Learn More About Specialist Care

GP clear aligner therapy at Maidstone Dental is provided by Dr. Erin Ellis as a GP Provider (OAP). Our dentist is not a licensed specialist in orthodontics. When specialist care is indicated — such as for braces or complex bite correction — we coordinate referral to an orthodontic specialist.

Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?

Straightening your teeth isn't just about appearance.

Orthodontic treatment can improve the way your teeth fit together, make brushing and flossing easier, reduce excessive wear on teeth, and create a healthier bite.

Clear aligners may help with:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite
  • Bite alignment

Why Patients Choose Invisalign®

Clear aligners are removable, so you can eat normally and brush and floss without brackets or wires in the way. The trays are nearly invisible when worn, which many patients prefer for work and social settings.

Results depend on consistent wear, typically 20 to 22 hours per day, and on whether your orthodontic needs are suitable for aligner therapy. A consultation is the best way to understand what is realistic for your smile.

Orthodontic Treatment for Teens and Adults

We provide Invisalign® clear aligner treatment for older teenagers and adults. Whether you are starting treatment for the first time or returning later in life to improve alignment, we can discuss whether aligners are a good fit.
