ABOUT US

Belmont Orthodontics is a leader in the provision of orthodontic care in Northern Ireland. Our practice was originally established in 1999 on the Holywood Road. We moved to our new Belmont Road location in 2007.

We offer an extensive range of treatments for both adults and children, including, tooth coloured ceramic braces, 'Damon®' self-ligating metal braces, lingual braces, and 'Invisalign®' braces. We also provide removable functional braces which modify growth in children. Each brace is chosen depending on your individual needs.

We believe that anyone, adult, child or teenager can benefit from the amazing transformation that orthodontic treatment can offer.
