Kick off the new term with a Confidence-boosting smile.

At Queensway Orthodontics, we understand the university experience is more than late-night study sessions. It’s where lifelong memories are made, where friendships bloom, and where first impressions count.

• New campus?
• Freshers’ parties?
• Settling into your student digs?
• Attending first lectures?

Make each moment memorable with a CONFIDENT Queensway smile.

Forget those old-school metal braces and get to know Invisalign clear aligners:

• Virtually Invisible – They’ll never steal your spotlight.
• Cost-Effective – A dazzling smile for just the price of a coffee a day.
• Fewer Appointments – Perfect for your busy student life.
• Removable – Eat, drink, clean without a hitch.
• Boost Confidence – Shine in every lecture theatre and social gathering.

AND… For our bright scholars, enjoy a 5% discount on your treatment! 🎓✨

The journey to “I do” is filled with preparations, and a confident smile should be top of that list.

We’re proud to have helped countless brides, grooms and entire bridal parties achieve the confidence of a Queensway smile ahead of their most memorable day.

Why Smile Confidence Matters: Your wedding day is full of once-in-a-lifetime moments, and every smile captured is a memory forever. Having the confidence to flash that beautiful smile means reliving the joy every time you look back at the photos.

The Power of Orthodontic Treatment: Whether it’s the magic of Invisalign or the transformative journey of braces, our treatments do more than align teeth. They boost confidence, enrich daily interactions and light up life’s special moments.

A huge shout out to talented and local photographer, @garywalshphoto who we have collaborated with to create a special blog post that delves deeper into the magic of wedding smiles and the stories behind them…

Spotlight on Growing Smiles: Meet Our Invisalign First Star, Fin!

We’re delighted to showcase our Smile of the Month – the radiant Fin! At just eleven years old, Fin is now beaming with a Queensway Orthodontics-crafted smile, made possible with Invisalign First.

Invisalign First is designed especially for young smiles in the making. Its benefits include:

Customised to Growing Teeth:

Tailored to accommodate the growth and development of children’s teeth.

Discreet Treatment:

Transparent aligners that subtly work their magic, so kids can feel confident wearing them.

Comfortable Experience:

Designed with kids in mind, ensuring a snug and pain-free fit.

Fin’s journey began when he and his family sought a solution to his overcrowding issues. Like many children his age, Fin was beginning to feel self-conscious about his teeth. With secondary school on the horizon, his parents wanted him to step into this new phase with assurance and poise. Thanks to Invisalign First and our dedicated team, Fin is now set to do just that.

A special shout out to Gary Walsh Photography for capturing Fin’s sparkling transformation.

If your child’s teeth are starting to show signs of misalignment, get in touch with us. At Queensway Orthodontics, we’re committed to helping little smiles grow big and confident!

Rain or shine, nothing can dampen our spirit, especially when it’s all about celebrating love, diversity, and of course, a confident smile.

This year, our fabulous team at QO braved the downpour and headed to the Newcastle Pride Festival, and what a blast it was! Amidst the rainbow flags and festivities, we found ourselves in heart-warming conversations about orthodontics. From discussing how Invisalign can CHANGE YOUR LIFE, to sharing tips, our team were thrilled to engage with the vibrant community.

We took this opportunity to embrace and champion the values of diversity and inclusivity. It was a wonderful reminder that just like every smile, every individual is unique and special in their own way.
