Quayside Orthodontics

I underwent orthodontic treatment at the Quayside branch in Carmarthen back in 2012-2013. This involved premolar extraction and retraction of upper teeth to correct an overbite. At the time, I was not aware of the potential long-term structural changes that would result from this approach. Following treatment, I noticed that my palate felt narrower and my bite had changed. Over the years, I have also experienced increasing difficulty with nasal breathing, contributing to sleep disordered breathing. My intermolar width is now that of a child's (34mm), and I'm an adult. Now 12 years later, I'm having to explore further corrections such as palate expansion, and this is very costly. If you or your child is given the option of premolar extraction and retraction, I would advise you to seek an immediate second opinion from an airway specialised dentist. And ask yourself whether you want to increase the risk of sleep disordered breathing like apnoea or upper airway resistance syndrome down the line. Functional airway dentistry should come before aesthetics. Unfortunately, like many other industries profit has come before health. Edit: Irrespective of whether it was Quayside or not, James Davies was still the orthodontist I saw who directed what treatment I should have (premolar extraction and retraction).

Best services, i went there for my daughter teeth’s braces. Very helpful staff. Thanks Quayside orthodontic

Orthodontist was great but other dental staff are really badly trained. They were going to give me a retainer that would have damaged my teeth before I insisted it be checked. The second visit they gave me incorrect advise that would have damaged the retainer. Staff were short with me and rude. Finally I got the right information when I asked a manager but the dental staff are not trustworthy

You know Team Quayside cares.The team is outstanding they are helpful to everybody - to the baby (visitor), the elderly, the people who require more needs, the teenagers, the adults, the exhausted parents...so the generosity of team heart- it shows in their excellent service to a client. I never take for granted how fortunate my child is. Thank you brilliant Dr for helping every step of the braces way and all the team for making that possible. L & R, deserve a special thank you for great communication , patience and encouragement, and my young daughter deserve a thank you for joyful attending the appointments. Will highly recommend Q.
