Dr. Mike Mew, one of London's premier specialist orthodontists, can help almost anyone have a better, more confident smile.

Dedicated to providing high quality hidden orthodontic solutions to discerning adult clients, Dr. Mew trained in Denmark at one of the world's foremost adult orthodontics programs. His practice is based at Dentics, conveniently located near the Bank tube station in the heart of the City of London. Excellent transport links make Dr. Mew easily accessible to people everywhere in the city and country.

Dr. Mike Mew tailors an individualised solution for each and every one of his patients. A wide range of sophisticated techniques and premier dental and orthodontic appliances enable Dr. Mew to treat even the most demanding cases.

Working with the highly talented Dentics team, including specialist implantologist Dr. Maria Retzepi and Dr. Oliver Harman, one of the country's leading cosmetic dentists (of “Extreme Makeover” fame), Dr. Mew uses his international training and expertise to provide one of the widest ranges of orthodontics solutions possible. These solutions include:

• Invisalign
  The world's most advanced aligner system, often combined with prealign to treat cases that would otherwise not be suitable for Invisalign.
• Aligner systems
  Clear thin plastic covers that fit over the teeth and move them, including Kesling and Simply5. Similar to Clear Step, Orthoclear and 6 Month Smiles.
• Invisible braces
  Discrete removable orthodontic appliances designed to achieve general alignment of teeth, including Bioblock and ALF systems. Similar but superior to the Iman aligners system.
• Fixed appliances
  Traditional railway track braces with components fixed to the teeth and wires running between. Includes clear and aesthetic brackets, titanium and Damon 3 low friction systems.
• Sectional systems
  Discrete mechanical systems used for difficult tooth movements, often used to enable the use of Invisalign or other aligner-based systems.
• Myotherapy
  Postural and functional exercises to change the oral muscular balance; treats the cause of crooked teeth and improves the lip and cheek shape.

What You Can Expect: Personalised Assessment and Treatment

Your treatment will begin with a full assessment by Dr. Mike Mew during a free 30-minute appointment. He will of course assess the positions and alignment of your teeth, but will also evaluate the shape, balance and symmetry of your face, the positions of your upper and lower jaws, and the size, shape, position and support of your lips. Dr. Mew will also assess the relative positions of your upper and lower dental arches, a critical step in the process. Treatments that don't take dental arch positions into account are unlikely to result in teeth that stay well aligned. Dr. Mew's assessment procedure avoids this problem by making sure that the position of your dental arches forms an integral part of your treatment plan.

Dr. Mike Mew will then design an individual treatment plan based on his assessment. If appropriate, elements of more than one type of treatment can be combined to provide several treatment options. One common combination allows individuals who are not good candidates for Invisalign treatments to become suitable candidates by using elements of the sectional system.

Shortly after your free orthodontic assessment you'll receive a letter that outlines Dr. Mew's treatment suggestions, time estimates and the costs of each option. This letter will also include Michael Mew's personal email address if you have further questions. Dr. Mew encourages you to seek several opinions and is always happy to discuss suggestions and ideas, whether you wish to be treated at Dentics or somewhere else.

Your teeth are precious. Orthodontic treatment is a big step to take, and making the right choice is important. Dr. Mew and this site are here to help you make the right decision.
