Is Teeth Straightening Right For You?
Teeth straightening may be suitable if you have crowding, spacing, mild bite irregularities, rotations or movement after previous treatment. Many adults and older teens from Fryerning choose care to support easier cleaning, feel more confident day to day or to prepare for other cosmetic treatment.
Suitability can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment that considers your oral health, gum condition, tooth positions and lifestyle factors. If clear aligners are being considered, commitment to wear schedules is important. Where a different orthodontic approach would be more appropriate, we will explain this clearly, outline realistic timelines and confirm next steps after your examination.

Frequently Asked Questions

In some cases, limited alignment focusing on the front teeth may be possible. Suitability depends on your bite, gum health and the stability of any proposed movement. After assessment, your dentist will explain what is realistic and whether a localised plan could work for you.

Please contact the practice as soon as you can. Wearing a retainer as advised helps maintain your result, so replacing or repairing it promptly reduces the risk of unwanted movement. We will advise on the next steps and arrange an appointment where needed.
