Braces and clear aligners

Straighter teeth and a healthier bite, with fixed braces or clear aligners, for teenagers and adults.

Typical time: 12–24 months

The process

What happens

Straight teeth are easier to keep clean, and a balanced bite puts less strain on your teeth and jaw. Fixed braces and clear aligners can both get you there. The right one depends on your teeth, your routine and your budget.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    We examine your teeth and bite, take photos and X-rays, and explain your options.

  2. 02

    Your plan

    You’ll know the likely treatment time, the number of visits and the cost before you start.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    Braces are adjusted every few weeks. Aligners are changed at home every one to two weeks, with regular check-ins.

  4. 04

    Retainers

    Once your teeth are in position, retainers keep them there. This step is essential.

Questions

Common Questions

Am I too old for braces?

No. Adults can straighten their teeth at any age, as long as their gums and bone are healthy.

Are clear aligners as good as braces?

For many cases, aligners work well and are almost invisible. Some complex movements are better handled with fixed braces. We’ll tell you honestly which suits your teeth.
