In our quest to become a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all your orthodontic requirements, we manufacture and source our products worldwide, to offer you the most comprehensive and innovative orthodontic product range in the UK.

Since 1982, when we first started distributing orthodontic products from a small two man office in Bradford, we have grown to be the largest UK based independent orthodontic distributor, with over 30 staff dedicated to providing you with the best customer service and product delivery in the business.

Many of our customers choose to buy from us because our products and prices are in the ‘comfort zone’. They don’t want to pay premium prices, nor do they want to buy the cheapest that may compromise clinical performance.
We sincerely hope this catalogue will be a valuable reference guide when ordering your orthodontic product requirements, and we look forward to doing our best for you at all times.
