Specialist Orthodontics
Orthodontics London
A straighter smile is not merely an aesthetic ambition — it is a health decision. Correctly aligned teeth are easier to clean, place less strain on the jaw and gum tissues, and last longer. At DentAkademi London, orthodontic treatment is led by Dr Sedef Sera Hepdarcan Sirman, a PhD-qualified specialist with expertise in every major orthodontic system.
Is It Too Late?
Adults Are the Fastest-Growing Orthodontic Patient Group
The notion that orthodontic treatment is only for teenagers is firmly out of date. Advances in discreet systems — clear aligners, lingual braces, tooth-coloured brackets — have made orthodontics a practical, comfortable option for adults at any stage of life.
Whether you have had a longstanding concern about your bite, or your teeth have gradually shifted over the years, the right orthodontic system will achieve excellent results. Adult treatment is sometimes a little longer than teenage treatment, but outcomes are entirely comparable.
We offer every major discreet orthodontic option and design each treatment plan around your individual anatomy, lifestyle and goals.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
No. Adults are the fastest-growing orthodontic patient group.

Adult treatment is sometimes a little longer than teenage treatment, but outcomes are entirely comparable.What is the difference between Invisalign and lingual braces?
Invisalign uses removable clear aligners that are almost invisible. They must be worn for 22 hours a day and are best suited to mild to moderate cases. Lingual braces (WIN & Incognito) are fixed brackets attached to the inside surface of the teeth — completely hidden from the front — and work 24 hours a day without requiring patient compliance. They are effective for complex cases.How much does orthodontic treatment cost in London?
