Considering Straighter Teeth? Here's How We Can Help

There's no single right way to straighten your teeth — the best option depends on your smile, your timeline and your lifestyle. We offer a range of Teeth Straightening systems, from Clear Aligners to discreet fixed braces.

At your consultation, we'll assess your teeth and talk you through which systems could work for you, so you can make an informed choice about how you'd like to reach your straighter smile.

We welcome Teeth Straightening patients from Derby, Hilton, and the surrounding towns and villages of South Derbyshire, including Willington, Etwall, Hatton, Egginton, Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, all within easy reach of our practice on Welland Road.

Is Teeth Straightening right for you?

Most teenagers and adults with crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth can be treated with one of our Straightening options. A few things need checking first, and we'd rather tell you at the consultation than partway through.

Ideal Candidates

  • Teens and adults with mild to severe misalignment
  • Patients with crowded, gapped, or crooked teeth
  • Those wanting a discreet option (Clear Aligners) or a more traditional option (fixed braces)
  • Patients wanting to correct their bite as well as their smile
  • Anyone wanting a straighter smile before further cosmetic treatment

May Need Assessment

  • Severe bite issues requiring jaw surgery
  • Very young children with developing teeth
  • Patients unable to commit to the required wear time or appointments
  • Active gum disease or untreated decay

FAQs

Does Teeth Straightening hurt?

Most systems cause mild pressure for a day or two after an adjustment or a new aligner, which is a sign it's working. This settles quickly and rarely needs more than ordinary painkillers.

How long does Teeth Straightening take?

Treatment time varies depending on the system and how much movement is needed, ranging from a few months to over a year. We'll give you a more precise timeline at your consultation.

Is Teeth Straightening available on the NHS?

Teeth Straightening for adults is generally a private treatment, as the NHS mostly reserves funded orthodontics for children and teenagers with a clear clinical need. Book a consultation with us to talk through your options.

Which system is right for me?

It depends on your smile, timeline and preferences. We'll talk through the options at your consultation and recommend what's likely to work best for you.

Will I need a retainer afterwards?

Yes. Once treatment is complete, you'll be given retainers to help keep your teeth in their new position.

Do you treat patients outside Derby?

Yes, we welcome patients from across Derby and the surrounding area, including Hilton, Willington, Etwall, Hatton, Egginton, Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, and towns across South Derbyshire. Get in touch to check if we're a convenient option for you.
