Services
Our practice is situated in the heart of Epping, Essex. We specialise in orthodontics and are a well-established practice, we first opened our doors in 1992. We aim to provide a professional yet relaxed atmosphere for all of our patients and their families. Our primary aim is to achieve the most attractive smile which suits your face.
The ideal time to be referred by your family dentist is when all of the deciduous teeth have been lost and their permanent replacements have come through, which is commonly between 11 and 14 years of age. If your dentist is concerned about any specific problem before this stage, you will be advised accordingly.
Our practice has a contract with NHS England - East of England Primary Care and where possible we offer a full range of NHS orthodontic treatments for patients up to age 18, who are eligible under the criteria. We are proud to say that we don't have a long waiting list to start NHS treatment and it is therefore not necessary to be referred early to access the system.
At The Specialist Orthodontic Clinic, we can use Invisalign to treat a variety of mild orthodontic problems including teeth which are crooked, crowded or have gaps. Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners, which are periodically changed. Because it is clear, removable and comfortable, it won't interfere with your life.
Lingual orthodontics refers to the correction of crooked teeth by means of fixed braces bonded to the inner side of the teeth. So correct tooth positioning can be achieved without the braces being seen. There is no age limit for lingual braces, provided the teeth are still relatively firmly fixed in the bone.

My daughter Jasmine had her orthodontic treatment here, and it was such a positive process for both her and myself.
All the staff, from the reception staff, administrative staff, dental nurses and her orthodontist all contributed to a great experience provided by them all. Everyone here is friendly, helpful and professional in the service they deliver.
Jasmine’s orthodontist was Neil Patel, he is just amazing!
Neil’s approach was extremely caring, kind and professional - Jasmine always had praise for him after every appointment attended.
My daughter now has the most beautiful smile thanks

It has been 6 years since I got braces here. My orthodontist was Colin and he is an incredibly talented dentist. I am so happy with my teeth which haven’t moved since I had braces. I have a permanent retainer which Colin put in and every dentist I have seen since have commented on how well the retainer has been put in. Overall, I’ve had a wonderful experience at this Orthodontic Practice. It has very friendly and helpful staff. Myself and 3 of my siblings have had braces here and we all have superb smiles (I’m not biased ;)). I hope your experience will be as good as mine!

After receiving really poor treatment and service from another orthodontist we were re-referred here and we can not recommend this place highly enough!! Natalie has been incredible we can't thank you enough for everything you've done for our daughter. Initially told approximately 18 months from start to finish for treatment and a year and 1 week to date her braces are coming off tomorrow due the amazing treatment she has received. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Natalie is highly professional, friendly, thorough and is very talented at the service she provides. Would highly recommend this orthodontist

I came to the practise to get a consultation for straightening my teeth. Neil was exceptional; he made me feel so relaxed, talked me through options and process thoroughly until we decided the route that best suits my lifestyle. I'm now very excited to start my treatment and know I'm in great hands. Could not recommend enough!!

Everyone at the practice has been really helpful and Neil and his assistant have always provided me with the best care. Getting orthodontic treatment as an adult is always a difficult decision to make and it takes patience, but it was well worth it in the end and Neil did a great job. I can now confidently smile!

I have just completed a 19 month stint of fixed braces at the Specialist Orthodontic Practice and am thrilled with my results. From my first consultation to the final appointment to remove my braces, I was warmly welcomed to the practice every time I walked through the door. My orthodontist Neil was one of the most skilled and genuinely lovely healthcare professionals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I used to look forward to my appointments! Whoever knew that having fixed braces in your late 30s would be so much fun?! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Specialist Orthodontic Practice
