Why choose Clear Aligners for Teeth Straightening?
Clear aligners have a number of benefits over train-track braces or other cosmetic options such as porcelain crowns or veneers
Aligners may be right for you if you’re looking for:
- Minimally-invasive treatment, requiring little or no enamel removal
- A new smile which will look totally natural with your own enamel on show
- Barely-visible aligners, so people wouldn’t notice you’re wearing them
- A comfortable treatment option, with low-profile aligners that don’t rub on your lips and cheeks
- The convenience of being able to easily remove the aligners for eating and cleaning
- Easily-replaceable aligners if they become lost or broken, thanks to our digital workflow.
Am I suitable for Clear Aligners?
If you think aligners may be for you, here’s what we look for to see if you’re right for the aligners.
You may be right for aligners if
- Your teeth and gums are in fair-to-good condition
- You clean your teeth effectively at home
- Your teeth are crowded and the main thing you’d like to achieve is a straighter smile
Combining Clear Aligners with other treatments
It’s common that crowded teeth isn’t the only thing you’d like to change. We can combine your aligner treatment with other solutions to enhance your smile.
We can combine aligners with other solutions to
- Improve the colour of your teeth with teeth whitening
- Repair chipped or damaged teeth with composite bonding
- Replace missing teeth with dental implants
How long does it take to straighten teeth with Clear Aligners?
Typically, it takes between 6 and 9 months to straighten your teeth.
It may be shorter than this for very mild crowding, or longer for more complex misalignments, but we’ll give you an estimate of the timescale when we plan your treatment.
How much do Clear Aligners cost?
Teeth straightening fees start from £2,179 for correcting mild crowding.
Costs vary depending on the amount of misalignment present, and we’ll always make sure you have a full quote before starting your treatment
How do Clear Aligners work?
The aligners work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into position.
You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly different to the last. Wearing the aligners in sequence will gradually straighten the teeth until you achieve your new, straight smile.
You’d normally wear each aligner for 22 hours per day for 2 weeks, before moving onto the next.
At the end of your teeth straightening, we’ll provide a set of retainers which will hold your teeth in position, keeping your new, straight smile looking as good as new.
