Is Teeth Straightening Right For You?
Teeth straightening may be suitable if you would like to improve crowded, spaced or crooked teeth, or refine how your teeth meet for a more balanced bite. Suitability depends on healthy teeth and gums, your individual tooth and bite position and a commitment to follow guidance during treatment.
If clear aligners are appropriate, this includes wearing them as advised, caring for your aligners and attending review appointments. If another approach is recommended, we will explain what that involves and your day-to-day responsibilities so you can make an informed choice.
Timescales and the recommended approach can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment. During your consultation we will explain what is achievable for you, any preparatory care that may be needed and the steps involved in maintaining results with retainers.

Frequently Asked Questions
We will need to address active dental issues before starting any tooth movement. If something arises during planning, we will recommend appropriate care first, then review suitability for straightening once your mouth is healthy and stable.
Please contact the practice as soon as possible. Continuing to wear the most recent previous aligner or taking care with the appliance can help prevent unwanted movement until we see you. We will advise the safest next step after we assess the situation.
Good daily brushing and interdental cleaning are essential. If you wear aligners, remove them for meals, rinse before reinserting and clean them as directed. We will provide personalised home-care advice to help you keep your gums and teeth healthy throughout treatment.
Most people adjust quickly. You may notice a slight change in speech when an appliance is first fitted, but this often settles within a few days as your mouth adapts. Practising reading aloud at home can help you feel more confident in meetings.
Yes, but protection is important. For contact sports, a suitable mouthguard may be recommended to reduce the risk of damage to your teeth and appliance. We will advise on the best approach for your specific treatment at your assessment.
Please let us know as early as possible so we can rearrange. Regular reviews allow us to check tooth movement, make measured adjustments and keep your plan on track. We will work with you to find suitable times that fit your commitments.
