Our orthodontist in Edgware offers you decades of experience

Offering you experience from around the world our orthodontists have lived and worked in a variety of worldwide locations. That experience is now all under one roof ensuring that you will receive the best treatment available. As a well-established orthodontist in Edgware we have attended to thousands of patients over the past three decades. We offer treatment to all ages, from children whose permanent teeth have just broken through to adults of more mature years.

Moving with the times

Modern science and technology have combined with dental breakthroughs to develop amazingly advanced equipment and techniques. As a twenty-first century orthodontist in Edgware we are constantly investing in new equipment and attending training in the latest techniques so that we maintain a high level of skill in our professional capability. The technology of Smartphones has also allowed us to receive selfie pictures of a patient’s smile and a description of what they would like their smile to look like. Our appliances and expertise allow us to offer a wide range of treatments ranging from those that are simple routine to highly complex procedures.

Orthodontics more than just straightening teeth

Orthodontists are specialists in facial growth and the dental development of children and adults. They provide advice and treatment for crooked teeth and jaws that are badly aligned, as well as to correct bad bites. As a responsible orthodontist in Edgware we promote preventive dentistry and advise that children should attend an orthodontist by the age of seven years. This allows us the opportunity to identify any problems that have not yet manifested themselves, but that could cause issues later. Misaligned jaws, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, bad bites can all lead to tooth decay and gum disease in later years if not treated early. In addition not being able to chew your food properly can lead to gastric conditions. Bacterial build-up on teeth due to gaps or overcrowding are a common problem in adults.

Getting that perfect smile

The variety of devices that are now available to the dental profession means that there is no excuse for anyone to have crooked or gapped teeth, or an overcrowded mouth. Traditional braces with metal wires and brackets and elastic bands were once upon a time one of the few strategies available to the dental fraternity. That has all changed now and while the traditional metal braces are still used in some treatments they are more modern and far more comfortable. Clear braces have become increasingly popular because they are made from a transparent material and they are inconspicuous making them barely visible.

We aim to bring your dental dreams to life

For Katz and Madhok Orthodontics there is no greater satisfaction than bringing a radiant, confident appearance to the face of a patient who before treatment was self-conscious about their smile. If we can restore your self-esteem and make you feel more positive then we believe that we have done our job. These days with the pressures of social media and the desire to be able to send photographs of your smile to friends and family all over the world, our job of providing that smile is far more important than before the advent of the smartphone. We have equipped thousands of patients with the smile that they have often dreamed of and we are proud of our achievements over the years.
