Orthodontics

What we do

The Orthodontic Department manages problems of development of the teeth and jaws, with particular focus on severe and complex problems. These are most commonly corrected through the use of braces, often in association with oral surgery, to correct abnormalities of tooth or jaw position or with other dental/medical specialities for specific problems.

Our department is the only consultant-led orthodontic team in the Arden (Coventry and Warwickshire) area. We therefore receive high volumes of complex orthodontic cases of the types listed above. We have strong links to other regional District General Hospitals, and to the main teaching hospitals in Birmingham including the Birmingham Dental Hospital.

Our team engages regularly in audit and research at both local and national level, and the clinical team participates in the West Midlands Consultant Orthodontist Group and the Arden Managed Clinical Network in Orthodontics.
