Yes, Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley treats adult patients of all ages. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment — healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Popular adult options include ceramic braces (less visible), lingual braces (behind the teeth), and Invisalign (clear aligners). Adult treatment may take slightly longer than for younger patients. NHS orthodontics is generally only available for under-18s; adults would need private treatment.
Yes, retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment to prevent teeth from moving back to their original positions. Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley provides both fixed retainers (a thin wire bonded behind your front teeth, worn permanently) and removable retainers (clear plastic trays or Hawley retainers, worn nightly). You will need to wear removable retainers every night for at least the first year, then nightly or as directed long-term. Retention is a lifelong commitment — without retainers, teeth will gradually shift.
Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley can assess and treat many jaw alignment issues including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Treatment may involve braces alone, functional appliances (in growing children) to modify jaw growth, or a combination of orthodontics and jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) for severe skeletal discrepancies in adults. Your orthodontist will explain the options after a thorough assessment.
Yes, Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley offers Invisalign clear aligners as a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable, virtually invisible aligners that gradually move your teeth. Advantages include near-invisibility, removability for eating and brushing, fewer clinic visits, and no food restrictions. Invisalign is suitable for many orthodontic cases including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Your orthodontist at Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley will assess your suitability at a consultation.
Keeping teeth clean with fixed braces requires extra effort. Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley recommends brushing after every meal using a small-headed soft toothbrush (electric recommended), using interdental brushes to clean around brackets and wires, flossing daily (floss threaders or Superfloss make this easier with braces), using fluoride mouthwash daily, and attending regular dental check-ups and hygienist appointments. Poor cleaning during orthodontic treatment can lead to white spot lesions (permanent marks) on teeth.
Your general dentist can refer you to Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley for orthodontic assessment.

Orthodontic treatment at Beverley Orthodontic Centre Beverley is not painful, but you will experience some discomfort. After braces are fitted or adjusted, teeth typically feel sore and tender for 3-5 days. Over-the-counter painkillers (ibuprofen or paracetamol) and a soft diet help during this period. Orthodontic wax can relieve irritation from brackets rubbing against cheeks. With clear aligners, mild pressure is felt when switching to a new set. The discomfort is temporary and a sign that teeth are moving as planned.
