Whether you’re considering dental braces for the first time or looking for a more discreet teeth straightening option, our team is here to guide you through every step of your journey.

A well-aligned smile isn’t just about aesthetics—it also significantly improves oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease, cavities, and jaw pain. Plus, a proper bite alignment ensures that your teeth function efficiently, preventing unnecessary strain on your jaw and surrounding muscles.

With modern advancements in orthodontics, teeth straightening is now more comfortable, effective, and discreet than ever before. No matter your age, lifestyle, or dental concerns, there’s a treatment option designed to fit your needs.

Why Teeth Straightening Matters

Many people assume that teeth straightening treatment is purely cosmetic, but it provides several health benefits, including:

✔ Easier Cleaning – Straight teeth are simpler to brush and floss, reducing plaque buildup and lowering the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
✔ Better Bite Function – Proper alignment prevents uneven wear on teeth, reduces strain on the jaw, and improves overall dental function.
✔ Boosted Confidence – A healthy, straight smile enhances self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Teeth Straightening Options at Dental Concepts

We offer a range of dental braces and aligners, tailored to suit your individual needs:

 Traditional Metal Braces – A highly effective option for severe misalignment, using durable metal brackets and wires to shift teeth into place gradually.
Ceramic Braces – A more discreet alternative, with tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with your teeth for a subtle appearance.
Lingual Braces – These braces are placed behind the teeth, keeping them completely hidden from view while still providing excellent results.
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) – Virtually invisible, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth without wires or brackets.
Self-Ligating Braces – A low-friction alternative to traditional braces, providing a smoother and more comfortable experience with fewer adjustments needed.

How Long Does Teeth Straightening Take?

The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of your case:

 Mild cases (clear aligners): 6–12 months
Moderate misalignment (ceramic/traditional braces): 12–24 months
Severe cases (metal braces): 18–36 months

At Dental Concepts, our orthodontists create personalised treatment plans to ensure the best results for every patient. For instance Sarah from Andover;

"I was hesitant about getting braces as an adult, but Dental Concepts made the process smooth. My clear aligners were comfortable and practically invisible! In just a few months, I saw a huge improvement." – Sarah B., Andover.
