Sameer Patel explains the benefits that orthodontics can offer GDPs and their patients.

It is sad but true that many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear metal braces for years or they are concerned that other corrective procedures could be too invasive or too expensive.

Here at Elleven we have doubled our orthodontic referral base of dentists in the last few years. Practices refer patients for orthodontic treatment as well as planning restorative cases with pre-restorative orthodontics and with the new-age GDP orthodontics such as Invisalign, Inman Aligner and Six Month Smiles.
