Angus Pringle’s practice is limited exclusively to orthodontics. This allows every treatment plan to be tailored carefully, whether that involves fixed braces, clear aligners such as Invisalign®, or growth-guided treatment for younger patients.

Orthodontic treatment options

Orthodontic treatment is always planned on an individual basis. The most appropriate appliance depends on age, growth, tooth position, bite relationship and long-term stability.

Orthodontic treatment for children and teenagers

Orthodontic treatment for children and teenagers in Fareham is often timed to coincide with growth and development. Fixed braces are commonly used to correct alignment and bite problems during the teenage years.

In some cases, functional appliances may be recommended to guide jaw growth before moving on to braces or aligners.

Modern systems such as Damon braces may be used where appropriate as part of a carefully planned treatment approach.

Orthodontic treatment for adults

Adult orthodontic treatment in Fareham focuses on improving tooth alignment, bite function and long-term dental health, often with an emphasis on discreet treatment options.

Many adults choose Invisalign® treatment or Spark Aligners for a removable, low-visibility option, while fixed braces remain an excellent solution for more complex orthodontic cases.

Why see a specialist orthodontist?

A specialist orthodontist has completed several additional years of postgraduate training focused exclusively on orthodontics. This advanced training allows for accurate diagnosis, careful treatment planning and management of complex tooth and bite problems.

Seeing a specialist orthodontist in Fareham helps ensure treatment is not only effective in the short term, but stable and healthy in the long term.

Retention after orthodontic treatment

Retention is a vital part of orthodontic care. After active treatment, retainers are used to maintain tooth position and protect the result achieved.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to see a specialist orthodontist?

While some orthodontic treatment can be provided by general dentists, a specialist orthodontist has additional training focused on tooth movement and bite correction. This is particularly important for more complex cases or where long-term stability is a priority.

Do you offer both braces and Invisalign?

Yes. Treatment options include fixed braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign®. The most suitable option depends on individual clinical needs and is discussed during a consultation.

Is orthodontic treatment suitable for adults?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for adults of all ages, provided teeth and gums are healthy. Many adults choose discreet treatment options to fit around work and family life.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment length varies depending on complexity and treatment type. Many patients complete treatment within 12–24 months, although this can be shorter or longer in some cases.

How do I know whether braces or aligners are right for me?

A consultation with a specialist orthodontist allows for a full assessment of your teeth and bite, followed by a clear explanation of the most appropriate treatment options.
