Northwood Orthodontics, London… focusing on the person behind the smile.

Removable braces

For the daring, removable braces can be made in a range of different colours.

These can perform simple tooth movements and can be used either alone or to simplify the subsequent fixed brace treatment. Generally, they consist of an acrylic plate with delicate wires, screws or springs attached to move the teeth. Most removable braces require full-time wear with removal for tooth brushing and sports only.

At Northwood Orthodontics patients can choose a variety of different colours for their removable, should they wish to stand out from the crowd!

Functional appliances

Functional appliances are removable braces which act both to correct the position of the teeth and to harness the growth of the jaws in order to improve the relationship between the upper and lower teeth.  They most often consist of an upper and lower paired set of removable braces, which require full-time wear with the exception of cleaning, sports and eating.  Occasionally they are used as stand-alone treatments, but are more commonly used prior to fixed braces.

At the end of treatment, most patients benefit from an improvement in their profile as well as an improved relationship between the top and bottom teeth.

Ceramic fixed braces

Ceramic brackets greatly improve the aesthetics where fixed braces are required.
Ceramic brackets greatly improve the aesthetics where fixed braces are required.

Ceramic braces are a great alternative to traditional metal fixed braces. They are less noticeable than their metal counter-parts as the squares bonded onto the teeth are made of a tooth-coloured ceramic material.

They are a popular choice for both adults and children alike.

Here at Northwood Orthodontics we also offer an aesthetic wire which blends in with the ceramic brackets.

Self-ligating braces

Damon® braces allow teeth to slide more easily reducing treatment time and discomfort.

These are innovative fixed braces designed to reduce the amount of friction encountered by teeth during movement.  This allows teeth to move more freely and, as a result, reduces discomfort and treatment time.

Invisalign

A great alternative for those who want straight teeth without braces.
A great alternative for those who want straight teeth without braces.

Invisalign is a world renowned orthodontic system famous for its aesthetics and flexibility.

Invisalign utilizes a series of clear removable aligners, manufactured specifically for each individual, to correct tooth position without the use of brackets. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks, being removed for eating and cleaning.

More recently, Invisalign have introduced a product especially for teenagers. Invisalign Teen uses the same technology used to manufacture adult aligners, but takes into account the dental changes that occur during this period.

They are virtually invisible, as the name suggests, and are a fantastic alternative to fixed braces for both adults and teenagers. However, they cannot be used to treat all cases.

Should you be interested, the orthodontist will discuss your suitability for Invisalign at your consultation.

Lingual braces

Lingual braces are fast becoming on of the most popular methods of achieving a beautiful smile.  These are braces which are fixed to the inner surfaces of the teeth towards the tongue.  They are completely invisible from the outside and can be used to treat even complex cases.  Adults and children can benefit from this type of treatment provided most of the adult teeth are present and the teeth, gums and bones healthy.  Some initial irritation of the tongue and speech impairment should be expected, but this settles down quickly.

At Northwood Orthodontics we use several lingual systems of which Incognito is one.

“I had an orthodontic treatment that lasted 2 years and the result was just perfect.
All the staff members there was really friendly and professional , from the receptionist to the orthodontist, thank you Saba”

SB aged 31

“Saba is fantastic!

My teeth had gradually moved over the last 45 years to the point that my bottom teeth where lined up like dominos.

Saba has straightened my teeth over several months using braces and I now have a perfect smile. 🙂

I can not recommend enough. I have a general fear of dentists so tend to avoid going.
Saba has been professional, kept me fully informed during the process outlining what she stage I was at and what to expect in advance.

A great team”

RE aged 43

“Just had my braces off and I can’t stop smiling!! I had wanted to get a brace as an adult for years as my front teeth were crossed and all my teeth too close together. Not only did I just hate smiling but my teeth would bleed as I couldn’t clean them properly. Now I have perfectly straight teeth and they don’t bleed anymore.

Saba was fantastic. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Keeping me informed though out the process. My braces never broke as my friends did from another practice. V the dental nurse is absolutely lovely and made sure I was looked after.

Thank you both for my amazing smile!”

AM aged 31

“I would highly recommend Northwood Orthodontics for anyone needing orthodontic treatment. Saba is always friendly and has provided me with great advice and orthodontic care over the past few years. I was reluctant get a fixed brace on my top teeth, so Saba advised that I could go for a lingual brace instead which is fantastic – you can’t even tell that I have braces at all!”

VS aged 32
Female

“I had been concerned about one of my upper front teeth for some time as it seemed to be moving out of alignment and starting to protrude. I have my regular check-ups at Dental Design Studio and my dentist suggested that I see Saba. She explained the various options & recommended that I have both my upper and lower teeth straightened. I chose to have lingual braces as I didn’t like the idea of visible braces (being a lady in my 50s). Throughout my treatment Saba was incredibly professional, supportive, reassuring and friendly. The braces were taken out after 9 months and I was, and still am, delighted with the result – lovely straight teeth. I would highly recommend Saba to anyone considering Orthodontic work.”

RB aged 53

“We are delighted with the orthodontic treatment our son has received from Saba. She has demonstrated a very patience and professional approach at each appointment. Throughout the treatment, Saba has been very helpful and explained each stage clearly. Saba has ensured that the treatment is tailored to our son’s particular needs and has taken the time to ensure that his brace is working in an efficient manner. We are so pleased with Saba’s work that another member of our family is planning to start treatment with her in the near future.”

“Dr Qureshi is an exceptionally talented orthodontist. I had put off sorting out my crooked teeth for many many years and as an adult patient, Dr Qureshi’s care and attention as been outstanding! I wish I had come to her years ago! Her bedside manner is brilliant and she makes you feel very much at ease. Together with her being so super efficient, the fourteen month of wearing braces just flew by!
I can’t thank her enough! I look forward to doing a lot more smiling than I ever did!”

“I would highly recommend Dr Qureshi. She dedicated time to ensure I was fully informed of the treatment process at each stage. I’d had significant orthodontic treatment prior to seeing Dr Qureshi and fully trusted in her professionalism and expertise.”

NP aged 33
Female

“I fitted my braces on back in my home country Georgia and a few months later moved to the UK. I was searching for a very long time for a professional orthodontist and clinic whom I could trust. I’ve called almost 70 places in London but all of them were offering debonding the existing braces and to fit the new ones on and only in this case they could accept me.
One day I found Dr Saba on Instagram and asked about my case and if she could accept me. And Luckily I found her, a real professional doctor with brilliant experience and knowledge. She and her team are very helpful with any details or questions you might have. The Dental Design Studio is a place where you can feel comfortable and safe and that your health is in reliable people’s hands.
Dr Saba is a very good communicator, organized and very empathetic. She makes you feel cared for as a patient. I couldn’t wish to find a better place. Also want to mention that the prices there are very affordable compared to the prices in London in general. I would highly recommend Dr Saba and her team.
I am sure if anyone decides to go there will be as satisfied with the result as I am.
At first glance braces, the journey might look scary and painful but with Dr Saba and her team, you will enjoy the whole process.”

“I couldn’t recommend Northwood Orthodontics enough! Had a great experience with my Invisalign treatment and Dr Quershi was amazing. She took great care of my teeth and was always available whenever I had any queries. I am very satisfied with the outcome and I love the way my smile looks like now!”

AJ aged 18

“My 7 year old daughter has sucked her fingers since birth. We were advised it was seriously effecting her jaw and her teeth and also effecting her concentration and learning as she zoned out when sucking. We had tried everything, encouragement, rewards, thumsies, bad tasting solutions on her fingers, plasters on her fingers, nothing worked. We researched braces to stop children sucking and although it seemed quite a drastic solution we didn’t know what else to do. We saw Northwood Orthodontics offered these. Right from the start Dr Qureshi was friendly, professional and put my daughter at ease! She explained the process really clearly and was patient and gentle. The process to be measured for the braces was simple and painless. I was worried my daughter would find it distressing and uncomfortable but she was completely fine. The fitting was straightforward. My daughter stopped sucking immediately and did not find eating or speaking or anything difficult. She has now completely stopped sucking and her concentration has greatly improved. I cannot Northwood Orthodontics enough!! The staff are all absolutely lovely and the service is outstanding.”

Happy mum of LB aged 7
Female

“Recently had the pleasure of having my braces done by Dr Saba. It was an emotional journey as I also suffered with a bad bite and had developed a lump in my head due to the way my teeth were sitting.
I researched a lot of orthodontists and came across Dr Saba and I am so pleased I did.
After 15 months my teeth are all straight and my lump has disappeared.
The whole process was painless and working with Dr Saba was a joy. She explained everything along the way and put me at ease. I would highly recommend to anyone.
I have now booked my 13 year old son in for his and would not even consider going anywhere else.
Thank you for everything Dr Saba”

EN aged 37

“Dr Saba is my chosen Orthodontist for both my kids. With one just finished and one still undergoing treatment, I have found her to be professional yet friendly, and relates my teens really well. She is efficient and available, which was so appreciated – especially over the last year while my son was going through his final year of GCSEs. I would not hesitate to use Saba for my own treatment and would definitely recommend her services!”

I am so happy with my straight teeth now, and cannot believe I didn’t get them straightened sooner. I am smiling all of the time now, and my confidence has been boosted by 100%. I couldn’t ask for a better Orthodontist!
