Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet teeth straightening solution using custom-made, removable trays. This treatment is ideal for adults and teenagers seeking subtle orthodontic correction. The transparent design allows for confident social and professional interactions during treatment. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning, maintaining excellent oral hygiene throughout the process.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use advanced self-ligating technology for efficient teeth movement with reduced friction. This system often achieves results faster than traditional braces while maintaining patient comfort. The streamlined design requires fewer adjustments, making it a popular choice for both children and adults seeking reliable orthodontic treatment with proven results.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments enhance smiles following orthodontic treatment. Using high-quality whitening agents, we safely lighten tooth enamel while minimising sensitivity. The process typically involves custom-fitted trays for at-home application, ensuring consistent results and patient convenience in maintaining their newly straightened smile.
Virtual Consultations
Virtual consultations provide convenient initial assessments through secure video technology. Patients can discuss treatment options from the comfort of their homes while receiving expert orthodontic advice. This digital approach streamlines the initial stages of care, making specialist orthodontic expertise more accessible to busy individuals.
Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers combine orthodontic treatment with restorative dental procedures for complete smile transformation. Our specialists coordinate care with general dentists to address both alignment and aesthetic concerns. This holistic approach creates harmonious, functional results that enhance both appearance and oral health for lasting confidence.

I have just recently finished my Invaslign treatment with Dr Bhatti. From the very start Dr Bhatti and his team were open to any questions I had and the treatment went perfectly. I love my results, such a big difference to before. I would definitely recommend everyone to get their Invisalign treatment from here.

So far not so good, I've sent emails and left voicemails but as yet no response. This rating can certainly be improved but service levels have to do the same. I want my sons teeth fixed and have business waiting for you. Come and get it.

I cannot recommend Heaton Mersey Orthodontic Centre enough! My teeth were such a source of grief for me and Dr Bhatti and his team were absolutely incredible in changing my smile. I was really looked after throughout the entire process and at the end they checked with me to make sure I was completely happy. I had my braces for just under 2 years and even throughout the Covid pandemic, the team were fantastic. If you are considering Invisalign, I would urge you to go here as you will leave feeling so much more confident. It is, hands down, one of the best decisions I have ever made

My teeth were in really bad shape from early age and I was unable to fix them due to my hardships. After many years of battle with the way my appearance looked, I finally found little courage to get my teeth treated and I booked myself to see Dr Usmani. I was extremely anxious but Dr Usmani assured me that she will look after me during the whole treatment and that put my mind at ease. Dr Usmani was very gentle and patient with me throughout the whole experience.
As time went by during my treatment I started to gain more and more confidence in myself and the treatment. I also started to gain some confidence in all areas of my life. For first time in years I was able to smile in front of mirror and people with confidence and I felt really good.

I completed my treatment recently, having started with three months of the Carriere appliance to adjust my bite before moving onto 18 months of Invisalign. Throughout my treatment, the team at HMOC were always welcoming, reassuring and helpful when dealing with any concerns. I knew I was in great hands with Dr Bhatti; I was desperate to complete my treatment before my wedding, and he did everything he could to get me there in time, without ever cutting corners or compromising on delivering the best results possible.
He is very much a perfectionist! I used the Dental Monitoring app and the centre's recommended teeth whitening product, both of which were great. I will always be grateful to HMOC for giving me the confidence to smile all through my wedding day.

I have recently finished Invisalign treatment with Dr Usmani. I am over the moon with the results. For years I have been unhappy with my teeth, especially on photographs. During lockdown I made the decision to go for treatment and Dr Usmani was fantastic right from the start. She listened to what I wanted to achieve and was really lovely. In the end my teeth are better than I expected them to be.
The treatment was easy and fast. The dental monitoring service was fantastic and allowed me to take control of my treatment with reduced visits to the surgery which was helpful with work and also due to covid restrictions.
