If you're after an Orthodontist then look no further than Masters Orthodontics! Our Son has undergone treatment for the past 16 months with Laurence, and he has truly transformed his teeth. He had an anterior dental problem and a slightly retrusive upper jaw - but he can now smile with confidence😁. From our initial enquiry via email (after reading lots of positive reviews) which Laurence was quick to respond to, he then invited us in for a consultation. Upon meeting him, we were put at ease straight away. His knowledge and expertise is second to none, he suggested a none surgical treatment which would give my Son real time results with his teeth and from then on, we knew Laurence was the man to help us. The NHS waiting list was close on 80 months and we're so glad we chose to use Masters Orthodontics - we spent over 3 years waiting for a referral but Laurence saw our Son within 10 days from enquiring about treatment. If you're struggling with your teeth or smile, it really will change your self confidence going to see Laurence! A massive Thank you Laurence and to your Team. Amazing from start to finish😊
Response from the owner:Dear Pete, thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. It truly means a great deal to myself and Lyndsey. It has been an absolute pleasure to look after your Seth throughout his treatment journey. Seeing the transformation not only in his smile, but also in his confidence, is exactly why we love what we do. We are delighted that we were able to help him achieve such a positive result. We completely understand how frustrating long waiting lists can be, so we are very pleased we could see him quickly and help him start treatment without further delay. Thank you again for placing your trust in us and for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing Seth many years of confident smiling ahead! 😊

I would absolutely recommend Masters Orthodontics. I wanted my teeth straightened, so at the start of 2024 I researched and spoke to several orthodontists. However, after reading the excellent reviews and having my initial consultation with Laurence, I was immediately impressed by his expertise, attention to detail and approach. Laurence has been understanding and proactive throughout the process. Early on we had to adjust the treatment plan due to the complexity of straightening my lower teeth with aligners - I was reluctant to go down the route of surgery, so Laurence adapted the approach. He also accommodated my request to have my teeth whitened partway through treatment for my wedding. Also when an issue arose, he quickly fitted me in to review and resolve it. I am very pleased with the results and receive compliments about my straight teeth! Laurence has been professional and responsive from start to finish. I would not hesitate to return if I ever need further treatment.
Response from the owner:Dear Nicola, thank you so much for your kind review. It was an absolute pleasure to look after you throughout your treatment. I’m really pleased that we were able to adapt the plan to suit your preferences and still achieve a result you’re happy with. Orthodontic treatment can sometimes require a bit of flexibility along the way, so I’m glad we could find the right balance for you, especially with your wedding plans. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying the results and receiving compliments on your smile. That’s exactly what we aim for . Thank you again for trusting us with your care and for recommending Masters Orthodontics. Wishing you all the very best.

Excellent service with Laurence and Lindsey. We made the decision to move our daughter from NHS treatment to Masters Orthodontics. On initial assessment it was clear that Laurence was extremely sympathetic to our situation and he reassured us that he was able to help and complete treatment. My daughter, Evie was able to discuss her goals, and Laurence provided a very clear treatment plan, highlighting what could be achieved. Both Laurence and Lyndsey were always kind and welcoming putting Evie at ease and reassuring her. Even after our initial consultation Evie was relieved that she was finally on her journey to getting her smile back. We have now finished our treatment plan, and we could not be happier. Evie is ecstatic with the results and now is able to smile with confidence. As a family we would whole heartedly recommend Masters Orthodontics.
Response from the owner:Dear Paul, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words — they truly mean a lot to us. We completely understood how difficult the decision must have been to move from NHS treatment, and we’re so pleased that you felt supported and reassured from the very beginning. It was important to us that Evie felt comfortable and involved in her own treatment journey. We are so grateful for your trust in us and for your wonderful recommendation. It has been an absolute pleasure looking after Evie and your family. Wishing Evie many years of confident smiles ahead! 😊

Dr Laurence treated me under another clinic, that I still go to till this day. Every time I have a dental appointment I think of him, how much he has done for me. I’ve been unlucky with my teeth genes to say the least, my teeth are weak, my jaw was misshapen and I’ve endured a lifetime of poor public dental healthcare, which meant that by he age of 30 I was not only traumatised, but also was already missing multiple teeth, majority of the remaining had some sort of (often botched) treatment. I felt like a lost cause and struggled to find someone skilled enough to know what to do with me. Enter Dr. Laurence, the kindest, most talented orthodontist that you could find. Together we went through years long journey that landed me in a place where I am proud of my smile and feel confident to show them in pictures. It was life changing. I don’t think I could have gone through it if it wasn’t for someone so confident in their skills, who knows what to do and so clearly care about helping people. Thank you Dr Laurence, I will be forever grateful to you ❤️❤️❤️
Response from the owner:Dear Joanna, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful review – it truly means the world to me. It is absolutely wonderful to hear from you after all these years, and to know that the work we did together still makes a difference every time you attend a dental appointment. As you said, your journey was not an easy one, but your resilience and trust throughout treatment were remarkable, and it was a real privilege to be part of helping you reach a place where you feel proud of your smile and confident again. Messages like yours are exactly why I love what I do. Thank you again for your kind words – I wish you nothing but continued happiness and health in the future. Dziękuję, !!! Laurence

I’d been unhappy with the appearance of my teeth for some time and invested a considerable amount of time researching possible orthodontists, who I could be confident would be able to deliver a positive outcome. Laurence’s reviews were overwhelmingly positive and as a result I approached him for an initial consultation. This went well and after that I felt very confident he would be able to meet my expectations. The process of designing the aligners was very smooth and I felt well supported throughout. I am delighted to say my expectations have been exceeded. Throughout this period Laurence has been exceptionally helpful and responsive, communication has been excellent and I am delighted with the results.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review — it really means a lot to us. We’re so pleased to hear that you felt supported and confident throughout your treatment journey, and even more delighted that the final results have exceeded your expectations. Clear communication, careful planning and a personalised approach are always at the heart of what we do, so it’s wonderful to know this came across. Thank you again for trusting us with your smile — it’s been a real pleasure to be part of your transformation.Wishing you all the very best and continued comfort with your new smile! — The Masters Orthodontics Team
Brad G.
After more than two years of excellent orthodontic work carried out by Laurence, I feel obliged to submit this review. It was immediately apparent that in addition to being an expert in his field, he is also a kind, amiable individual, and I heartily recommend him. I am really pleased with the outcome, as my initial concerns about TMJ pain, a poor bite, and overall spacing have all been resolved to a degree beyond my expectations. I also need to thank Lyndsey, who has helped Laurence with such expertise and care throughout my journey. Thank you both.
Response from the owner:Dear Brad, thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. We’re delighted to hear how pleased you are with your results and that your TMJ discomfort, bite, and spacing concerns have been resolved beyond expectations. It’s been an absolute pleasure having you with us throughout your treatment journey, and we truly appreciate your trust and commitment over the past two years. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind thanks to Lyndsey — she’ll be so pleased to know her care made a difference. Wishing you all the very best and continued comfort with your new smile! — Dr. Laurence Masters

I have been a patient of Laurence for three years. I was a very complicated case, with multiple dental issues - malocclusion, asymmetry, missing teeth, and more. After being turned away by three orthodontics who admitted they didn’t even know where to start with me, Laurence took me in his care with confidence and a clear plan. From the outset, I could tell he knew exactly what needed to be done. His orthodontic work was nothing short of exceptional, and he seamlessly coordinated with other specialists involved in my treatment. No matter what complications arose, Laurence always had a solution. He didn’t just fix the aesthetic issues - he resolved the functional problems that were really bothering me. I am over the moon with the results. Laurence is a rare find, he takes pride in his work and is committed to delivering the best possible outcome. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. He has truly changed my life.
Response from the owner:Dear Raffaella, thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a lot that you placed your trust in us, especially given the challenges you faced before coming to see us. Complex cases like yours are exactly why we are so passionate about orthodontics — finding solutions that restore not just the smile, but also comfort and function. We’re delighted that you’re happy with the results, and we’re glad we could achieve them together with our surgical colleagues. Your commitment and positivity throughout the process also played a big part in this success. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey, and we’re so pleased to know that it has made such a difference in your life. Thank you again for your generous recommendation. — The Masters Orthodontics Team

Lawrence always pursued treatment options that would give me the best possible outcome. I trusted his judgement and to demonstrate my commitment, I travelled from London frequently for my appointments! I’m incredibly happy with my results and pleased I found a trusted place to carry out changes to my smile. Thank you Masters Orthodontics!
Response from the owner:Dear Amrin, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear how happy you are with your results.

john T.
Lawrence carried out some orthodontic dental work on my teeth which was very much needed. I can’t thank him and Lindsey enough for their hard work. I am throughly happy with my results and I would highly recommend Lawrence for your dental treatment If you’re looking for any orthodontic treatment Masters Orthodontics is the place to go!!!
Response from the owner:Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear how happy you are with your results.

Mark W.
I happened to find Laurence by pure luck. Basically, I read the reviews and he was very close to where I lived! Having said that, I was due a bit of luck. I have had issues my whole adulthood with an underbite, which required orthodontics along with surgery. After years of braces and 2 failed surgeries, I was nothing short of miserable. I decided to get a private appointment as I was still suffering discomfort. That's where Laurence came in. I was greeted by the friendly team, sat down in the chair, and my concerns were confirmed. Laurence reassured me that the previous treatment wasn't the correct approach but it can be fixed. It was a huge comfort and after a discussion on what would be required and the results I can expect, I left with a spring in my step. Throughout the whole experience, he was so professional, understanding, explained everything in detail, and I could tell he genuinely really cared. He is a perfectionist. He is brilliant at what he does, and as a person, a true Gentleman. I can not recommend Laurence and his team enough. Especially after my previous negative experience. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks Laurence.
Response from the owner:Dear Mark, thank you so much for your fantastic review. It was a pleasure to help you overcome your previous problems and we are trilled that you are happy with the outcome. It was great to have you as a patient and we wish you all the best for the future.
Annalise R.
I’ve had an amazing experience from start to finish with Laurence. I’ve had a lot of work done and a big change and the whole process has been fantastic. I am beyond happy with the work and the level of it provided. I would highly highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Dear Annalise, thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are really thrilled that you had a nice experience with us. We hope you are happy with your new smile and wish you all the best for the future.

Katy D.
Laurence is a very skilled professional, a true perfectionist who did a brilliant job of straightening my teenage daughters teeth. You are always warmly welcomed in to your appointments and his contact between appointments is quick, solving any issues as soon as he can. Would highly recommend his services to anyone thinking of private orthodontist treatment.
Response from the owner:Dear Katy, thank you so much for your fantastic review. It has been a pleasure to help your daughter achieve her new beautiful smile and we hope you are both happy with the results.
edward B.
My daughter has recently completed her orthodontal treatment with Laurence. He has totally transformed her teeth and given her the confidence to smile again! I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Response from the owner:Dear Edward, many thanks for your fantastic review. We are so please that she is happy with the result. It has been a pleasure and we wish her all the best for the future
Chris E.
I have been visiting Laurence for almost 10 months for clear aligners and his expertise is second to none. Always receive the best service and can’t thank Laurence and his team enough
Response from the owner:Dear Chris, many thanks for your kind words and we are trilled you were happy with your treatment. We are really pleased with the results and wish you all the best moving forward
Paul B.
I have been on a long journey to correct my totally broken bite. It happened as I had missing teeth (adult ones didn't come through) and I had a severe case of bruxism so my front teeth were very worn out. I was turned away by some private and NHS dentists, I think laurence was the 6th that I had seen. It was a long process but all along the way I felt at ease with Dr Laurence and his team. Never did I feel uncomfortable and I had a lot of work done (teeth removal, composite build ups, metal bracers, elastic bands and retainers). He always notices when the patient is feeling some pain and will adjust so its better. You almost feel part of the family and I actually look forward to my visits which is saying something as I never liked going dentist before. The end result was very satisfying and to be honest made me a bit emotional. Anyone who has bruxism as bad as me will know what it feels like. Can not recommend enough! Thanks Laurence and team
Response from the owner:Thank you Paul for an amazing review! It has been a long and hard journey but we managed to get your teeth and occlusion into a position where it can now be restored by our cosmetic friends to give you your smile and confidence back. It has been a pleasure to have you as one of our patients and we wish you all the best for the future!!
Nick
Truly first class service from Laurence and team from start to finish. I was a little nervous picking the right orthodontics for my teeth but I needn’t of worried. Laurence was great, always patient and nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything was clearly explained every step of the way. I’ve now come away with teeth I'm extremely happy with and I would highly recommend Masters Orthodontics to anyone.
Response from the owner:Dear Nick, thank you so much for your fantastic and honest review! We are very happy that you found your overall experience to be positive and thank you for being such a great patient! Wishing you all the best for the future!!
Iulia S.
I recently completed my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Laurence. I had consulted with 2 other orthodontists prior and always extractions were recommended as the only solution. Dr. Laurence, however, provided me with a range of options and explained the benefits and limitations of each. During the treatment Dr. Laurence was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. While my smile might not fit the textbook definition of ‘perfect’ I am really happy with the results. I would recommend Dr. Laurence to anyone seeking an orthodontic treatment, especially those looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable professional who truly listens his patients.
Response from the owner:Dear Iulia, Thank you for your lovely words and for your trust in us. We hope you are happy with your new smile and wish you well for the future
James B.
It would be remiss of me not to recommend Dr Masters to those seeking help and guidance with teeth imperfections. My teeth required a complex solution with a new tooth growing through the roof of my mouth and gaps in my adult teeth. I have been fortunate as Dr Master patience with me, his passion, skill and professionalism has been amazing. My new smile has enhanced my confidence and self esteem and I have no hesitation in recommending his dental and orthodontist practice.
Response from the owner:Dear James, many thanks for your wonderful review and kind words! Impacted canines always take an extremely long time to bring into position so thank you for your patience. We are pleased that you are happy with your new smile and wish you all the best for the future.
Piotr K.
I have been a patient of Dr. Masters throughout my entire orthodontic journey with braces. I always felt confident that I was in good hands, as Dr. Masters approached each situation with empathy and explained every step of the treatment along the way. My case was fairly complex, and Dr. Masters demonstrated a high degree of proficiency as he navigated through the process. The final result exceeded my expectations. Additionally, Dr. Masters ensured that the results would last a long time and that my bite remains healthy. He is an orthodontist I would recommend to everyone.
Response from the owner:Dear Piotr, It was a long, complex but amazing journey and we are all very pleased with the final results. It was a pleasure to have you as a patient and we wish you all the best for the future.

I couldn't have asked for a better dentist doing my braces. Lawrence is an excellent orthodontist - always providing the best service. I travel from Manchester to see him and I would highly recommend him. Grateful for everything he has done for me. Thank you again Laurence.
Response from the owner:Dear Zainab, thank you so much for your lovely words! It has been a pleasure treating you so far and we are really looking forward to seeing you with the beautiful smile you deserve.

Response from the owner:Dear P, thank you so much for your very kind review!!! We are extremely happy with your daughter's transformation and are glad she is enjoying her new smile. It was a pleasure to have her as a patient and hope she never stops smiling.
Jemma B.
I had an incredible experience with Masters Orthodontics and i could not be more pleased that I came across Laurence and co. After 4 years of braces when I was younger (reversed thanks to a broken retainer during covid and the inability to make an appointment), a 5 hour jaw surgery (which reversed itself within 12 months post op) and many years of insecurity, I was almost at the point of giving up on the thought of ever having a smile I could be proud of. I had approached several orthodontists who refused to assist me with straightening my teeth as they insisted that adequate results would not be possible without further surgery (which I was not willing to put myself through again due to the gruelling recovery process). I was almost at the point of giving up when I sent an email to masters orthodontics explaining my situation. Laurence kindly agreed to see me for a free consultation. Right from the off, I felt in safe hands. Laurence (Dr Masters) explained to me thoroughly that ‘perfect’ results would not be possible without surgery and the treatment he was performing (traditional braces) was going to straighten my teeth only and would not correct my overbite (which could only be rectified through surgery). Once I confirmed that I fully understood the limitations of the treatment, the braces were applied and only 8 months later I am writing this review with a very toothy grin. Dr Masters is truly an expert in his field and also just a reassuring and empathetic character. Although the scope of my treatment was limited, what has been achieved has far exceeded my expectations and I feel so much more comfortable in myself.
Response from the owner:Dear Jemma, thank you so much for your fantastic and honest review. We know you have been through a long and unsuccessful journey with your teeth throughout the years but we are extremely happy that we managed to put a smile back on your face. It was a pleasure to have you as a patient and we wish you all the best for the future.
