We carried out an inspection at Cygnet Orthodontics to look at the care and treatment provided to patients who used the service. During the visit we interviewed three patients and observed three treatment sessions. We spoke with four members of staff who worked at the practice and reviewed six patient's records.

The patients we spoke with were very happy with the practice. They told us “They are very good here.” They told us staff ensured they had given their consent to care and treatment in advance.

People told us that the premises were always clean and that staff were seen to wear gloves when they carried out procedures.

None of the people we spoke with had any complaints about the practice. They told us they felt they could speak to the staff if they needed to.
