Where does Deepcar Dental Care provide orthodontic treatment?
Our dentists provide orthodontic treatment, also called teeth straightening, for adults at Deepcar Dental Care, 334 Manchester Road, Deepcar, Sheffield, S36 2RH. Deepcar, a village north-west of Sheffield city centre, lies within the City of Sheffield.
What orthodontic treatment involves, from the problems it treats to retention and risks, is set out on our main page about orthodontic treatment, and our complete guide to orthodontic treatment goes further into options and timelines.
How often do orthodontic appointments usually happen?
In general, orthodontic treatment usually means a visit every few weeks, so it helps to plan the travel before you start. BOS (the British Orthodontic Society) puts the usual gap between appointments at four to ten weeks. In its words, “It is not advisable to start treatment if you know you will not be able to keep these appointments.”
As non-urgent advice, NHS guidance says to contact the team treating your braces if “your teeth are painful for more than a few days after your braces are fitted or adjusted”, if “you have braces and your gums are very red, swollen or painful”, or if “your braces are broken”.
What generally happens from the first assessment onwards is described on our page about each stage of orthodontic treatment.
Which orthodontic appliances do our dentists provide?
Appliances our dentists provide include the following, described in BOS's terms:
- Fixed metal braces.
- Ceramic braces, which are tooth-coloured.
- Lingual braces, fitted behind the teeth.
- Clear aligners, which are removable, custom-made clear plastic trays.
The practice offers orthodontics to adults only. Our dentists' orthodontic work includes mild to moderate crowding and spacing, as well as bite correction. Complex and extraction cases are assessed case by case.
Each appliance is described among the options in this section. Where more than one could suit your teeth, our guide to choosing a treatment sets out what to weigh.
If age is a concern, our page on adult orthodontic treatment covers starting later in life. Aligners have a page of their own, on clear aligners in Sheffield.

What is on the fee list for orthodontic treatment?
The current Deepcar Dental Care fee list, on which all prices are “from” prices, shows one orthodontic line:
- Clear aligners: from £1,495 per arch
The fee list does not say whether the £1,495 per arch line covers fixed metal, ceramic or lingual braces. Retainers and orthodontic consultations have no line on the fee list.
How long is the drive from Sheffield city centre?
From Sheffield city centre, the drive to Deepcar Dental Care takes around 15 minutes. Take that as the quickest time, so allow longer in traffic. Parking directly outside is free, and the practice is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible.
Because orthodontic visits repeat over the course of treatment, that drive is a regular trip rather than a one-off.
Where are travel details for Barnsley and the rest of South Yorkshire?
Barnsley and the wider county have travel pages of their own, separate from this Sheffield page. The page on orthodontics for Barnsley covers the drive from Barnsley, and orthodontic care for South Yorkshire covers other towns in the county.
Frequently asked questions
Is orthodontic treatment available on the NHS?
Not usually for adults. NHS Business Services Authority guidance says NHS orthodontic care “is not usually available for adults but may be approved on a case-by-case basis if it's needed for health reasons”. It is free under 18 where there is a clear health need, and the NHS braces page says adults usually have to pay.
Is Deepcar Dental Care within the City of Sheffield?
Yes. Deepcar is a village in the civil parish of Stocksbridge, an area that has been within the City of Sheffield since 1974, when Stocksbridge Urban District merged into the city. The village, where the practice is at 334 Manchester Road, lies in the Stocksbridge and Upper Don ward, roughly 9.5 miles north-west of Sheffield city centre.
Is the practice's S36 postcode a Sheffield one?
Yes, by post town. The practice address ends Sheffield, S36 2RH, and S36's post town is Sheffield. Districts S1 to S14 cover Sheffield's core urban area, with S1 the city centre, while S17 to S36 cover more suburban or rural areas around the city. S36 also stretches into the Barnsley council area.
How do fixed brace adjustments fit around the drive from Sheffield city centre?
Plan for a regular drive. NHS guidance says there is an appointment every 6 to 8 weeks to adjust fixed braces once they are fitted; your plan confirms your own timing. From Sheffield city centre, each trip takes around 15 minutes at the quickest, so allow longer in traffic.
Is there parking at the practice when you drive from Sheffield?
Yes. Parking directly outside Deepcar Dental Care is free, which helps when you are making repeat visits. The practice is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible. If you are driving from Sheffield, the address for your sat-nav is 334 Manchester Road, Deepcar, Sheffield, S36 2RH.
