TEETH STRAIGHTENING

AT GREYFRIARS DENTAL PRACTICE IN SHREWSBURY

Straighten your teeth with our Orthodontic treatments like Invisalign clear aligners or braces.

How does teeth straightening work?

Teeth can be straightened either by use of invisible clear aligners (Invisalign), or traditional braces.

Clear aligners work by using a system of custom-designed removable braces that exert gentle pressure on your teeth to gradually move them into the correct position over time. These aligners will be tweaked every 1 – 2 weeks to continually re-align your teeth into their perfect position.  

Traditional braces rely on brackets (these can be metal or white ceramic) that are attached to your teeth which are connected together by a wire. This exerts gentle pressure on your teeth to gradually correct their positions over time.

What are the advantages of clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a discreet, yet powerful way of straightening your teeth while going about your everyday life. You can take them out to eat, drink and clean your teeth with ease.

How long does teeth straightening take?

On average it can take between 6 and 18 months to complete a plan. These timeframes will depend on how out of alignment your teeth are at the start of the process, and how committed you are to wearing your aligners. Typically, we expect patients to wear their clear aligners for around 22 hours per day, with breaks for eating and cleaning. Once your treatment plan has finished, you will be provided with retainers for everyday wear; these will help to keep your newly straightened teeth in place permanently.

How much does treatment cost?

Starting from £2,500 you could have your dream smile. Invisalign packages include:

  • A consultation
  • A 3D scan of your teeth
  • A digital treatment simulation
  • Teeth whitening
  • 3x sets of Vivera retainers

We offer a range of payment plans to ensure teeth straightening is accessible to everyone.
