Services
Herts Orthodontics was established in 2003. All our clinicians are fully UK qualified specialist orthodontists and registered as such with the General Dental Council (GDC). We all hold degrees in dentistry and have chosen to train as specialists in orthodontics, which we find to be a very rewarding profession because it combines our technical skills with aesthetics.
Completed his dental training at Guy's Hospital in 1993, and completed his specialist training in 2000. He is the principal specialist orthodontist at Herts Orthodontics, and also works as a hospital consultant in North West London. Shamique is treating a number of patients with lingual braces, having started using lingual appliances in 2003.
Jenny qualified as a dental nurse in 2012 and took over as our practice manager in 2016. Her organisational skills assist our team greatly in running the practice, and her understanding of nursing is of great benefit to the team. Grace has joined us having worked for over a decade in a specialist orthodontic practice in West London.
Rachel is well qualified to undertake her duties as our senior nurse. Nikki joined us in 2017, having previously worked in general dental practice for 3 years. She qualified as a dental nurse in 2015, and has gained experience in working with both general dental practitioners as well as implant and oral surgery specialists.
This type of brace is stuck onto the teeth during treatment. They are able to rotate teeth, move the roots of teeth and close spaces to achieve teeth straightening with a high degree of precision. It is possible for private patients to have tooth-coloured ceramic brackets fitted to improve the appearance of fixed braces.

With regard to the owner’s response to Lynda Every’s review and complaint about the excessive charging, I would like to add my own comment regarding the £85 charge I received for the replacement Invisalign retainer. This was not under the NHS - this was a private procedure. I had the full Invisalign treatment as a private patient at an Orthodontist in Stevenage. Many years later when I needed a replacement, due to dental work making the existing retainer unsuitable, I visited, as a private patient, a similar surgery in Hitchin. I was charged the initial consultation fee plus the £85 cost

My son needed a replacement Invisalign retainer. He was charged £40 consultation and £150 in total. He went to Herts orthodontics as he is an existing client, so there should be no requirement for the £40 consultation. My husband pays £85 in total for the same service at another orthodontist. That’s almost half the cost. I wish my son had told us before he paid. Their only response was that different practices charge different amounts. Disgusting overcharge.

I've been treated by Shamique twice, once as a teen for metal braces and recently, 12 years later, for Invisalign (not due to any fault of the first procedure, but the unfortunate arrival of wisdom teeth). Both experiences were excellent, proving the high standards have been consistent for over at least over a decade. Fully recommend these services.

This practice is extremely thoughtful, friendly and professional. The staff was always polite and helpful. Dr Ismail provided great explanations to the whole process and was very professional in his work. Thanks to him my smile is straight and perfect.
I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment!

I was delighted with the results of my treatment. It took about two years or so for my teeth to me straightened and they looked fantastic once the brace was removed. Shamique Ismail is a perfectionist and your teeth will be perfect with his help. He is very kind and gentle and explains exactly what he is doing so you know what to expect. I would definitely recommend him and the practice.

Our daughter has just completed her treatment with Mr Ismail. We could not be happier with the care we have received and the results of her treatment. Mr Ismail was very kind and patient and always kept us informed throughout. All of the clinical and reception staff were also very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The practice is very clean and comfortable and has a relaxed atmosphere. We would highly recommend Herts Orthodontics to anyone considering Orthodontic treatment.

Herts Orthodontics have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Both my sons under the care of Mr Ismail now have beautiful Hollywood smiles. The reception staff were always very understanding and accommodating with dates times of appointments etc, crucial for a busy working mum. Mr Ismail from start to finish listened attentively to my concerns even though he must have heard them a million times before. I have and will continue to recommend this practice for all Orthodontic needs. Thank you all very much.

The Receptionists are really attentive, polite, friendly with a warm and welcoming smile. The consultants are incredibly patient and knowledgeable and talk you through what they are doing and after they go through with you what the options are. Overall the Surgery is clean with informative messages on Leaflets, Walls or on a TV screen, they also play really good music too.
