Clear Aligners, A Discreet Way to Straighten Your Smile

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean a mouth full of metal. Clear aligners are thin custom made trays that sit over your teeth and move them along a little at a time. Most people you talk to won’t notice you’re wearing them. They come out, too, so you eat what you like and brushing and flossing carry on as normal. 

Crowded teeth, gaps, a bite that’s never quite sat right, aligners can handle most cases, and they do it quietly.

We start with a good look at your teeth and bite plus a digital scan, which lets us show you on screen where your teeth are now and where they’ll end up. You get to see the ending before you commit to it.

From there it’s a new set of trays every couple of weeks and short catch ups with us to make sure everything’s tracking. We’ll walk you through the whole plan before you decide on anything.

Thinking About Clear Aligners?

Here’s how the journey works, who they suit best, and the answers to the questions we hear most.

Step 1 · about 15 minutes

A chat and a quick 3D scan

We have a proper look at your teeth and your bite, hear what's been bothering you, and run a small handheld scanner over your teeth. No trays of putty. The scan tells us whether aligners will actually shift your teeth the way you want, and if they won't, we'll say so.

Step 2 · your preview

Seeing where you'll end up

Your scan gets turned into a plan that shows each tooth travelling from where it sits now to where it's headed. You'll watch the whole thing on screen and see the finished result before you agree to anything. Once you're happy with it, your trays get made to fit your teeth and nobody else's.

Step 3 · day to day

Wearing them

A new set every week or two, worn about 20 to 22 hours a day. Out for meals, out for brushing, back in afterwards. It feels odd for the first few days and then you stop thinking about it. We'll see you now and again for a quick check that everything's moving the way the plan says it should.

Step 4 · the result

All finished

Your teeth settle into their new spot over the following months. After that you'll have a retainer, because teeth will happily wander back if nothing's holding them. Wear it the way we suggest and the result stays where you put it.

Crowded teeth

Teeth that overlap or sit on top of each other, which also makes them a pain to floss.

Gaps and spacing

Spaces between your teeth that you've always meant to do something about.

Mild bite issues

A small overbite, underbite or crossbite that changes how your teeth meet.

Shifting after braces

You had braces years ago, the retainer went in a drawer, and things have quietly moved since. Happens all the time.

Keeping it quiet

You'd rather sort your teeth out without it being obvious to everyone at work.

Not much spare time

Fewer appointments than braces, and nothing that stops you eating properly or playing sport.

Not sure whether they'd work for you? Aligners can't fix everything. Some bites really do need braces or a specialist, and if yours is one of them we'll tell you straight instead of selling you something that won't do the job. Come in for a free consultation and we'll have a proper look.
Will people notice them?
Not usually. The trays are thin clear plastic that sit close against your teeth, so in normal conversation most people won't pick it up. Someone looking closely from across a table might spot them, but nobody's going to notice from the other side of a room.
Do they hurt?
There's some pressure for a day or two each time you go up to a new set, which is your teeth being asked to move. Most people call it an ache rather than pain, and it settles quickly. There are no wires or brackets rubbing the inside of your cheeks, which is the bit everyone remembers about braces.
How long does it take?
It comes down to how far your teeth have to travel. Plenty of people finish somewhere between 6 and 18 months. You'll get a real timeframe with your plan before you start rather than a vague guess.
Can I eat and drink normally?
Yes, and it's one of the better things about them. Take the trays out for food and for anything other than water, give your teeth a quick brush, then pop them back in. Nothing's off the menu, so no giving up popcorn or apples for a year.
How much do I have to wear them?
Around 20 to 22 hours a day, so basically all the time except eating and cleaning your teeth. This is the part that decides how well the whole thing goes. Leave them sitting on the kitchen bench and your teeth simply stop moving.
What happens when I'm done?
You'll get a retainer made for you, usually worn overnight. Teeth drift over the years if nothing's holding them in place, so the retainer is what protects the work you've just done.

FAQs

They’re very discreet. The trays are made from thin, clear plastic that sits snugly over your teeth, so most people won’t notice you’re wearing them during everyday conversation, which is one of the main reasons patients choose them over traditional braces.

It depends on how much movement your smile needs. Many people finish within 6 to 18 months, and we’ll give you a clear timeframe as part of your custom plan before you start, so you know exactly what to expect.

Absolutely, and that’s a big advantage. You simply take your aligners out to eat and drink (anything other than water), give your teeth a quick brush, and pop them back in. There are no food restrictions at all.

For the best results, aim for around 20 to 22 hours a day, essentially all the time except when you’re eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth. The more consistent you are, the smoother and quicker your treatment tends to be.

Rinse them each time you take them out, and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and a little mild soap or clear aligner cleaner. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and always brush your teeth before putting them back in.

They’re a great fit for many people with crowding, gaps, or mild bite issues, but some more complex cases are better suited to other options. The best way to know for sure is a quick, free consultation, where we’ll take a proper look and give you honest advice.
