My crooked smile has disappeared and I am very happy to smile in the knowledge that I now have straight and gapless teeth. Sharon and her team have been wonderful


We offer a complete range of treatments:

Special braces to correct the shape of the jaws and correct
the bite to give a beautiful smile (orthopaedic/functional
braces - used in growing children)

Cosmetic fixed braces with clear brackets and white wires

Fixed braces (braces positioned on the teeth) including
silver, gold, and multi-coloured

Low friction fixed braces (such as Damon, Innovation and
Carriere) which can speed up some treatments

Completely invisible (lingual) braces – fitted to the inside
of the teeth. Our braces are bespoke (Incognito) to ensure
maximum comfort and precision
Invisible clear plastic aligners - Invisalign – to avoid fixed
braces completely

Orthognathic treatment – technically complex treatment for
those with the most complicated bites

Anti snoring treatment - gives a good night's sleep with
an anti snoring appliance.


I feel very important (valued) having all this attention/treatment. My family cannot believe what an improvement my treatment has made to my mouth and smile!



Real People - Real Smiles

As a maxillofacial surgeon I know how important it is to choose a good orthodontist. The high regard I have for Sharon’s practice is shown by my willingness to make a 150 mile trip for my daughter to be treated by her. The outcome has been excellent.Andrew Gibbons, dad of Emma - age 9
It is such a warm and friendly place. All the people make you really feel at home and always have warm smiles on their faces.Georgina Drummond – age 13 years, commutes from Bath for treatment
Professional advice and expertise enabled me to have complete confidence in the treatment carried out. I could not have wished for any better treatment.Sarah Cole, adult patient - age 34 commuted from Vienna, Austria.
We found Dr. Orton-Gibbs to be very understanding of our children, highly knowledgeable of her profession, and both reliable and accessible. Carol Shaw – mum of children age 7 and 11
Would I go through the treatment again with what I know and have experienced? Yes, without a moment’s hesitation. Would I recommend it to people of my age to do? I already have – expect the phone calls. Ben - age 41
Thank you so much for everything during my treatment. I don't think I would have had such a pleasing result if you had not been my orthodontist. I hope the practice continues to go from strength to strength. Many thanks once again for all your patience, and the great care and skill you have given me.Nadine – age 36
