Braces

Your journey to a straighter smile, made simple

Straightening teeth has never been easier – or more discreet.

Gone are the days when many adults avoided braces because of bulky metal “train tracks” or multi-year treatments. Today, many smiles can be transformed in as little as six months with sleek, clear, or invisible braces.

Our treatments deliver beautifully aligned teeth without drawing attention. If you opt for clear aligners, no one will even know you’re wearing them… we promise not to tell!

What our patients say...

Braces FAQs

Am I suitable for short term orthodontics?

You need to be dentally healthy with an excellent tooth cleaning regime before braces can be provided safely. Crowns and fillings don’t mean you can’t have treatment, but tooth decay and gum disease do. If you haven’t had a dental check up in over a year you will need to book one with us or your own dentist if you have one.

We would recommend you come in for a free no obligation consultation when we can tell you if we can provide treatment for you, or whether you will need a specialist orthodontist to achieve your desired result.

Does it hurt?

The fitting, adjusting and removal of the braces is not painful, but you may find that your teeth ache for the first few days after adjustments, or after changing to a new aligner. Also the wires on fixed braces can make the cheeks sore for a week or two after they are first fitted. We provide you with special wax to put over the wires to make this more comfortable until the soreness wears off.

How long does the treatment take?

This varies depending on what the problems are that you want to correct. In general most treatments take between 4 and 9 months, but some more complex cases can take over a year. We will give you an estimate of when we think you will finish when you have your initial consultations.

Will I need to wear retainers?

Yes! Many of our patients are having braces because they stopped wearing their retainers after they had orthodontics as a child and their teeth have relapsed. Teeth move throughout life and this movement can only be minimised by wearing either a fixed retainer on the back of the teeth or a removable retainer every night, for life.

Can I eat and speak normally with my braces in?

With any brace there is a period of adaptation for a week or two. Speech normally adapts very rapidly. Note that the Inman Aligner will usually change your speech a little for the whole time you wear it.

Certain foods will need to be avoided when wearing fixed braces as they can damage the wires or brackets.

You cannot eat, or drink anything other than water, with an Inman Aligner or with Invisalign or Smilelign clear aligners in place. As these need to be worn 22 hours a day for the best effect, this means that you will not be able to snack frequently during your treatment.

Not sure whether the treatment is for you?

Did you know that sugar-free chewing gum could be a secret weapon in your oral health routine?! ✨
 
Chewing sugar-free gum for around 20 minutes after eating helps increase saliva flow, which can:
🦷 Wash away food particles and acids
🦷 Strengthen and protect tooth enamel
🦷 Reduce plaque build-up and the risk of decay
 
A simple habit that can support a healthier smile between brushes - give it a try if you don’t already! 🪥
On World No Tobacco Day, it’s important to remember that for many people, switching from smoking to vaping feels like a “safer” choice, but the detrimental effects on your mouth can still be significant.
 
Although vapes don’t contain tar like cigarettes, they can still impact your oral health by:
🦷 Trapping stains and causing discolouration from aerosols and flavourings
⚡ Contributing to faster enamel wear
🦠 Disrupting the balance of bacteria, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease
🩸 Reducing blood flow to the gums, which can slow healing
💧 Causing dry mouth and bad breath
 
If you vape, our team can help support your oral health with tailored advice during your Healthy Mouth Assessments 🪥✨

Neil has been a patient of ours for many years, but recently came to us after an impact injury to one of his lower front teeth while playing hockey. Over time, the tooth had darkened and he wasn’t happy with how it looked.
 
Using composite bonding, Mariam was able to carefully rebuild and blend the tooth so you’d never even know! ✨🦷

MI Paste could be your new best friend!
 
This topical paste is applied directly to the teeth and contains calcium and phosphate to help replenish and strengthen enamel, reducing sensitivity and protecting the teeth. It is incredibly effective and works almost immediately.
