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.

For Children

Early intervention = shorter treatment + better outcomes.

We believe in treatment at the right time - not just when the problem is obvious.

Our growth-guided orthodontic programs allow us to:

  • Intervene early to prevent more complex treatment later
  • Work with your child’s natural growth cycles to create space and alignment
  • Support jaw development, breathing, and facial harmony

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.
