Straighter teeth, delivered with care. Whether you are considering treatment for yourself, your teenager, or your child, our specialist orthodontist is here to guide you every step of the way.
Our Orthodontic treatment is delivered by Dr Lesley St Rose. We understand that the decision to straighten your teeth is personal, and often comes with questions and perhaps a little apprehension. That is exactly why we take the time to listen, explain, and create a treatment plan that works for your life.
Orthodontics is about more than aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reduce the risk of decay and gum disease, and can even improve how you bite and chew. For many of our patients, the confidence that comes with a straighter smile is life changing.
When other Isle of Man dentists need specialist orthodontic expertise, they refer their patients to us. That trust from our peers speaks to the quality of care you can expect when you walk through our doors.
Every smile is different, which is why we offer a range of orthodontic solutions. During your consultation, Lesley will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the approach that will deliver the best results for you.
Fixed braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct complex orthodontic issues. Using brackets and wires, they apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their ideal positions. Modern fixed braces are more comfortable and less visible than ever before.
Early assessment can make a significant difference. The British Orthodontic Society recommends children have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven, when the first permanent molars and incisors have usually emerged. At this stage, we can identify developing issues and, in some cases, intervene early to guide jaw growth and tooth eruption.
Not every child will need early treatment. Often, we will monitor development and recommend the optimal time to begin, usually when most permanent teeth have arrived. Starting at the right moment means more efficient treatment and better outcomes.
What to look for: Early or late loss of baby teeth, difficulty chewing, mouth breathing, crowded or misplaced teeth, or jaws that shift when opening or closing.
The teenage years are often the ideal time for orthodontic treatment. With most permanent teeth in place and the jaw still developing, we can achieve excellent results efficiently. We know that appearance matters to teenagers, which is why we offer options ranging from traditional braces to clear aligners.
Our team takes the time to involve teenagers in their treatment decisions, explaining the process and setting realistic expectations. When young patients understand and engage with their treatment, outcomes are consistently better.
There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth, whether they missed the opportunity when younger, have experienced shifting over time, or simply want to invest in their smile now.
Adult orthodontics requires a slightly different approach. We consider factors such as gum health, existing dental work, and bone density when planning treatment. The good news is that with healthy teeth and gums, adults can achieve excellent results at any age.
Popular with adults: Clear aligners for their discretion, and fixed braces for more complex corrections. Many professionals appreciate that modern options allow them to straighten their teeth without their treatment being the first thing people notice.
More and more patients are seeking whiter teeth today, but traditional teeth whitening solutions may not be suitable for everyone. Learn more about our stain removal.

Based on your consultation, we create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your needs. We explain the recommended approach, estimated timeline, and costs clearly so you can make an informed decision. If you are ready to proceed, we schedule your next appointment.

Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. These custom made, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Because they are nearly invisible when worn, many adults and teens prefer this option for its subtlety.
Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, which makes maintaining your oral hygiene straightforward throughout treatment. You will wear each set of aligners for a specified period before moving to the next set in the series.
Best for: Mild to moderate alignment issues, patients who value discretion, and those who can commit to wearing their aligners for the recommended hours each day.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, we’re here to help. Whether you’re experiencing a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or another urgent issue, our team is ready to provide prompt and compassionate care.
