Cosmetic teeth straightening

Cosmetic teeth straightening focuses on moving the teeth visible in your smile line, usually your front 6 to 8 teeth. 

As these treatments focus on fewer teeth, results can be achieved quicker than full orthodontic treatment, in as little as 6 months. 

It is often more comfortable than may other orthodontic systems, as it uses less force to move the teeth ensuring it is gentler on the gums and soft tissue.

Treatment is discreet too! At Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic in Henley-on-Thames we use a choice of clear ceramic brackets, to blend with your natural teeth, or near invisible removable aligners. These discreet options means your braces often go unnoticed.

At Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic, we offer the following Cosmetic teeth straightening options:

  • 6 Month Smiles

As the name suggests, 6 Month Smiles is a cosmetic treatment rather than orthodontic treatment. It won't correct any problems you have with the jaw alignment or bite, and therefore may not be suitable for all patients. We will invite you in for an initial consultation with a Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic dentist, to establish your individual needs, and recommend the best options for a straightening solution for you.

Why aren’t my child’s teeth straight?

Crooked teeth, gaps or crowding can be inherited or develop due to habits such as thumb sucking or prolonged dummy use. Early or late loss of baby or adult teeth can also affect how teeth come through.

What can be treated?

Orthodontic treatments have evolved enormously over the last 20 years. Now problems such as gaps between the teeth, crowded teeth, overbite (upper teeth covering the majority of the lower ones), open bite (upper and lower teeth almost don’t touch) and cross bites can all be treated.

What impact can orthodontic treatment have?

Orthodontic treatment can improve how teeth function and look. Many patients also feel more confident once treatment is complete, particularly if they were previously self-conscious about their smile.

Should teeth be straightened for health reasons?

The correction of poor dental positioning also improves oral hygiene, as crowded or crooked teeth are often hard to clean properly. With such an improvement, the risk of gum disease for example – which can result in loss of teeth in extreme cases – is prevented.

What other benefits does teeth straightening offer?

Orthodontic treatment improves chewing efficiency by re-establishing the correct relationship between lower and upper teeth, removing the difficulty you may have when chewing certain kinds of food, and so providing better nutrition.
