What does "mentions" mean here?
A practice is listed when text on its own website refers to this treatment. We do not verify clinical capability, qualifications or availability. Check the practice's GDC registration on the GDC register and its inspection history at CQC.
How much can you rely on the star ratings in Colchester?
21 of the 21 Colchester practices listing braces, orthodontics or Invisalign show a Google rating. 5 have a perfect 5.0, and 1 of those have fewer than 20 reviews. The median practice has 208 reviews. 13 have a rating of 4.8 or more from at least 100 reviews. Across all of Essex, 10% of rated practices are a 5.0 with under 20 reviews. A perfect score from a handful of reviews is weaker evidence than a slightly lower score from hundreds, and neither says anything about clinical quality.

When might this page not help you?
A listing for orthodontics or Invisalign does not mean the clinician is a specialist. Only dentists on the GDC specialist list may present as specialists, and dentists not on that list should not use the title Orthodontist. NHS braces are usually free only under 18 and are decided by the orthodontist, so adults should expect to pay. Opening hours were collected for only 16 of the 21 Colchester practices listing braces, orthodontics or Invisalign, and 6 of those list Saturday hours, so this page cannot tell you who is open at weekends or in the evening. It does not show who is taking new NHS patients, current fees, or whether a clinician is on the GDC register.
What should you ask on the first call?
- What is the clinician’s GDC number, and are they on the specialist list for orthodontics?
- Who does the adjustments: dentist, specialist or therapist?
- Is the total in writing, including retainers and replacements?
- What happens if treatment runs longer than quoted?
- What happens if I have a problem afterwards?
