Teeth straightening may be suitable if you have healthy teeth and gums and would like to address crowding, spacing or a mild to moderate bite concern. Many adults and older teens from the Museum of Power area choose this treatment to refine alignment for a more balanced smile or to support daily cleaning.
Your suitability depends on an in-person clinical assessment.

If a more complex case is identified, we will provide clear guidance and, when needed, refer to a specialist in your best interests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Extractions are not always required. After an in-person assessment, we will advise whether space can be created with planned movements, or whether another approach is more appropriate. We will explain all options clearly before any treatment is started.
Please contact us as soon as you can. We will advise whether to move to the next stage, revert to a previous stage or attend for a repair or replacement. Timely guidance helps keep your plan on track and reduces the risk of unwanted movement.
Retainers help maintain your new alignment by holding teeth in their improved positions. We will talk you through wear schedules, care and replacement options, and we will review your retainers at follow-up appointments to keep everything stable.
Review appointments are scheduled at sensible intervals to check progress and provide any adjustments or advice. The exact frequency depends on your plan and will be confirmed after assessment, so you know what to expect before you begin.
In some cases, focusing on the front teeth may be clinically appropriate. We will assess your bite and overall health first, then explain whether a limited plan could meet your goals or if a more comprehensive approach would provide a safer, longer-term result.
We may recommend gum care before starting any tooth movement. Treating inflammation and ensuring stable gum health supports safer straightening. Our team will guide you on the right steps and timing so treatment can proceed when appropriate.
