About Dr Aliki Tsichlaki

Hello, I am Dr Aliki Tsichlaki. I am a GDC-registered specialist orthodontist – orthodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with straightening teeth and correcting the bite, in both children and adults.

I qualified from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Dental Hospital in 2008, then trained in oral and maxillofacial surgery and paediatric dentistry before completing specialist orthodontic training at the University of Manchester, gaining my MOrth from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2014 alongside a Master of Research with distinction. I was awarded a British Orthodontic Society prize for clinical excellence in 2014, and completed my PhD at Queen Mary University of London in 2020.

Alongside clinical practice, I am an Associate Professor and Honorary Consultant in Orthodontics at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, and Deputy Programme Director for the MClinDent in Orthodontics, supervising postgraduate trainees. My research focuses on how orthodontic treatment is measured and on prioritising what matters most to patients.

At Thames Dental and Skin, my focus is considered, well-planned orthodontics for children and adults – improving how teeth function and look, using the most discreet approach suited to each case.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m relatively new to Thames Dental, and I have to say I’ve been completely blown away by the professionalism from start to finish – from reception through to the chair.

I’ve never had such a thorough consultation, and I felt so at ease the entire time. Together, we created a treatment plan that suits my needs, and I’ve opted for the 0% interest finance option, which is a fantastic solution.

I’m so happy with my experience so far and can’t wait for my next appointment!

See you soon

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So so pleased to have found Theadore! She’s changed my life! I was on the verge of getting a facelift and she’s given me a comprehensive plan of products and treatments that have made me look and feel so much better! Completely different to anyone  I have seen before, Theadore really looks at the long term plan rather than a quick fix (although I felt better after just one visit!) - can’t recommend more highly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been coming to Theodora for the last 9/10 years for various things. I first came for an implant and had a great experience!
I now come to see Theodora for more pleasurable things and have had some great and rewarding results. The time and care taken is another level, you never feel rushed and always given time to express concerns and talk about what you’d like to change and how you feel about your face. Aging is something we can’t help, but we can give it a smoother transition making us feel more rejuvenated and confident in ourselves. This is definitely what Theodora provides. Giving a full assessment and then a plan moving forward to help over the space of a year or so. The thing that also helps is you can choose from what is suggested and work at your own pace. All done with care and attention by a lovely friendly team! Highly recommended!
Thank you…

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An exceptional experience - where dentistry meets real, holistic healthcare

I had a consultation with Dr. Theodora Bravis, and it was genuinely one of the best healthcare experiences I've had. Beyond excellent dental advice, what truly set her apart was her holistic approach to my overall health. Dr. Theodora took the time to look beyond my teeth and consider my wellbeing with a holistic approach. Her knowledge of functional medicine helped me address issues I had been struggling with, and the improvement in my overall wellbeing has been remarkable.
The clinic itself is beautiful and welcoming, and the whole team, from reception to practitioners, is warm, professional, and genuinely attentive to the patient. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, and you always feel well looked after.
If you're looking for a practice that treats you as a whole person, look no further. Thames Dental & Skin offers truly outstanding care. Highly, highly recommended.

How Aliki can help

Well-planned orthodontics does more than straighten teeth - it corrects how the bite works, which protects the teeth from uneven wear over a lifetime. Whether you've been referred, you're considering treatment for yourself, or you're thinking about your child's teeth, each of these is a clear route to specialist care with Aliki.

Invisalign & Clear Aligners

Discreet, removable aligners for adults and teenagers - planned precisely so teeth move predictably and the bite is corrected, not just the appearance.

Fixed & Lingual Braces

Fixed braces for more complex cases, and lingual systems fitted behind the teeth where a hidden approach matters - chosen to suit the case, not a one-size solution.

Children's Orthodontics

Timely assessment as the teeth and jaws develop, so treatment begins at the right moment and works with a child's natural growth.

Complex & Multidisciplinary Cases

Planning and treatment for cases that involve other specialists - combining orthodontics with restorative or surgical care for a stable, well-functioning result.

Book consultation online

Good orthodontics is about more than straight teeth - it's about a bite that works and a result that lasts. I plan each case carefully around what matters most to the patient, and choose the most discreet approach that will genuinely do the job.

FAQs

What does Dr Tsichlaki do at Thames?

Aliki is a GDC-registered specialist orthodontist at Thames Dental and Skin, treating children and adults. Her work includes Invisalign and clear aligners, fixed and lingual braces, children's orthodontics, and complex multidisciplinary cases - planned around how your teeth function as well as how they look.

What is a specialist orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dentist with several years of additional specialist training in straightening teeth and correcting the bite. Aliki is on the GDC specialist register for orthodontics, which means she plans and treats more complex cases than general dentistry alone.

Can adults have orthodontic treatment, not just children?

Yes. Aliki treats both adults and children. Many adults choose discreet options such as Invisalign clear aligners or lingual braces fitted behind the teeth.

I've been referred for orthodontics - how do I book?

Most patients see Aliki following a referral or an initial consultation, though self-referrals are welcome. Call us on 020 8398 9466 and we'll arrange your appointment; if you've been referred, bring any details your dentist has provided.

Is Invisalign suitable for me?

Many cases suit clear aligners, but not all - it depends on how your teeth and bite need to move. Aliki will assess your teeth and recommend the most suitable approach honestly. Call 020 8398 9466 to arrange an assessment.
