05
Fitting And Instructions
If you decide to proceed, we arrange a fitting appointment. Where clinically appropriate, you may receive clear aligners with guidance on wear schedules and care, or another appliance with tailored instructions.
06
Reviews And Retainers
We monitor progress with regular appointments and, once active treatment is complete, provide retainers and clear advice to help maintain your result.
Is Teeth Straightening Right For You?
Teeth straightening may be suitable for adults and older teens with healthy teeth and gums who want to address crowding, spacing, rotations or certain bite concerns. It can also help if teeth have moved since earlier orthodontic care. The most appropriate approach and timescale vary from person to person.
Success relies on good daily oral hygiene and attending review appointments. If aligners are recommended, following the advised wear schedule is important. After a thorough in-person assessment, we will explain what is achievable for you, outline any limitations and discuss how to maintain your result with retainers.

Frequently Asked Questions
If aligners are recommended for you, they can be removed briefly for eating, drinking anything other than water and short events. They should be worn for the advised daily hours to stay on track. We will explain wear schedules and how to manage aligners discreetly at work.
In some cases, aligning the front teeth may be appropriate, but it depends on your bite, spacing and gum health. After a full assessment, we will explain whether a limited-focus plan is suitable or if a broader approach would better support long-term stability.
Many people who clench or grind can still have teeth straightening with careful planning. Please tell us about any grinding or tooth wear. We will assess your bite, discuss protective strategies and plan retainers to help maintain your result after treatment.
Contact the practice as soon as you can. Wearing a retainer helps maintain your result, so replacing or repairing it promptly is important. We will advise on interim steps and arrange an appointment to assess, remake or adjust your retainer as needed.
Extractions are not always required. We assess crowding, tooth sizes and jaw space first. Where possible, spacing techniques may be considered. If removing a tooth would be the safest route for your oral health, we will explain why and discuss options with you.
Yes, most patients continue their usual activities. If you have aligners, remove them for contact sports and store them safely, then replace them promptly. If another appliance is recommended, we will advise on suitable mouthguards or adjustments to support safe, comfortable use.
