Orthodontics is the specialised area of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws.

Braces are a safe and effective way to achieve a healthier, more balanced smile.

At Dental Studio Scotland, we offer a wide range of orthodontic options for both children and adults, including NHS treatments for eligible teens and flexible private care for all ages.

Private & NHS Braces in Scotland

NHS Braces

We provide NHS orthodontic care for eligible children nder the age of 17. NHS treatment is subject to clinical criteria (based on the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need or IOTN), which will be assessed during your first visit. If eligible, your child will receive full support and care at no cost.

Private Braces

For patients of all ages, including adults, private treatment gives you a wider choice of braces, shorter waiting times, flexible appointment scheduling, and premium aftercare. As a private patient, you’ll receive:

  • Access to cosmetic and discreet brace systems
  • Full two-year follow-up including retainers (fixed and removable)
  • Flexible finance options, including 0% interest over 12 months

Types of Orthodontic Treatments Available

At your free consultation, our Specialist Orthodontists will discuss your goals and guide you through the following options:

Fixed Metal Braces

A reliable and effective solution for patients who have straightforward needs or complex treatments. Small metal brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with a thin archwire, adjusted regularly to gently move teeth into place.

White / Tooth-Coloured Braces

These ceramic fixed braces blend with your natural teeth for a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Popular among adult patients seeking subtlety without compromising results.

Self-Ligating Braces (e.g., Damon®, Empower®)

A more modern upgrade to traditional fixed braces. These braces use built-in clips instead of elastic bands, offering quicker adjustments, greater comfort, and improved hygiene.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Nearly invisible and fully removable, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth. Perfect for mild to moderate alignment issues—without brackets or wires.

We offer the full Invisalign range:

  • Invisalign Full®
  • Invisalign Lite®
  • Invisalign i7®
  • Invisalign Teen®
  • Vivera Retainers®

Cfast® Braces

Cfast is a fast-acting cosmetic brace system that targets the front teeth, ideal for patients seeking noticeable results in just 4–6 months.

Quick Straight Teeth®

Designed to overcome common barriers to orthodontic treatment, QST offers an efficient and cost-effective solution using clear or tooth-coloured appliances.

Six Month Smiles®

This cosmetic brace option focuses on straightening the teeth that show when you smile, often within six months, using discreet clear brackets and wires.

Incognito® Lingual Braces

Placed behind your teeth, Incognito braces are virtually invisible. Fully customised and ideal for patients seeking a no-compromise, aesthetic solution.

What to Expect

Your First Visit

At your free, no-obligation consultation, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals, and walk you through all your treatment options and the length of treatment.

During Treatment

We’ll see you regularly for reviews and adjustments, ensuring your treatment is progressing as planned. Private patients can enjoy more flexible scheduling and shorter waiting lists.

After Treatment

You’ll receive full post-treatment care, including fixed and removable retainers tailored to your clinical needs, and up to two years of follow-up support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is orthodontic treatment only for children and teens?

Not at all. We treat many adult patients with both fixed and invisible brace options. It’s never too late to improve your smile.

Am I eligible for NHS braces?

If you’re under 17 and meet specific clinical criteria, you may qualify for NHS-funded treatment. We’ll assess this during your consultation.

How long does treatment usually take?

This varies based on your individual needs and the type of appliance used. Some cosmetic options (like Cfast or Six Month Smiles) can deliver results in 4–6 months, while more complex cases may take 12–24 months.

What if I want invisible braces?

We offer Invisalign®, white ceramic braces, and Incognito® lingual braces, all of which offer subtle or invisible straightening solutions.

What are the cost of braces?

With each patient being so different in treatment needs, we would need to arrange a consult to ensure we are providing an accurate price based on your needs.
