Does this sound familiar?
When to ask about braces & aligners.
These signs are a reason to arrange an assessment, not a diagnosis by themselves.
Spaces or gaps
Visible gaps affect your smile or create areas where food collects.
Teeth that protrude
Upper or lower front teeth sit noticeably forward.
Bite feels uneven
The upper and lower teeth do not meet comfortably when you close or chew.
Teeth have shifted
Teeth moved after earlier braces or because retainers were not worn.
You want a discreet option
You are interested in clear aligners or tooth-coloured braces and want to know if they suit you.
Treatment goals
What the right plan may help you achieve.
Straightening is not only about appearance. A well-planned result considers how the teeth meet, how they can be cleaned and how the new position will be retained.
Improve alignment
Treatment aims to move crowded, rotated or spaced teeth into healthier positions.
Plan the bite
How upper and lower teeth meet is considered along with the visible smile.
Make cleaning easier
Better alignment may reduce hard-to-reach overlaps, though daily hygiene remains essential.
Protect the result
Retainers are usually an important part of keeping teeth in their corrected positions.
What to expect
A clear path from concern to treatment plan.
The exact steps vary by diagnosis. The clinic will explain what applies to you before treatment begins.
Smile & bite assessment
Teeth, gums, jaw relationship and treatment goals are reviewed.
Records & planning
Photographs, scans, impressions or X-rays may be needed to plan movement safely.
Active treatment
Braces are adjusted periodically or aligners are changed according to the prescribed sequence.
Retention
Retainers are provided or advised to help maintain the result after active movement ends.
Questions patients ask
Useful answers before you call.
Individual suitability, costs, timing and likely outcomes require an examination.
Are clear aligners better than braces?
Not universally. Aligners are removable and discreet, while braces may offer advantages for some tooth movements. Suitability depends on the case and expected cooperation.
How long will treatment take?
Duration varies with the amount and type of movement, growth, appliance choice and attendance. An individual estimate follows diagnostic records.
Can adults get braces or aligners?
Many adults can, provided their gums and supporting tissues are healthy. Existing dental work and gum condition need to be assessed first.
Do braces or aligners hurt?
Mild pressure or tenderness is common after adjustments or a new aligner. Severe or persistent pain should be discussed with the clinic.
Will I need retainers?
Usually yes. Teeth can shift after active treatment, and retention helps maintain the result. The type and wear schedule are prescribed for your case.
