Orthodontic Treatments in London
From children to adults — expert, personalised orthodontic care with Spark Aligners at Behrens Dental Practice, South Kensington.
Informed Decisions, Beautiful Results
Deciding on orthodontic treatment is a significant step — whether it's for your child, a teenager, or yourself. You're not just looking for a straighter smile; you want a solution that fits your lifestyle and is delivered by a team you can trust.
We believe the most confident decisions are informed ones. Our approach goes beyond the surface, helping you understand the nuances of modern orthodontic care for every member of the family.
Our practice is led by Dr. Erika Ruiz-Mealin, Dr. Lior Burg — a specialist in Spark Aligners — and Dr. Georgios Kolaitis, ensuring every patient receives a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan designed for long-term health and stability.
Orthodontics for Every Generation
The reasons for seeking treatment change throughout our lives — what works for a growing child differs from what a busy professional needs.
Children's Orthodontics
Early evaluation creates the best foundation for a lifetime of oral health. Identifying issues like crowding or crossbites between ages 7 and 10 lets us intervene simply — guiding jaw growth and making room for permanent teeth.
Teen Orthodontics
Solutions that fit seamlessly into active teenage lives — modern, discreet clear aligners. Digital smile simulations help teens engage with the process and see the rewarding results ahead.
Adult Orthodontics
Over 76% of UK orthodontists report a rise in adult patients. We specialise in discreet solutions like Invisalign and Spark Aligners that fit a professional lifestyle — straightening your teeth without broadcasting it to the world.
Beyond Aesthetics
While a beautiful smile is a wonderful outcome, orthodontic treatment is fundamentally about health. It corrects malocclusion — the misalignment of teeth and jaws — which can cause significant functional problems if left untreated. Clinicians use the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) to determine when treatment is medically necessary, covering conditions that affect your ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral hygiene:
Precision at Every Stage
Modern orthodontics is driven by technology that makes treatment faster, more predictable, and far more comfortable. We use digital scanning to create precise 3D models of your teeth — eliminating the need for messy impressions.
This data fuels AI-driven software that lets us plan every tooth movement with incredible accuracy. With Invisalign and Spark Aligners, we design a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners that gently shift your teeth into place — often with fewer appointments and a clearer timeline from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my treatment take?
Treatment times vary, but most comprehensive cases range from 6 to 24 months. Simpler cases — especially for adults focused on minor corrections — can be completed in as little as six months. We'll provide a clear timeline at your consultation.
What is life with braces or aligners like?
Adapting takes a short period. You'll learn new cleaning habits and may make minor dietary changes with fixed braces. Clear aligners are removable, making eating and cleaning much simpler — and we offer extensive support to make the adjustment smooth.
Is adult treatment different from children's?
Adult bones are no longer growing, which can limit certain corrections that rely on jaw growth, and adults may have other considerations like existing crowns or gum health that we integrate into the plan. But the fundamental principles are the same, and results can be just as transformative.
