Orthodontic Treatments We Offer

Straightening your teeth does far more than improve appearance.

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, an overbite, or an underbite, orthodontic treatment can help.

At Kidsgrove Dental & Implant Centre, we offer a range of modern orthodontic appliances — from traditional metal braces to virtually invisible Invisalign aligners — tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

As a leading provider across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Kidsgrove, we have helped hundreds of patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles at affordable prices.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just cosmetic — properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease, and a corrected bite can relieve jaw pain and prevent long-term wear.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this practise enough, i had a fixed white braces for 10 months, the whole process was made super easy & completley painless. I always hated my teeth & always covered my mouth when i smiled & now my teeth are completley straight thanks to Dr Gary Wu, I think he must be a magician 😂 I told him this many times because it is simply unbelievable what he can do. Dr Wu happily explains the process in great detail & he's always happy to answer your questions. All the staff are super friendly & put you at ease straight away. There are no hidden costs. My only regret is that i didnt do it sooner. Thankyou so much Gary i will always be very grateful

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hygienist appointment with Faith, myself being very dentalphobic if there is such a word and having had poor treatment elsewhere. Faith, from the moment we met placed me at total ease, was patient throughout and though doing I believe a thorough job gave me plenty of time to rest mid-treatment so my jaws didn’t ache and become painful.  Return appointment in 6mths time already booked. Thank you 😁

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m absolutely blown away by my results! I had composite bonding by Dr Saad, and the end result completely exceeded my expectations - they are better than I ever imagined. From the first phone call to the moment I stepped into the practice, the staff were all so friendly, helpful and professional. Everything was explained to me really clearly throughout my treatment, which made the whole experience so easy. I chose Kidsgrove because of the great reviews, and they really do live up to them. Thanks so much for my beautiful new smile!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted an improved, natural smile without the artificial "Turkey teeth" look. After consultation on treatment options with Dr Saad Ahmad, I decided to opt for veneers. I am a nervous patient, but Dr Ahmad and the team went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable during my veneer treatment. I love my new teeth, I highly recommend Dr Saad Ahmad and Kidsgrove Dental & Implant Centre. Thank you Lisa

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?

If you have crooked teeth, crowding, bite issues, or gaps, you may benefit from orthodontics. A consultation with our team will confirm suitability and outline your options.

What is the best age to have orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out at any age. We treat teenagers and adults alike. Early intervention in children (around 12–14) is common, but many adults choose treatment later in life.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case and the appliance used. Simple cases may take 6 months; more complex cases can take up to 24 months.

Does wearing braces hurt?

There is usually some discomfort after fittings and adjustments as your teeth adjust. This is mild and typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually sufficient.

Can I eat normally with braces?

With fixed braces, you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are removed for eating, so there are no food restrictions.

Do I have to wear a retainer after treatment?

Yes. Retainers are essential to maintain your results. They are included in your treatment package and must be worn as instructed — initially full-time, then nights only for the long term.

Is orthodontic treatment available on the NHS?

NHS orthodontic treatment is available for children under 18 who meet clinical need criteria. Adult NHS orthodontics is very limited. We offer affordable private treatment with flexible payment plans.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

Prices start from £1,800 for a single arch of metal braces. Invisalign starts from £2,800 per arch. A full breakdown is provided at your consultation. Finance options with 0% APR are available.

Can Invisalign treat complex cases?

Invisalign is highly effective for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. For more complex cases, traditional braces may be more appropriate. Our team will advise which is best for you.

What happens if I lose or break my retainer?

Contact us as soon as possible. Retainers can be replaced — we keep your records on file. Avoid leaving your teeth without a retainer for extended periods to prevent movement.
