Straighter teeth do more than improve your appearance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay and gum disease. They also distribute biting forces evenly, protecting your teeth from excessive wear and reducing strain on your jaw. Whether you’re concerned about crowding, gaps, or bite issues, modern orthodontics offers effective solutions for adults and teenagers alike.
Clear aligners like Invisalign have transformed teeth straightening for adults. These virtually invisible, removable trays gradually move your teeth into alignment without brackets or wires. You wear each set of custom-made aligners for around two weeks before progressing to the next, with treatment typically taking 12 to 18 months. Because aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, and brush normally throughout treatment.
For more complex cases or patients who prefer a fixed solution, we offer a range of brace systems. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your teeth for a more discreet appearance than traditional metal braces. Lingual braces are fitted behind your teeth, making them completely invisible from the front. All fixed brace options deliver precise tooth movements and predictable results.
Before any orthodontic treatment, we use digital scanning to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth. This technology allows us to plan your treatment precisely and, in many cases, show you a preview of your expected results before you begin. After treatment, retainers keep your teeth in their new positions, protecting your investment in your smile.
We offer flexible payment plans to help spread the cost of your treatment.
Our orthodontist Dr Shruti Premsagar brings specialist training and extensive experience to every case. As a qualified specialist, she understands the complexities of tooth movement and jaw alignment, ensuring your treatment is planned and executed to the highest standards for lasting results.
We offer the full spectrum of orthodontic solutions, from clear aligners to fixed braces and lingual systems. This means we can recommend the treatment best suited to your specific needs, lifestyle, and goals rather than being limited to a single approach.
Advanced digital scanning technology eliminates uncomfortable impressions and allows precise treatment planning. You can often see a simulation of your expected results before committing to treatment, giving you confidence in the outcome and helping you understand the journey ahead.
Clear aligners like Invisalign are extremely popular with adults because they’re virtually invisible and removable. However, the best option depends on your specific case. Some complex movements are better achieved with fixed braces, while lingual braces offer complete invisibility for those who prefer a fixed solution. We’ll recommend the most effective option for your needs at your consultation.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may take as little as six months, while more comprehensive treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months. Complex cases involving significant bite correction may take up to 24 months. Your orthodontist will give you a realistic timeframe during your consultation.
You may experience some discomfort when you first start treatment and after adjustments or aligner changes as your teeth begin to move. This is normal and usually settles within a few days. Most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain. Clear aligners are generally considered more comfortable than fixed braces as there are no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth.
Yes, retainers are essential for maintaining your results. After your teeth have been straightened, they naturally want to drift back towards their original positions. Wearing your retainer as prescribed, typically every night long-term, keeps your teeth in their new alignment and protects your investment in treatment.
You’re never too old to straighten your teeth. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. In fact, more adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth, with clear aligners making treatment discreet and convenient. Many of our patients are in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.
