Orthodontic Braces in Plymouth – Treatment for All Ages

At Larkham House Dental Practice, we believe that a confident smile has no age limit. Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teenagers—adult orthodontics is a rapidly growing area of our practice. More and more adults are choosing to straighten their teeth, improve their bite, and boost their confidence through discreet, effective orthodontic care.

Whether you’re an adult who missed out on braces as a child, someone whose teeth have shifted over time, or a patient looking to prepare for other cosmetic or restorative dental treatments, we’re here to help.

Who Can Have Orthodontic Braces?

Almost anyone! Braces are suitable for children, teens, and adults alike. At Larkham House, we offer orthodontic treatment to:

Adults who didn’t qualify for NHS treatment during their youth
Patients whose teeth have relapsed after previous orthodontic treatment
Individuals who are simply unhappy with the alignment of their smile
Patients preparing for further restorative work, such as dental implants or veneers

Modern orthodontics is more comfortable and discreet than ever, with options to suit all lifestyles and treatment goals.

Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is about more than just aesthetics. Straightening your teeth and improving your bite can have long-lasting benefits for both your oral health and your overall well-being.

Here are just a few reasons to consider treatment:

Straighter teeth for a more attractive and balanced smile
Improved bite function, making chewing and speaking more comfortable
Better oral hygiene—straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain
Reduced wear and tear on teeth and jaw joints caused by misalignment
Higher self-confidence and increased satisfaction with your smile
Support for other dental work, such as ensuring optimal space for implants
Pre-alignment for veneers or crowns, reducing the need for enamel removal

Orthodontics isn’t just cosmetic—it’s foundational to long-term dental health.

Are There Alternatives to Braces?

For mild misalignment or aesthetic concerns, there are alternatives to braces. These may include:

Tooth-coloured composite build-ups
Porcelain veneers
Crowns designed to improve the appearance of the smile

However, these options often require the removal of healthy tooth enamel and do not address the underlying alignment or bite issues. Comprehensive correction of bite problems is usually only achievable through orthodontic treatment.

If you’re unsure whether braces or another option is right for you, we’ll be happy to guide you through a personalised consultation.

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
