Find an Orthodontist

Use the practice register above to browse orthodontic practices by location, or use the 'Browse by location' shortcuts to jump straight to your area. Each listing shows the practice name, city, and postcode, and links through to a full profile with contact details and treatment information. If you would rather skip searching altogether, a free photo-based assessment can indicate suitable treatment options before you contact a practice.

An NHS orthodontist provides treatment funded by the NHS, but this is restricted to patients — mostly under 18 — who meet a clinical need threshold (IOTN score). A private orthodontist treats any patient who chooses to pay for care directly, with no eligibility criteria and typically much shorter waiting times. Many practices in our register offer both NHS and private orthodontic treatment, so check each profile for details.

Practice information is compiled from official public sources, including CQC records and practice websites, and is kept as up to date as possible. Listings are informational rather than clinical endorsements, so always confirm current availability, fees, and treatment suitability directly with the practice before booking.

Yes. Each practice profile in the register includes location, available treatments, and contact details, so you can compare several options before committing to a consultation. For a faster starting point, a free remote photo assessment can indicate which treatment types are likely to suit your case, helping you ask more targeted questions when you do contact a practice.

Most orthodontic practices offer a range of appliance types, including fixed metal or ceramic braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign, but the exact range varies by practice. Check the treatments listed on each practice profile, or ask directly when you make contact, to confirm which options are available near you.

Yes, browsing the practice register and viewing profiles is completely free, with no account or sign-up required. There is also no obligation to book with any listed practice — the register is provided as an independent directory to help you compare options in your area.

Useful questions include whether you are eligible for NHS treatment, the total private cost including retainers, whether the practice offers payment plans, how many years of experience the treating clinician has with your type of case, and what happens if treatment takes longer than expected. Comparing answers across two or three practices helps you make a more informed decision.
