Straighter teeth, without the awkward teenage years

Crowding, gaps and bite issues can be corrected at almost any age. We'll talk you through what's actually going to work for your teeth, not just what's trendy.

Straighter teeth at any age

Crooked teeth aren't just a cosmetic concern. Crowded teeth are harder to clean, and a bite that doesn't meet evenly can cause wear, chipping and jaw strain over time. Orthodontic treatment moves teeth gently into a better position, improving both how your smile looks and how it works.

More adults than ever are straightening their teeth, and clear aligners make it easy to do discreetly — they're almost invisible and come out for eating and brushing.

What clear aligners can treat

  • Mild to moderate crowding
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Teeth that have shifted after previous braces
  • Some overbite, underbite and crossbite issues

More complex cases may need fixed braces or a referral to a specialist orthodontist. We'll be upfront about what aligners can and can't do for you.

Your first appointment

We'll examine your teeth and gums, take a digital scan, and talk about what you'd like to change. You'll leave with a clear idea of whether aligners suit you, roughly how long treatment would take, and what it would cost.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

No. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, teeth can be moved at any age, and many of our aligner patients are adults.

How much do clear aligners cost?

It depends on how much movement your teeth need. You'll get a full quote after your scan, and interest-free payment plans are available.
