Orthodontics In The UK
The British Orthodontic Society is a good example of dedicated bodies taking orthodontics forward in the UK, by promoting research, education and professional standards.
Dental study levels help their cause, with training available at centres of excellence, such as Queen’s University Belfast, or the Eastman Dental Institute, University College London.
Orthodontic care in Britain has long been led by advancement of knowledge, with internationally recognised text books published two centuries ago, although continually evolving treatment is the key.
Patient Centred Care
There are few procedures as personal as orthodontics, our facial appearance changes, the way we react to others, or are seen by them.
Global solutions such as Invisalign, or Incognito can be the best way to bring individual results but where tailor made options would be better for a patient, they are available.
The reason UK orthodontists are at the forefront of research is to provide the best outcome for patients. Gaining evidence on established, or contemporary treatment techniques ensures they are chosen to suit.
Patients can also be assured that any treatment they receive is provided with safety in mind and to an appropriate standard.


Professional Supervision
The facilities you enter and the way treatment is delivered are monitored by national and professional bodies, so patients can trust UK orthodontic care.
- Care Quality Commission — on-site and ongoing performance assessments help ensure quality of care.
- General Dental Council — practitioners must be registered; the online register shows specialist orthodontists.
- Royal College of Surgeons and similar bodies — further guidance on ethics and surgical standards.
- Specialty groups — from shared research to niche support such as lingual orthodontics.
Care is well proven and well monitored in a UK orthodontic facility. Read more about our medical regulators.
