Teeth Straightening

Teeth straightening treatments like braces and aligners are designed to gently move your teeth into a better position, without damaging their natural structure. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or an incorrect bite, orthodontic treatment can help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

What is Teeth Straightening?

Teeth straightening, also known as orthodontic treatment, is a way of moving your teeth into a more desirable position. It’s suitable for adults and teenagers with:

Crowded or widely spaced teeth
Front teeth that stick out
An incorrect bite
Jaws that don’t meet properly

Alpha Dental Care offers a range of orthodontic options, including fixed braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. These treatments are provided on an NHS and private basis, and we offer finance options to help spread the cost of care.

How Teeth Straightening works

Step 1: Consultation

Your dentist will assess your teeth and bite, and recommend the most suitable teeth straightening option for you.

Step 2: Custom treatment planning

For treatments like Invisalign®, we’ll take scans or impressions to create a personalised plan and aligners.

Step 3: Fitting or delivery

You’ll receive your fixed braces or removable aligners to begin your treatment.

Step 4: Regular check-ins

You’ll attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed.

Step 5: Retainers

Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide a retainer to help keep your teeth in position.

We offer a variety of Teeth Straightening options

Fixed Braces

Traditional braces that use brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into place.

Invisalign® Clear Braces

A series of custom-made, clear aligners that are nearly invisible. Invisalign® braces are removable, making them easy to clean and wear throughout the day. With Invisalign®, you’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to a new set every two weeks. Treatment typically lasts 3 to 18 months, depending on your individual case.

Custom Clear Braces

Clear, custom-designed aligners gently shift teeth into place, offering a discreet and comfortable option for a straighter smile without metal brackets or wires.
