Orthodontics isn’t just about straight teeth. It’s about proactive health, functional alignment, and creating a confident smile that lasts a lifetime.
At DNTL Code, we take a personalised, outcomes-based approach — aligning treatment with your goals, growth phase, and lifestyle. Whether you’re a teen seeking a straighter smile, a parent wanting the best for your child, or an adult who wishes they’d done it sooner — we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
For Teens
Feel good. Look great. Set yourself up for life.
This is the age where confidence starts to bloom - and a great smile can be the launchpad.
We offer discreet and modern solutions tailored for teens, helping to:
Correct misalignment before it becomes a long-term issue
Improve oral hygiene by making teeth easier to clean
Reduce the risk of future wear, damage, or jaw problems
Build the kind of self-assurance that lights up every room
Orthodontics at DNTL Code isn’t about fitting into a mold — it’s about helping teens feel more like themselves.
Signs your child may benefit from early orthodontic treatment:
Snoring or mouth breathing at night
Teeth grinding (especially during sleep)
No gaps between baby teeth (this often means there won’t be enough room for adult teeth)
Crowding or crooked adult teeth
Canines coming in high or outside the normal line of teeth
Front teeth tipping too far forward or backward
Upper and lower teeth not lining up when biting
The bottom jaw sitting too far forward or too far back compared to the top jaw underbite or overbite)
A tilted smile (known as a “cant”) or bite that looks off-centre
Correcting these early can:
Support healthier jaw and facial development
Prevent accelerated wear or chipping of teeth
Reduce the risk of decay and gum disease by making teeth easier to clean
Improve sleep, breathing, and speech
Minimise the need for more invasive treatment later
For Adults
It’s never too late - and it’s always worth it.
Whether your teeth have shifted since your teenage braces, or you never got the chance to start - we’re seeing more adults than ever take control of their smile.
Invisible and low-impact options available Address bite issues that are causing wear, discomfort, or gum problems
Improve the aesthetics of your smile while prioritising long-term function
Build the confidence to show up fully in life, business, and beyond
This isn’t about vanity - it’s about making your health, confidence, and future a priority. You’re not too old. It’s not too late. And the results speak for themselves.

Broome’s First Full-Time Orthodontist, Now at DNTL Code
We’re thrilled to welcome Dr Gavin Brown to the DNTL Code team as Broome’s first full-time orthodontist. With years of specialist experience and a passion for creating confident, healthy smiles, Dr Gavin brings a whole new level of care to our community with no need to wait months for an appointment or travel far for specialist orthodontic treatment.
With more than 30 years in dentistry and over 20 years as a Specialist Orthodontist, Dr Gavin brings an incredible depth of experience to our team and to every smile he treats.
After graduating from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 1992, Dr Gavin began his career in general practice and hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery. He then spent 18 months as a flying dentist, delivering care to remote communities in northern Canada. This experience shaped his calm, adaptable and solutions-focused approach.
He returned to the UK to continue working in surgical and hospital settings, including Oral and Maxillofacial and ENT departments, before taking on a senior role with the South Tees Community Dental Service. There, he provided care to patients with dental anxiety, medical complexities and special needs.
During this time, Dr Gavin was awarded his Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and recognised as a specialist in surgical dentistry (now known as oral surgery). He then went on to complete a Master’s degree in Orthodontics at Newcastle University, followed by Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, formally qualifying as a Specialist Orthodontist.
Since then, Dr Gavin has practised in the UK, New Zealand and most recently Bermuda, where he spent several years in private orthodontic practice. He has also taught both undergraduate and postgraduate students and has a keen interest in mentoring early-career clinicians.
Dr Gavin is known for his thoughtful, thorough approach to orthodontics and his ability to support patients through complex or multi-phase treatment plans. He works with children, teens and adults to help them achieve long-term, healthy results and the kind of confidence that comes with loving your smile.
When he’s not in clinic, he’s usually outdoors with his wife Susan, or keeping up with his two grown-up kids – Aislin, a chemical engineer, and Myles, a physiotherapy student.

What is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. After completing general dental training, orthodontists undergo several additional years of university study to specialise in how teeth and facial structures grow and move.
They’re the experts behind treatments like braces, clear aligners (such as Invisalign), early intervention for kids, and jaw development solutions — all designed to improve not just the look of your smile, but how your teeth function for life.
What This Means for You?
Having Dr Gavin here full-time means more consistent care, shorter wait times, and the ability to plan treatments with someone who really understands the unique needs of our region. Whether it’s a child needing early orthodontic guidance, a teen starting their journey with braces, or an adult ready for a smile refresh with clear aligners — Dr Gavin is here to support you at every stage.
Broome deserves access to the best in specialist care, without compromise. We’re proud to offer that right here at DNTL Code.
