  • Certain bite or alignment concerns
  • Teeth that are difficult to clean because of their position

Our team will assess your teeth and bite to determine which treatment options may be appropriate for you.

Braces vs Clear Aligners

Understanding the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners can help you make an informed decision about your treatment.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth to gradually move them into position.

They remain fixed throughout treatment and may be suitable for a range of orthodontic concerns.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners use a series of removable, custom-made trays to gradually move your teeth.

They offer:

  • A discreet appearance
  • Removable trays
  • No metal brackets or wires
  • Easy removal for eating and brushing
  • A convenient option for suitable adults and teenagers

The right option depends on your teeth, bite, treatment goals and individual circumstances. Our team can assess your smile and explain which treatment options may be suitable for you.

How Long Does Teeth Straightening Take?

Treatment time varies from patient to patient. The length of treatment depends on factors such as:

  • The amount of tooth movement required
  • The complexity of your case
  • Your bite and alignment
  • The treatment option selected
  • How closely treatment instructions are followed

Some clear aligner treatments may take several months, while more complex cases can take longer.

Your dentist will provide a more personalised estimate after assessing your smile.

Teeth Straightening For Adults & Teenagers

Adults

It's never too late to explore options for a more aligned smile.

Clear aligners can be particularly appealing to adults who want a discreet teeth-straightening option that fits around work, social activities and everyday life.

Teenagers

Teenagers may also benefit from teeth-straightening treatment where clinically appropriate.

Clear aligners can provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces for suitable teenagers.

Our team will assess each patient individually and recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
