Our Practice
Orthodontics in London
At Bass Orthodontics London we specialise in Orthodontics and Dento-Facial Orthopaedics. We are a well established practice, over 25 years at Queen Anne Street, and amongst one of the first specialist Orthodontic practices in the West End. We aim to provide a professional yet relaxed atmosphere for all of our patients and their families. The practice utilises the latest and most advanced technology in Orthodontics, which not only enables us to carry out the very best and most comfortable treatment we can, but also allows for shorter treatment times.
Treatment Goals
One of the goals of our treatment will be to develop the best balance and harmony of the facial features in the region of the mouth and jaws and to provide an attractive smile. We consider this of primary importance. Other very important goals are to improve the long term health of the teeth, gums and mouth, and to provide the patient with the most satisfactory dental occlusion.
Dento-Facial Orthopaedics
In many cases, an unsatisfactory smile may be caused by not only the position of the teeth but the underlying bone structure in which the teeth are held. The term orthopaedics is often associated with the specialist medical practice of correcting bones; dento-facial orthopaedics specifically involves the bones of the teeth and face. Jaw growth is modified using unobtrusive and patient friendly appliances to improve the structural disharmony which often underlies the development of a malocclusion (irregular teeth). In the growing child, orthopaedics allows harmony to be restored to the unbalanced face and the most attractive smile to be developed. Occasionally surgery is required to correct the underlying bone structure of the jaws to provide the best result possible.
