Services
Braces
Our braces treatment focuses on improving facial aesthetics while straightening teeth. We use premium systems with optional coloured brackets for children, offering discreet options like Micro Mini braces for adults. Treatment includes comprehensive consultations, digital planning, and regular adjustments every 8 weeks to ensure optimal results.
Invisalign
Custom-designed Invisalign treatment plans use clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. We offer Invisalign First for children and advanced options for complex cases, including attachments and palatal expanders. Treatment includes personal consultations with Dr Stewart and interest-free payment plans.
Retainers
Custom retainers preserve your orthodontic results long-term. We provide both removable and permanent options, with full guidance on wear schedules. Retainers are included in treatment costs, and replacements are available at affordable fees without mandatory subscription plans.
Kids Under 10
Specialised orthodontic care for children under 10 focuses on jaw development to create space for adult teeth. We use Invisalign First and palatal expanders to address issues like protruding teeth and narrow arches, ensuring optimal facial growth and reducing future treatment needs.
Early Intervention
Our early intervention programs address orthodontic issues before they worsen. By analysing facial development and jaw positioning, we create treatment plans that guide proper tooth eruption, improve facial symmetry, and reduce the need for extractions in later years.

Dr Stewart and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about all of their patients.
