The Orthodontic Specialist- Prevention Focused Center of Excellence: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I am so happy about this practice and both my sons have treatment here. I am a dentist myself and recommend Dr Decker and his team to my patients.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Rachel. We’re honored that you trust us with your sons’ care and truly appreciate your professional recommendation. Dr. Decker and the team are grateful for your support. We look forward to continuing to provide excellent care for your family.
Fantastic experience: I did tongue tie release with Dr. Komal Suri. She is very kind and explained everything in depth and gave me serrapeptase tablets to prevent scar overgrowth or tongue tie reattachment. Clean results, not very painful, highly recommend!!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Lea! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Komal Suri provided you with a positive experience during your tongue tie release. It's great to know that the process was clear and comfortable for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Negative experience: I read so many reviews and had high hopes, I asked about palate expansion as my upper teeth are crowded and it can help with nasal breathing. I also booked an x Ray (£250). Dr. Palmer examined my teeth and agreed there was crowding and my palate is narrow, he then spent 15m trying to sell me a sleep assessment course for £400. Then stated I would likely need surgery to bring my upper jaw forward, when I asked does that help with my narrow upper jaw he said no and I asked after assessments would that then be something he can fix and he gave a non answer. I had high hopes and have come away feeling like he didn’t address my main concern and tried selling the sleep assessment course. There was also no x-Ray, the clinic has agreed to refund it. Not what I was expecting at all.
Dear Lee. Thank you for your review. It brings to light the lack of understanding of what is required when diagnosing and treatment planning complex cases. We do have good reviews, thank you for noticing. They are there because we carry out a thorough diagnosis before we recommend any treatment. We try to work on the highest level. When any patient attends for 1 hour consultation for a complex treatment that has many risks if
misdiagnosed and badly treatment planned we invariably require further assessment like a sleep test. Sometimes a sleep test is mandatory. We also ask patients to seek advice. An x ray wasn’t taken as we couldn’t justify it. That’s why we happily refunded it. We don’t do X-rays without indication. I hope you find the answers you are looking for and we will not compromise on our diagnostic. Shame you didn’t see the value and gave us 1 star. Good luck and you are always welcome to come back when you value our diagnostic.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful care, making hard experiences feel calm and easy.
Thank you for your kind words, Paulinka. We're thrilled to hear that you found comfort and care during such challenging times. Our team is dedicated to providing the best possible experience, and it's wonderful to know we succeeded with you. Your feedback means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: I found The Orthodontic Specialist when I was researching a private orthodontist for my 13 year old daughter as the advice from the NHS was to have a general anaesthetic and 8 teeth pulled before braces! We decided that wasn’t going to be an option and instead made an appointment to see Steffen. Our original consultation was positive, as Steffen smiled, spoke directly to my daughter and reassured her that the journey would be ok. She felt way more reassured with the treatment plan she was going to have. At the same time I made an appointment to talk about Invisalign for myself, and from then on have had many, many visits to the practice- and have enjoyed the new space too. My husband and son have also used the practice too for dental and Orthodontic appointments. I just finished 12 months of Invisalign and my only regret is that I wished I had started it earlier! A terrific experience and highly recommend. I would also recommend starting orthodontic work earlier with my children rather than early teens …early intervention would have been a lot easier- especially with our daughter.
Hi Emma, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It has been a pleasure to treat the family. It also great to have a catch up when you are here.
So pleased you are members of our practice and part of the TOS family
Best wishes

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Dr. Komal Suri for over 15 years, and I can confidently say she is in a league of her own. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care set her apart. The practice itself reflects her high standards—warm, welcoming, and committed to patient care. The entire team goes above and beyond to ensure every visit is a positive experience, providing top-tier treatment with meticulous attention to detail. If you're looking for an orthodontic practice that combines exceptional service with outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Suri and her team.
Komal is highly trained and experienced. Thanks for trusting us
Fantastic experience: I have been treated by Dr Komal Suri at the Orthodontic Specialist to correct some very poor work from the past. After this bad experience, Dr. Suri has been helping me to resolve a number of issues. I am more than satisfied with her work, she is a perfectionist and everything she does is beautifully executed. In addition she always listens very carefully to understand my needs and is very patient when working to satisfy me. And she has a wonderful warm heart! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you so much for the feedback
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend enough! We first visited in February with my daughter who was only 2 I had a lot of concerns even though she was too young dr decker reassured me with a plan for the future. I decided to get in contact again and we saw Carole again yesterday, I can’t thank her enough for her professionalism and kind welcome. My 3 year old felt so comfortable and listened to Carole’s instructions. Carole also reassured me that I’m doing everything I can possibly for my daughter and had a plan again for when she's a bit older. I will keep recommending your practise to everyone possible. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again next year xx
Hi Victoria. Thank you for the feedback. Prevention starts early. Carol our myofunctional therapist is amazing.

We give them 5 Stars,Lorena and Mauro Perucchetti
Thank you so much. We really appreciate having you as our patients. We are all artists in our own way. Love xx
Fantastic experience: My experience with Komal has always been amazing. I was not able to get Invisalign in time for my wedding as I would have needed an operation first. However, Komal made sure my teeth looked exactly how I wanted them with composite bonding and I couldn't be happier! A lovely clinic with super friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Hi. Thank you so much. We hope you had a lovely day.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at this practice. Dr.Steffen and Dr.Komal were professional and personable, setting a high standard of care. The nurses, particularly Ava, Ana, and Emma, were exceptional—always kind and dedicated to providing the best care. The entire team took the time to explain everything thoroughly and were consistently kind and helpful. I highly recommend this practice for their outstanding service and compassionate care.
Thank you so much. We are very proud of our team
Fantastic experience: Hand down the best orthodontist in the UK.
Thank you so much

Thank you Steve. If I would be a golfer like you I would be a pro
Fantastic experience: Always very professional, and utilising latest technology
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Our journey started June 2023 for my teenager's orthodontic treatment alternative to Jaw surgery. Dr.Decker on first consultation said' Trust me, I know what am doing'. He explained the process, gave me time to think over it and reassurance he would look after my teenager. He always gave clear instructions, explained rationale and emphasized how important it was to follow his directions to achieve end results. His fantastic team Dr.Suri ,Ana, Dr Hamlawy, Louise for reassuring and explaining what they were going to do. Becky,Heather &Alex for co-ordinating and promptly communicating. Heartfelt gratitude to entire Orthodontic Specialist,Amersham team for doing what they do and making a difference .
Hi Shaila. What an emotional day for you. Your daughter has an amazing smile without jaw surgery. It wasn’t easy but we made it. Congratulations. Enjoy the apples.
Fantastic experience: My teenage daughter had a pronounced overbite, so bad that she was being treated by a NHS orthodontist for free. My father was a retired dentist, he thought the lack of progress with the NHS dentist after 3 years was worrying so we came to Dr Decker. He and Dr Suri examined my daughter and proposed a treatment plan. I discussed it with my father, wife and daughter and decided to go ahead. A few years later she now has excellent teeth. There's one that's not erupted, Dr Suri and Dr Decker have exposed it and are pulling it down into place as it's stopped descending of its own accord. I discussed my daughter's treatment frequently with my dad before he passed away. I was able to share the Invisalign treatment plans with him. He was impressed with the technology but more impressed with the treatment and explanations we'd been given by Dr Decker. I can't recommend this practice enough, they're great.
Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that my valued colleagues say that. I am really sorry to hear about the passing. We will finish this together for your dad
Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic service, we have used the Orthodontist Specialist twice for our children and we are very pleased with the results. Steffen and his team are professional and great with the children.
Thank you so much for this nice review. Really happy we could help you
Positive experience: Excellent for Adults and Children Stephen Mason
Hi Joan. Thank you for your review. We were wondering if you actually have been in our practice. We are excellent for adults and children but why not give us a 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: This Specialist Dental practice is sensational, apart from being a beautiful practice, the levels of expertise and care provided by the team cannot be beaten - every team member is at the very top of their game. I can highly recommend them - Many thanks to Komal, Carole and Becky.
Hi Luke. Thank you so much for the feedback. We invested a lot of time in our education and are proud of it. We want the best for our patients. Xxx
Fantastic experience: The best dentist. Such a friendly team. My daughter also coming along with me and leaves with a massive smile everytime.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Dr. Steffan and the incredible team at The Orthodontic Specialist in Amersham! My daughter recently completed her Invisalign treatment with Dr. Steffan, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Her smile has been transformed, and she couldn't be happier with the outcome. From the moment we walked into the clinic, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Steffan took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment plan and answer all of our questions, putting us at ease right away. Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated a level of expertise and precision that is truly commendable. It's clear that he is not only passionate about his work but also dedicated to achieving the best possible results for his patients. But it's not just Dr. Steffan who deserves praise; the entire team at The Orthodontic Specialist is outstanding. From the friendly receptionists to the skilled technicians, everyone we encountered was caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in my daughter's journey to a beautiful smile. If you're considering orthodontic treatment for yourself or a loved one, look no further than The Orthodontic Specialist in Amersham. Dr. Steffan and his team have perfected the art of orthodontics, and I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care they provided. Thank you for giving my daughter the confidence to smile brighter than ever!
Wow. Thank you so much. It really makes me emotional to read this as we put our soul and heart into the care for our patients. We are very lucky to have found a team that shares the same passion. Really grateful
Fantastic experience: A great professional friendly practice
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: True to his word, Stefan straightened out my front teeth in 3 1/2 months. I’m so excited to have my brace out! They guided me along the way, always professional and friendly- the whole team are fabulous- would highly recommend.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Dr. Decker and his team are lovely and their technology and experience are truly cutting edge. I know I'm getting the very best treatment in the industry. As an adult, getting lingual incognito braces wasn't easy, but after only 2 months in, I can already see such a difference. I am eagerly awaiting the end result and can't wait to see my new smile, the smile I've always wanted.
Thank you so much for nice feedback. Having lingual braces can be uncomfortable to start with but after a while you get used to it. The efficiency on the other hand is not comparable with other techniques
Fantastic experience: A great experience as always. Thank you for being such a caring team.
Thank you so much. It is so nice to have met you
Fantastic experience: Our experience with The Orthodontic Specialist has been nothing short of amazing. Stephan is so competent with so much knowledge. We saw a massive improvement on my son’s teeth and we are confident it was the right thing to start his treatment early. Thank you The Orthodontic Specialist!
Thank you for trusting in us.
Fantastic experience: The Orthodontic Specialist was highly recommended to me for my 8yr old daughter by her dentist Dr Sophia Malik. At our first consultation we met Becky and Dr Komal Suri who showed us down to the lounge waiting area. It was beautifully designed and laid out with children in mind to keep them relaxed. They both have a wealth of knowledge and are passionate about the treatments this clinic offers. Talking to Dr Komal Suri really puts you at ease about all aspects of interventional children dentistry. She understands the NHS and societies opinions regarding early intervention. She is a breath of fresh air in the space. Our consultation with Dr Steffen Decker was comprehensive. He has a wholistic approach to all treatments he offers and asked detailed in-depth questions regarding overall health and wellbeing. We trusted him implicitly after seeing his approach. Ava Azim is an absolute superstar, she took all my daughter’s images and has the gentlest demeanour. On the fitting day, we met more members of the team. From the offset you can immediately tell they are all experts in their field and work in total harmony with each other. In all honesty, the fitting day was intense. There is a lot to get done, and I don’t think we would have got through it without Ava and Becky. They both concentrated on my daughter with genuine care. They made her feel safe and went at her speed, which was important. My daughter has not stopped talking about Becky and Ava since her last visit, and wants to especially thank them two for really caring and looking after her.
Ah. That’s nice. Our team is selected and only the most amazing people are allowed to join. We are very proud of them
Fantastic experience: great customer service ..very professional and knowledgeable staff Komal and team are very friendly and helpful .Highly recommending this dental surgery and team 10/10
Thank you
Fantastic experience: This is such a lovely place to come to - very relaxing but so professional and competent in all the areas of dentistry I have required.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: The whole experience with Dr Decker and his team was fantastic! Firstly the clinic was fresh and inviting and all the staff we dealt with were brilliant. Dr Decker was a pure character who has a wealth of knowledge and experience and instantly puts you at ease and fills you with confidence. He tells you exactly how it is, with his funny and direct manner and my daughter loved him! The service was so efficient that my daughter’s brace came off quicker than we expected and the technology they have there is second to none. I found it to cost not much more than privately on the NHS but with no wait times and more choice of appointment times also which is handy if you don’t want your children to miss school. We are more than happy with the results from Dr Decker and his team at The Orthodontist Specialist and would definitely recommend….actually, already have done! Thank you!
Ah. Thank you so much. We love the smile and we are so happy you love it too. Thanks for recommending us. That means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience from start to finish. Steffen is a real professional and perfectionist. He tweaked my daughter's treatment plan a few times to ensure that her teeth not only looked straight but that her bite was also perfect. Fantastic experience.
Thank you. I am a perfectionist and always try to push for a perfect result. Thanks for your feedback
Negative experience: Quoted £95 for a consultation about Invisalign which most other invisalign dentists provide for free or at least include that fee in the final price. **In response to the practices reply. I informed your receptionist that I already had an OPG, which I said I could bring to the appointment. Something that would make your £95 xray unnecessary. I was also told it was a consultation fee NOT a fee for imaging, so maybe you should ensure your front of house is giving out correct information. But thank you so much for your concern in how I value my health, what a professional response to feedback.***
Hi Hannah, thank you for your comment. Just FYI we’re not Invisalign dentists, we’re a specialist practice. There is a difference between a general dentist and a specialist orthodontist.
The £95 is actually for the x-ray that is taken without which we cannot diagnose the problems.
Heads up- if others are not charging, they are either not doing their diagnostics properly or do not value their own skill and knowledge. It’s a shame that you don’t
value your health enough to spend £95 on the correct diagnostics. Good luck on your journey to straight teeth. Please come at least to our clinic before giving us a one star review!
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the experience, I was made to feel at and felt all comfortable with the staff and treatment as well. I want especially thank Dr Komal Suri who made me feel at ease, Dr Suraj Vashit did an excellent job on my implants, when fitting I didn’t feel any pain. Also want to thank Dr. Hamera Hussain for my sedation where I didn’t feel any pain during the treatment. After care is really good.
Hi Priti, thank you for your review. We always try to make everyone feel as comfortable and at ease as possible because we know the dentist can be a daunting place to visit.
We look forward to your future visits and to seeing you again:))
Best wishes
Komal Suri
Fantastic experience: Very professional, knowledgeable Dr Decker , great approach to my neurodivergent son and most of all fantastic results in straightening my 8 year old son’s teeth using Invisalign! I highly recommend his clinic!
Thank you so much for the feedback. We love early intervention
Fantastic experience: Steffen and team have been wonderful, with me and with my children. I am so grateful.
Thank you so much. It has been a journey
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! I have never felt so at ease and reassured with regards to my teeth. Steffen and Komal have a wealth of knowledge and experience and it shows. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable and rectifying another cowboy dentist's work. I can't recommend this practice enough!!
Ah that’s nice. We loved having you. We will find a good solution for you to get the smile you deserve
Fantastic experience: I travelled specifically out of London due to several recommendations for The Orthodontic Specialist and to see Carole. A trip very well spent and excellent results, passing a very high recommendation forward to anyone looking for a fantastic hygenist.
Ah. Thank you so much. Carol is the best hygienist and myofunctional therapist we could wish for. Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Dr Steffen was professional and gentle when explaining to my 9 years old daughter what was needed - she now has a beautiful smile and will not need any teeth removed. As he says the earlier the best...could not recommend the clinic enough. Wishing everyone at the clinic all the very best....
Prevention is the key for so many things. We try to avoid severe malocclusions or even tooth extractions. As well the health is so important
Fantastic experience: The Best!!!! Up to date technology, everything super efficient and professional. Staff extremely friendly and will undoubtedly provide customer satisfaction. If you are looking for perfect, there is only one orthodontic specialist.
Thank you so much Chris. Your smile looks amazing
Fantastic experience: Kind and considerate service as always - a truly professional team
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Always had excellent treatment from the dentists and the nurses. Professional, caring and extremely competent.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: My daughter Ava was told by the NHS she needed an 8 hour operation involving breaking her jaw to fix things so I took matters into my own hands. Thankfully I was referred to Steffan who is a miracle worker and absolute genius. In little over a year he has transformed her teeth and smile. Thanks Steffan, you are a total legend!
Ah thank you so much. Ava looks absolutely amazing. A game changer
Fantastic experience: I can't praise this clinic highly enough. After a truly disastrous experience at another local orthodontist a friend recommended this centre after being treated by Steffen. And how right she was. Both he and Komal are highly professional individuals with extensive knowledge in their field. I was immediately reassured by their friendly and kind approach and felt all my concerns were carefully listened to and considered. A plan was formulated and following treatment by both Steffan and some cosmetic dentistry by Isabella my teeth have been transformed. Attending this clinic is truly a pleasure with its attractive surroundings, state of the art equipment and warm and welcoming team. Look no further if you want an outstanding orthodontic practice.
Thank you so much. We tried our best to invest in our staff and equipment to make sure we can offer the best care. Your smile is stunning
Fantastic experience: The professionalism of Dr Decker and quality of service are outstanding. The whole team is very friendly. We are very happy - thank you.
Thank you so much. We educate our team consistently and try to give our patients a different experience
Fantastic experience: Technical excellence, outstanding results and service, delivered with the outmost integrity and genuine commitment to patients' care. I am absolutely delighted with the results of my lingual braces and grateful for the care, attention, and humour which Dr Decker and his team consistently offered throughout my treatment. I felt in very safe hands right from the start and would highly recommend The Orthodontic Specialist.
Ah. It was such a pleasure to treat you. You did amazingly well and your smile is outstanding. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I thought this place was great. I had to change from another orthodontist (in another country) to The Orthodontic Specialist halfway through my Invisalign treatment because I moved, but I'm actually glad it worked out this way - I had such a better experience with The Orthodontic Specialist! All the staff are lovely and were endlessly patient with me having to bring my baby with me to my early appointments. The new premises are really nice, they seem to have all the latest tech - no negatives come to mind at all. My main orthodontist was Dr David Raickovic (amazing) who has now moved, but I had my last appointments with Dr Decker who was great too. If you're going to invest in orthodontic work, make sure you go to a place like this.
So happy we could help with your treatment
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience with the team at the Orthodontic specialist. I saw Steffen for lingual braces and although my teeth took longer to move than normal (due to how my teeth naturally were) Steffen was most patient, and I never felt rushed with all the added time I needed with extra appointments. Even when my braces were removed, Komul ensured everything was perfect with a few minor adjustments, which further enhanced my smile. I am very happy with my teeth and there has been a huge improvement in my before and after. Steffen and Komul have done an amazing job on my smile and I am extremely grateful for such a great experience. I have been getting many compliments on my smile so thank you both very much!
Hi Shivani. Thank you so much for the nice review. What a journey it was. I am so happy you love your smile. Absolutely stunning smile. Enjoy
Fantastic experience: My son couldn't be happier with his invisalign braces, which produced a beautiful result relatively quickly and effortlessly. I was happy to not be presented with an invoice after each appointment, even when Dr Decker decided to order a new set of aligners to improve something that didn't quite meet his high standards.
That’s so nice. I will always give all treatment options and try to save every tooth I can. So happy it worked out. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Stephan and his team continue to be fabulous. The treatment can be uncomfortable, having a team supporting you way they do really helps. The results are worth it.
That’s very kind. It is not always an easy journey but certainly efficient.thank you so much for this feedback.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience of lingual braces under the care of Dr Steffan. Great guy and great team supporting him! Also great innovation introducing remote monitoring using mobile phone scans of your mouth so that treatment progress can be tracked - really cutting edge!
Thank you so much. Teamwork makes our dream work. Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Steffen, Komal and the entire team are caring, dedicated and excellent in what they do.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I was in a real state of despair - not knowing where to turn next for help. After many years of seeing different dentists and having numerous dentistry work done with bad results, I was seriously losing faith with any Dentist. Secondly I subscribed to an online aligner company to help straighten my teeth. It was a complete disaster as a tooth cracked near the front. Thankfully, a family member had been seeing Komal Suri and Stefan Decker and it was suggested to go and see them. Well, walking into the clinic alone made me feel totally reassured. Clean, freshly decorated, all the latest equipment, great energy and vibe. But for me the greatest of all is the staff including Komal's dental nurse, Beccy, all of whom are kind, considerate and friendly. Komal is a great communicator and totally empathetic which is really what I needed. For years the failing of my back teeth was always put done to a bad diet. Which was astonishing as yes i have sugar in my diet but not to the extent my teeth would suffer. Komal was able to properly and professionally diagnose my issue. I cannot stress enough the relief this gave me. Finally, I had met a dentist who was fully educated enough to give me an advanced dental plan, instant correction solution and FAITH! I will now also be starting my Invisalign journey with them. It was a lovely surprise to find out they are also the number 1 Invisalign Orthodontist specialists in the UK!!!! I feel its important to leave a long review to help so many people out there who have been failed by their Dentists in the past. I hope this helps you x
What lovely sentiments Claudia. It is a pleasure seeing you when you come to practice. I am so pleased you have chosen us for your dental journey.
Beccy says thanksgiving for the mention.
Xx
Fantastic experience: Komal and her team are just amazing! I have had quite a lot of dental work done, and have always been confident that I have had the best possible treatment, carried out with the best possible care. Becky (dental nurse) has been there on nearly all of my appts, offering support and kindness at every stage, for which I am so grateful. They have given me back my smile and confidence, and I cannot thank them enough!
Thank you so much for your review Jane, Beccy will be really pleased that you have found her so supportive and helpful. Can’t wait to see your dazzling smile !!
Komal xx
Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience. Dr Decker and Dr Komal are very professional and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much. We really appreciate your feedback
Fantastic experience: Both our children are in treatment with Dr Decker and his team. We have experienced a supportive, knowledgeable and modern team with different experts all at our service. Our children (9 and 7) love to go to their appointments (!) and within 4 months, our sons underbite has been sorted out! Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you so much. The progress is amazing. Keep going.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding, the whole team are lovely. I started in late august and was finish by mid October! Absolutely amazing!! So happy with my smile
That’s really nice. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: As always, friendly, professional and delivering excellent clinical care. I’ve been a client of this team for nearly 20 years and have never had a reason to consider another practice.
Hi Ruth. Thank you so much for this review. Dr Komal created an amazing team and we care for all of our patients. It shows that patients stay with us for a long time
Fantastic experience: I’m petrified of dentists!! But at the orthodontic Specialist they really listen to your fears, take you seriously and put you at ease. I have had days of anxiety leading up to treatment, but on the day they make me feel calm, talk me through each procedure and makes it painless and almost enjoyable!! The restults definitely make up for the anxiety! Would highly recommend their professionalism and friendly approach they adopt every time I visit the practice
Thank you so much. One of the qualities needs to be to listen to the needs of our patients. So happy you enjoyed it
Fantastic experience: Amazing results and an outstanding experience. My son's teeth look fantastic. We really appreciated the professionalism, time and care that went into the treatment from start to finish......and the aftercare too. Absolutely brilliant, we definitely rate Dr Decker as the best orthodontist.
Thank you so much. This means a lot to me. We care for all of our patients and try to get the best results at all times. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: My 15 years old sons orthodontic treatment is still ongoing and in matter of months I cannot believe the difference ..We could not be happier ! Thank you Dr Decker
Thank you so much. Really happy you see the results already. Can’t wait for the final smile
Fantastic experience: My 13 year old daughter has just finished her Invisalign treatment. I am really pleased with the result. She hasn't got any teeth decay which was my only concern for this treatment. Thank you Dr Decker and your Hygienist!
Thank you so much for choosing us. We love treating teenagers with Invisalign as it’s a very nice journey. Enjoy your smile
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Decker and his team. My daughter has just completed her orthodontic treatment and is now so proud of her smile she is happy to show her teeth in photographs and is absolutely delighted with the result. Treatment started when she was around the age of 10, expanding her jaws so that she required no extractions, something that was very important to us. She persevered for a little while with that stage of the treatment before finally starting Invisalign treatment which is incredible. The technology involved is amazing, the treatment no where near as invasive as other approaches to orthodontics and it works like magic. Dr Decker is also very friendly, clearly puts his patients at ease just as his colleagues do too. I wholeheartedly recommend his skills as an orthodontist, an approachable dentist and the skills and support of his team as well. Thank you!
Hi Mary, you are most welcome. It has been a pleasure! To transform smiles without extractions is so rewarding to both parents, children and us.
We are so glad you have been happy with our service.
Best wishes
The TOS team
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best dentist and orthodontics in the UK (that I know) not only are they experts in their field but always utilising the latest technology to provide excellent outcomes for their customers. Add to that the fantatstic personalities of each of the team, they put you at ease with any treatmernt they undertake, which makes this the only practice that my family will ever use. I have no hesitation in recommeding this practice, simply superb.
Thank you so much. Innovation is key and we try to offer the latest technology and research to our patients. Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and treatment. My 9 year old started with a tiny mouth and teeth very crowded. 6 months later and they are beautifully straight. To get this sorted so young is just incredible - our regular dentist has been really impressed.
Ah. That’s nice. Early intervention is so important and powerful. So happy we could help. Enjoy
Fantastic experience: Komal and Steffen are always gentle, very kind and helpful. This, combined with their expertise makes them my first choice for my whole family.
Thank you so much for these kind words. Komal and I are a good team and we will always try to treat our patients that way. Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Dr Decker has been fantastic, very professional, calming with our daughter who was nervous and left after 36 weeks with superbly perfect teeth.
The teeth look amazing. Well done and thanks for the trust
Fantastic experience: Great service, very professional
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Dr Decker was a great find! I had been told by other orthodontists that my daughter would require having four teeth pulled, but he assured me this was not the case, and it was actually far more desirable not to remove them! She has started treatment here, and we are both so pleased with this orthodontic practice.
Ah. Thank you so much. We try to avoid extraction of teeth. That’s why we like early interceptive treatment from the age of 7. Glad we could help
Fantastic experience: It’s an amazing Dentist I don’t think you will find Anywhere Better
Thank you so much for this nice review
Fantastic experience: From the moment I called to make an appointment for my consultation right to the very end of my treatment, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for more. Every single person I met were incredibly kind, welcoming, and comforting. Having spent a lifetime being embarrassed by my teeth and many many unpleasant experiences with dentists, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience at The Orthodontist Specialist. My results are perfect - so much more than I could ever have hoped for. what Dr Komal and Dr Steffen has done for me is life changing. My outlook and how I present myself outwardly has changed for the better already and I know it will only continue to improve. Thank you so very much - you are all amazing and I will forever be grateful to you.
Asma we are very happy that you had a good experience with us. Keep smiling and thank you so much for these kind words
Fantastic experience: Very professional and personal service. The Orthodontic Specialist saved us cost by recommending not to proceed with invisalign (which had been recommended by another dentist) and instead to use a less invasive approach. We are very happy with the outcome and the results are excellent.
Thank you so much for the review. It is very important to us to give all the options and not to sell treatment. Our job is to educate you and give you different options. so happy we could help.
Fantastic experience: I wasn't a frequent flyer as far as dentistry goes but i will be from now on. The practice itself is great with a very calming atmosphere and the staff are wonderful, thorough and professional. I was complaining about making an emergency appointment for an abscess I had to a customer in the cafe where I work when Komal walked in. I was seen roughly an hour later. Both the advice and options the were given were explained thoroughly and easily. The following 2 appointments I've had since with the hygienist have been, as far as dental treatment can be, amazing. It may seem like an exaggeration but this place really has made me feel very differently about going to the dentist. Thank you.
Ah. That’s nice to be appreciated by other business owners in the area. Really happy you like our new practice. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Fantastic orthodontist, absolutely delighted with the results for my son. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Your son looks amazing. What a change.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic outcome for my daughter after having her braces & now retainers fitted by Stefan. Very professional with the latest equipment & techniques. She is delighted with her smile. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. So happy I could make your daughter smile. See you soon for the retainer check. Best
Fantastic experience: The best orthodontist in the country. My wife and daughter have both had Invisalign treatment with Dr Steffen. They are very happy with the service, treatment plan and result. The new practice in Amersham is super impressive. Thank you!
Ah. Thank you so much. We put a lot of love into it. So happy you like it
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Steffen as an orthodontist and as a person. As to the former, he is too modest to speak of how highly qualified and regarded he is within his field. With lingual braces he totally transformed my crossbite which has had a genuinely profound effect on my daily life and comfort, not to mention my smile. He went above and beyond to discuss the considerations involved and ensure that the process went as smoothly as possible. As well as his professional credentials, Steffen has extraordinary compassion and positivity - both of which are a great comfort as his patient (and, I imagine, to parents seeking treatment for their children). It is clear that the welfare of his patients, and the quality of the service he provides, are what matters most to him. Steffen is also a remarkably good judge of character, and he is carefully assembling a team around him that will all be able to perform to his exacting standards from within the wonderfully renovated new clinic. Steffen, Komal and the entire team have been superb, and I would urge anyone considering orthodontic treatment to look no further.
Hi. Thank you so much for these kind words. It means everything to us that patients recognise this. We worked very hard to deliver this service and our patients are really important to us. Your smile shows that we did it right. My team is great and I am so happy. Enjoy your smile. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I have recently finished having Invisalign treatment at the Orthodontist Specialist. My experience here was amazing - lovely, comfortable, and modern waiting area, friendly reception team, and beyond excellent treatment and service from Steffen, Komal, and David. Made going to the dentist a very enjoyable experience! Went beyond my expectations. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for this nice review. Your smile is amazing
Fantastic experience: Steffen was amazing. I went to three orthodontist before I met Steffen, I was recommended by a friend, the moment I met him I knew I was in professional, straightforward hands, he gave me every confidence I was going to have the perfect smile that would look naturally shaped to my face. I started treatment straight away and within in 8 months I had the perfect teeth. I could not recommend him enough.
Hi Victoria. It was so nice having you as my patient. Your energy was great and I always had a laugh. See you soon
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Steffen and his colleagues at the beginning of this year for the treatment of my 12 year old sons teeth. I am extremely nervous of dentists and I was looking actively for a while to find someone who could help straighten my sons teeth. I am so happy we went with the orthodontic specialist, my son has had an extremely successful treatment plan with Invisalign. My son was fully informed with the instructions and plan. Sadly just before treatment my son had an accident at school which involved him losing his front tooth - I was absolutely devastated and kept having nightmares about the whole situation. I felt nervous about telling Steffen what had happened but he was so reassuring and kind and came up with a plan that could work alongside the treatment plan. It boosted my sons confidence hugely as he is a massive football fan and loves to play. We are now coming to the end of the treatment and I couldn’t be happier. My son has a new front tooth, beautiful straight teeth and he is such a happy boy. Thank you so so much for the whole team for what you have done - I couldn’t of asked for any more. I will be seeking treatment with my daughter next. Thanks again and filling me with trust and hope for my sons teeth.
You are so welcome. It is so important our patients are happy and we will try everything in our power to achieve happiness. It makes me emotional to know that your son gains in confidence. Thanks for your trust. All the best. See you soon for the retainer review
Fantastic experience: Dr Steffen and the work he does is truly incredible. I had my initial consultation with Steffen and Komal and instantly knew that I wanted to go ahead with the treatment. He is professional, knowledgeable and you can really be sure he is doing the best job for your teeth. I had quite bad over crowding and had a treatment of lingual braces and am absolutely over the moon with the results. The whole process was seamless and much faster than I expected. I've always been very self conscious of my teeth and am so happy to be able to smile with confidence now. I cannot recommend Dr Steffen enough. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!
That is so nice. Your smile is truly stunning. Enjoy. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I had one tooth overlapping on the bottom and Steffen fitted Lingual braces on them. I wasn’t sure about having the work done for so long but I’m so glad I gave them a try and it’s the best thing ever, the whole process was shorter than I could have imagined and I’ve got amazing results. I couldn’t recommend Steffen enough he’s throughly professional, does his job well and makes you feel at ease.
Hi Anjali it was really nice treating you. Sometimes teeth move quicker than expected. So happy you like the result. Keep smiling. See you soon
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Dr Steffen and his fantastic team enough! Rest assured that you and your teeth are in the best possible hands- following a few months of incognito braces, the results are better than I could have ever imagined! Thank you so much Steffen and Komal for your kind, caring and professional service.
We are so happy for you. It was such a pleasure to treat you. See you very soon for our big event
Fantastic experience: Absolutely over the moon with my new smile. Dr Decker was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My lingual braces were off in 6 months and results are incredible, Dr Decker and the team are incredibly friendly and professional and I would highly recommend to anyone. I finally can smile after years of being so conscious of my teeth, thank you so so much!
Thank you Emily for the review. Your smile is beautiful. Enjoy
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Steffen in July 2020, after c.20 years of being told surgery was the only way to fix my malocclusion & large / deep open bite. The introduction was made by another Dr. who kindly (and very rightly!) rejected my request for veneers without fixing the bite first. I went to see Steffen without much hope (as I wouldn't consider surgery). He introduced me to Incognito Braces and we planned my treatment, to include elastics to close the bite. Today - 12 month later in August 2021, I am out of braces and with a perfect bite. I cannot say enough how much of an artist and talented individual he is. I am so grateful to him for not just my new smile but also my breathing, which improved hugely. Best decision I ever made. Thanks Steffen!
I was such a pleasure to transform your smile. I can’t wait to see the final result. Without your compliance this result wouldn’t be possible. Well done
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the treatment provided by Dr Decker. Thanks so much for your professionalism and expertise. As a dentist myself, I am careful about the dental treatment that I receive, but I would have no hesitation in recommending you.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the opinion of likeminded colleagues
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Steffen enough! Always felt so well looked after and so happy with the way my teeth look now
Thank you so much. Just in time for your big day. See you soon xxx
Fantastic experience: I’m super happy with the results from Incognito braces fitted by Steffen, combined with a few final touches from Komal it took only a few months for a complete transformation. They take into consideration your natural teeth, all angles and jaw movements resulting in my teeth looking perfect for me. Would defo recommend their informative and professional service
Thank you so much. We loved having you and your doggy around. Looking forward to see you soon
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a great dentist to straighten my teeth before my wedding. My first thought was to look for a dentist in London although I wasn’t local because in my mind that’s where the best Dentists would be! I went to the Chelsea Dental Clinic who performed an assessment and said I needed to see an orthodontist, I asked them to refer me to the best and they gave me the Instagram for The Orthodontic Specialist. I sent the team an in mail on Instagram and the next day I saw them in Amersham! I met Dr Steffen and Dr Komal who assessed my teeth and talked me through my options, the recommendation was Lingual braces, this was due to the fact that this type of brace works the fastest, gives the best results and you can’t see it as the brace sits on the back of your teeth! I gave them pretty tight timelines for completion to start with but mid way through treatment I told them we were also moving abroad before we were due to finish and they were awesome and assured me my teeth would be finished before I left! They scheduled my visits frequently enough to achieve my goal and true to their word they are off ahead of schedule and my teeth are perfect! We enjoyed our trips to Amersham, it was very easy to get to and much more convenient then going in and out of London. Dr Steffen and Dr Komal themselves are brilliant, I trusted them the whole process, they are perfectionists and what more can you ask from your Orthodontist. I couldn’t recommend the team enough. Thank you again!
Ah. That’s really lovely. We are so happy to see you smile ready for your big day. We wish you all the best for your exciting future. Hopefully see you soon. Keep in touch. xxx
Fantastic experience: Dr Steffen was amazing. I had braces when i was younger and my teeth had moved. I came to Dr Steffen for Bilingual Braces and it was the best decision of my life! It has changed my confidence and i am getting loads of compliments on my smile too. No one could even tell i had braces on during the treatment. It only took 3 months and they were off and i had the smile i wanted I cant thank him enough! He is amazing! I highly recommend Dr Steffen.
Hi Sim. It was a real pleasure for me treating you. Your smile is just mesmerising. Will keep on following you to see your smile. Enjoy
Fantastic experience: Such brilliant service. Incredibly knowledgable and very reassuring team who have given me amazing results. Invisalign is so discrete which gives me a lot of confidence when meeting people face to face (and on Zoom!). I'd highly recommend anyone getting Invisalign to also ask Steffen for the whitening foam for aligners - perfectly straight teeth whilst also whitening them is all I could ask for! Highly recommend.
Hi Ben. Glad you enjoy our whitening foam. It works incredibly well. Can wait to see the end result.
Fantastic experience: My treatment with Steffen has been amazing from the very first appointment! My upper teeth are now finished and I'm so so happy with them, he's done a brilliant job!! My lower teeth are still being fixed with the lingual brace but are heading in the right direction - I've felt 100% confident throughout the whole process because Steffen is the best and I can't recommend him highly enough!
Thank you so much Mikki. Really value your feedback. Let’s get cracking with the lower. See you soon. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Having just finished top and bottom incognito braces, I’m so pleased I chose Dr Steffan. His knowledge and passion for orthodontics was clear in all of my appointments, which gave me great confidence in him. Dr Steffan was always there to help at any time I needed, quickly resolving any queries. Thank you Dr Steffen, I’m very happy with the results.
Ah. Thank you. Am really happy I could help you. Hopefully see you soon
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for all your care. I am really pleased with the result. I was apprehensive at first but Steffen and Komal were very reassuring and answered all my questions. It took a couple of weeks to get used to the brace but the fast results made it all worthwhile. Today I had the brace removed and I now have a retainer which feels fine and is invisible. Amazing! I’m so glad I made the decision to do this. My crooked front tooth had bothered me for so long. Thank you.
Hi Jo. Really happy I could help you. It was very nice meeting you. Please stay safe and keep smiling. All the best
