In 2010 we became the UK's first specialist orthodontic practice to achieve ISO 9001:2008 quality management system certification. To read about our Journey, which was published in the April 2010 edition of the British Orthodontic Society's business supplement, click on article above (left).
Welcome to our Practice
Our Principal Orthodontist, Jonathan Alexander-Abt established this centrally located, specialist practice in Stevenage in 2003 in order to serve the orthodontic treatment needs of the Stevenage and North Hertfordshire communities.
The clinic employs the latest technologies, including digital x-ray imaging equipment, which reduces the radiation dose to patients and enables us to provide our referring general dentists with digitized copies of their patients´ x-rays. The practice is fully computerised. Our practice has achieved Investor in People, BDA Good Practice Scheme and ISO 9001 accreditation.
Treatment under the NHS
All patients aged 17 and under are entitled to a free Orthodontic Assessment. Following the NHS reforms introduced in April 2006, patients who are 17 and under and whose orthodontic problem meets the new criteria, are eligible for Orthodontic Treatment. New NHS patients are currently seen for their first appointment approximately 12 weeks following referral.
