Clear aligner teeth straightening in West Byfleet and Surrey

Advances in aligner treatment mean most crowding, spacing, open bites, crossbites, narrow smiles and large overjets can be treated. Every case is subject to a clinical assessment, and the digital plan shows you exactly what is achievable before you commit.

Pressure and tenderness for a day or two after each new aligner are normal and are a sign the teeth are moving. It’s rare for patients to need pain relief. Fitting the attachments involves no injections.

Around six months on average. Simple movements can be finished in as little as eight weeks; complex cases take longer. You start to notice movement within the first week or two.

With remote monitoring you scan your teeth at home with your phone, which reduces review visits to one or two across the treatment. More complex or longer cases may need a few more.

Both arches are usually treated together for the best functional and aesthetic result. Single arch treatment is possible in specific cases and is priced from £2,500.

Typically about three weeks from your consultation to your first aligner, provided your mouth is healthy. Any decay or gum problems are treated first.

You receive removable retainers to wear full time for about six months, then at night for life, because teeth drift without them. In some cases a thin fixed wire behind the front teeth is added for extra security.
