and are removed to eat and clean your teeth. Clifton Orthodontics is one of the Invisalign® Invisible Braces Specialists in the Bristol area.
Tooth-coloured and metal braces, while not having the same aesthetic advantages as invisible ones, these braces are nonetheless very effective. Tiny blocks are fitted to the front of your teeth with a wire running between them. Standard braces use metal blocks, although we also offer tooth-coloured blocks which make the braces less visible.

The iTero Element Scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our iTero Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty-based impressions, but it’s faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.

During the impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would. You can even pause during the process if you need to sneeze or just want to ask a question. The scanner gives us a 3D model of your mouth that can be used for your dental services including the Invisalign Outcome Simulator to show you what your new smile might look like.
