Orthodontic treatments aren’t just for teenagers. More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth later in life — and thanks to modern, discreet options like Invisalign®, it’s easier and more comfortable than ever.
At Torrington Dental Practice in North Devon, we specialise in private orthodontic treatments tailored to adult patients. Whether you’re preparing for a big event, want to feel more confident at work, or simply wish to improve your smile, we’re here to help.
We offer expert care using advanced systems, including Invisalign® – the virtually invisible aligners that straighten your teeth without interrupting your daily life. With flexible appointment times, personalised treatment plans, and a focus on comfort and results, you can feel confident from your first consultation to your final perfect smile.
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENTS
Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that falls under both aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, focusing on correcting the position of the teeth and jaws to achieve a healthy, attractive, and confident smile – at any age.
Orthodontic treatments can be used to align crooked teeth and improve appearance, or as part of a wider dental plan to create the ideal positioning for restorative dental work, such as dental implants or bridges.
NHS Orthodontic Treatments for Children and Teenagers
All patients under the age of 18 may be eligible for an orthodontic assessment under the NHS. However, NHS treatment is restricted to more severe cases.
Very minor orthodontic concerns that do not qualify for NHS treatment can still be effectively treated privately.
Types of Braces at Torrington Dental Practice
At our practice, we offer a range of orthodontic appliances to suit different needs:
- fixed braces (railway tracks)
- functional braces
Fixed braces
Most orthodontic treatment is undertaken using fixed braces (railway tracks). These braces involve a small metal attachment (bracket) ‘glued’ to each individual tooth, these brackets are then linked together by a wire. Most commonly these braces are made of metal but tooth coloured braces are available for private patients.
Orthodontic Braces | Price |
| Simple Fixed | From £1198.00 |
| Upper or Lower fixed | From £1997.00 |
| Upper & Lower fixed | From £2662.00 |
Private Adult Orthodontic Treatments
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but assumed it was too late, you’re not alone. Many of our adult patients felt the same until they discovered how achievable, comfortable, and discreet modern orthodontic treatment can be.
Although orthodontics is often started during adolescence, an increasing number of adults are now choosing to improve their smiles. Whether your teeth have shifted over time or you’ve always wanted to make a change, treatment can be just as effective later in life. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, there’s no upper age limit, and with today’s discreet options, adult orthodontics is more appealing than ever.
Whether you’re looking to feel more confident in your personal or professional life, preparing for a wedding or milestone birthday, or simply want to invest in your long-term dental health, adult orthodontics can help.
At Torrington Dental Practice, we offer a range of private orthodontic treatments designed specifically for adult patients – including Invisalign® clear aligners, which straighten teeth with minimal impact on your lifestyle. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable to wear.
With flexible appointments, expert guidance, and personalised treatment plans, we make your orthodontic journey as smooth and supportive as possible from your initial consultation to your final, confident smile.

Common Questions About Invisalign®
What is Invisalign®?
At Torrington Dental Practice, we use Invisalign® clear aligners to help our patients achieve a straighter, more confident smile without traditional braces. Invisalign® works through a series of virtually invisible, custom-made aligners that gently move your teeth into their new position over time — with no metal brackets or wires.

Invisalign® is ideal for adults seeking a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth. Here at Torrington Dental Practice, we currently offer Invisalign® for private adult patients who need simple straightening of their front (anterior) teeth.
How does Invisalign® treatment work?
Once you’ve had your consultation, we’ll create a digital treatment plan and a series of aligners custom-made for your smile. You’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next, gradually guiding your teeth into the desired position.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Every smile is different, but for simple alignment cases, treatment at Torrington Dental Practice can take as little as 3 to 6 months. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear idea of what to expect and how long your individual treatment may take.
