At Vermilion, we offer cutting edge orthodontic treatment, tailored to meet your specific needs and goals and to give you the smile that you deserve.
We understand that life can be busy. With the aid of cutting edge technology such as Dental Monitoring, we offer treatment options that fit around you and your lifestyle including:
Invisalign
Invisalign® gives you the option to straighten your teeth discreetly. Using clear plastic trays known as ‘aligners’, Invisalign® is virtually invisible and works over a period of time – determined by our orthodontic team – to straighten your teeth in to their ideal position.
Spark Aligners
Spark Aligners are made using TruGEN™ material; an extremely thin, clear and comfortable material. Hand polished and shaped for your comfort, Spark Aligners are designed for your desired smile using machine precision.
Fixed braces
The ‘original’ orthodontic treatment, fixed braces have changed a lot since the very first models; they are smaller, more discreet, more comfortable and more effective. Using a system of brackets, archwires and elastics, braces are made of metal and are fixed to the front of each tooth with a strong adhesive. A metal archwire runs through the brackets, which are all held together with elastic bands.
Clear braces
If you’re looking for a discreet alternative to traditional fixed braces, clear braces are a great option for you. Clear braces work just like traditional fixed braces, except the brackets are made of ceramic instead of metal. The ceramic is durable and tooth-coloured, so it will blend in with the natural colour of your smile.
There are steps that can be taken to guide your child’s growing smile that can often reduce the cost and length of orthodontic treatment that they may need in their teenage years.
Early treatment also provides Dr Laura Hernández Horlock, Practice limited to Orthodontics with the opportunity to:

Dental Monitoring is a cutting-edge App that allows us to remotely track your clear aligner treatment progress. So, instead of coming in to the practice for regular adjustment appointments, you can send us a picture of your smile through the App, wherever you are.
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of clear plastic trays called aligners, these aligners are virtually invisible and work to gently move your teeth over time to create a beautiful and straight smile.
As every patient’s course of treatment is different, Dr Laura Hernández Horlock, Practice limited to Orthodontics will advise you on how often you should change your aligners.
If you have missing teeth or crowns you can still wear braces. A tooth with a crown will move in a similar manner as a normal tooth with a simple filling. Orthodontic treatment will aid the alignment of remaining teeth.
There are a few tell-tale signs that your child needs to see an orthodontist, such as:
