Straight teeth refer to properly aligned teeth that sit in their correct positions within the jaw, creating an even, well-balanced smile. When teeth are straight, they meet together properly when you bite down. This allows for effective chewing and clear speech. Straight teeth are easier to clean thoroughly, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Many people are born with naturally crooked or misaligned teeth. Others develop alignment issues over time due to thumb sucking, early tooth loss, or jaw growth patterns. Crowded teeth overlap each other. Spaced teeth have gaps between them. Some teeth may stick out or sit too far back. These alignment problems can affect both appearance and function.
You should seek treatment if crooked teeth make you feel self-conscious about smiling. Consider orthodontic care if misaligned teeth cause difficulty chewing certain foods or affect your speech clarity. Overlapping teeth that are hard to clean properly also benefit from straightening treatment. Early intervention often produces the best results.

You might benefit from straightening treatment if you notice gaps between your teeth, crowding where teeth overlap, or difficulty cleaning certain areas properly. Many patients also seek treatment when they feel self-conscious about their smile. Our specialists will assess your bite, jaw alignment, and overall oral health during your consultation. Sometimes crooked teeth can lead to uneven wear, jaw strain, or increased risk of gum disease. We'll help you understand whether treatment is recommended for health reasons, cosmetic improvement, or both.
Adults have several excellent options today. Traditional metal braces remain highly effective for complex cases. Clear ceramic braces offer a more discreet appearance whilst providing similar results. Many adults choose clear aligners, which are nearly invisible removable trays that gradually move your teeth. The best choice depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and the complexity of your case. Our orthodontic specialists will discuss all suitable options during your consultation, considering factors like treatment time, visibility, and your daily routine.
Treatment duration varies significantly based on your individual case. Simple alignment issues might resolve in 6 to 12 months. More complex cases involving significant movement or bite correction can take 18 to 24 months, sometimes longer. Clear aligner treatment often takes 12 to 18 months for most cases. Your specialist will provide a personalised timeline after examining your teeth and discussing your goals. We'll monitor your progress regularly and keep you informed about how treatment is advancing.
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than actual pain. You might feel pressure or soreness for a few days after getting braces fitted or when switching to new aligner trays. This sensation indicates your teeth are moving as planned. The discomfort typically subsides within 3 to 5 days. Over-the-counter pain relief usually manages any discomfort effectively. Modern orthodontic techniques are much gentler than in the past. We'll provide detailed guidance on managing any temporary discomfort and ensuring your treatment remains as comfortable as possible.
Your eating habits will need some adjustment, but you can still enjoy most foods. With traditional braces, you'll need to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that might damage the brackets or wires. Think crusty bread, toffee, or whole apples. Cut harder foods into smaller pieces instead. Clear aligners offer more flexibility since you remove them for eating. You can eat anything you like, then brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in. We'll provide a comprehensive list of foods to enjoy and those to approach carefully.
Treatment costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment you choose. Simple cases might cost less than complex bite corrections requiring longer treatment. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible, including interest-free options for qualified patients. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, we'll discuss all costs upfront and help you explore financing options that suit your budget. No surprises, just clear information to help you make the best decision.
Maintaining your beautiful new smile requires a retention phase. You'll wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions whilst the surrounding bone and tissues stabilise. Initially, you might wear retainers full-time, then transition to nighttime wear. Some patients receive fixed retainers bonded behind their front teeth. Your retention plan will be tailored to your specific needs. We'll provide detailed instructions for retainer care and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your results remain stable. With proper retention, your straight smile can last a lifetime.
Dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly. Sometimes they happen during orthodontic treatment. Other times, they involve sudden tooth displacement or severe pain affecting your bite alignment. If you experience intense, throbbing pain in your teeth or jaw, this may require immediate attention. Broken brackets, loose wires, or damaged retainers that cause cuts to your mouth should be addressed promptly. Trauma to the face or mouth that shifts teeth out of position needs urgent care.
Seek emergency treatment if you notice sudden changes in your bite, severe swelling around orthodontic appliances, or persistent bleeding from your gums. Sharp pain when biting down or difficulty opening your mouth may indicate serious complications. If orthodontic wires break and pierce your cheek or tongue, contact us immediately.
For dental emergencies related to straight teeth concerns, call London Dental Specialists at 020 7589 7792 during our regular hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm. Outside these hours, leave a detailed message describing your emergency. Our specialist team will respond as quickly as possible to arrange urgent care.
While waiting for treatment, rinse gently with warm salt water if there's bleeding. Use orthodontic wax to cover sharp edges on broken appliances. Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packaging. Avoid hard or sticky foods that might worsen the problem. Remember, prompt professional care often prevents minor issues from becoming major complications. Our experienced specialists understand the urgency of dental emergencies and prioritise your comfort and oral health above all else.
