Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Accelerated orthodontics covers techniques used alongside braces or aligners to shorten the time teeth take to move. Whether your case suits it, and by how much the course could be shortened, is assessed at a consultation.
Treatment is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), at our Primrose Hill practice.
For many adults the length of treatment, not the appliance, is what puts them off. Accelerated techniques are the part of our orthodontics in London aimed at that: they are added to a conventional course, with braces or the Invisalign range (Full, Lite, Express, Teen or First), to move the teeth faster. Whether they apply to your case depends on the movement needed.
Dr Papagalani diagnoses first and only recommends an accelerated technique where it will help your case, so you do not pay for something that adds nothing. The fee is itemised before you begin.
Depending on your case, the shorter route may instead be Six Month Smiles for front-tooth alignment, or the plan may need orthodontic expanders or orthodontic headgear first. The consultation settles the method and the timeline.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Adults with healthy gums and bone whose main concern is how long treatment takes. Suitability depends on your anatomy and the complexity of the movement, which the specialist orthodontist assesses at your first visit. To decide between appliances, see braces and aligners: which option fits. If dental visits make you anxious, tell us when you book.
We examine your teeth and jaw and confirm whether an accelerated approach suits your case or whether conventional fixed metal braces are the better route, then give you a timeline.
We plan the path of every tooth, taking root position into account, and explain how the course will be shortened before we start.
We fit your braces or aligners and add the acceleration technique, and tell you how to manage the initial pressure.
We review progress closely and adjust as needed to keep the movement steady and safe.
We confirm every tooth has reached its target position, remove the appliance and set out the retention steps.
We plan with 3D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of the planned movement before we begin. Treatment is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist.
Accelerated techniques are combined with the appliance your case needs: fixed braces, or the Invisalign range from Invisalign Full and Lite to Invisalign Express for minor corrections and slight relapse.
The fee depends on your case and is itemised at your consultation once we have planned the route to your result.
It depends on the complexity of your case. We set the timeframe at your initial assessment.
Dr Papagalani selects the technique that suits your anatomy and goals at your clinical examination.
The appliance is the same; the added technique aims to reduce the time the teeth spend moving. We explain the clinical differences for your case at the consultation.
The specialist orthodontist confirms at your first visit whether faster tooth movement suits you, and sets the timeline and cost. Learn what happens at your orthodontic consultation and how to book. Our wider range of orthodontics in London is explained at the same visit.
