We are committed to providing you with
the best level of orthodontic service. The small team
at Harley Street is friendly and knowledgeable in
all aspects of orthodontics. Staff use a sophisticated
computer management system, Orthotrac, which monitors
treatment programmes and processes enquires quickly
and efficiently. We are always available to answer
questions, or to chat about any problems.
However, the most important member of our team is YOU!
Your cooperation in your treatment plan is essential
for successful results. We all like to report regularly
on treatment progress. We encourage you to express your
concerns and questions, and ask parents to take an active
role in their child's orthodontic program.
