What Is Adult Orthodontic Treatment?
Adult orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting misaligned, crowded or spaced teeth later in life, helping to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. It can also address bite issues that may contribute to uneven tooth wear, jaw discomfort or difficulties with cleaning.
Modern orthodontic care for adults is designed to be far more comfortable and discreet than traditional braces, making it easier to fit treatment around work, social commitments and everyday life. In many cases, treatment may involve clear, removable aligner systems, which allow teeth to be gradually straightened with minimal impact on daily routines.
Whether you’ve never had orthodontic treatment before or are considering re-treatment, adult orthodontics offers an effective way to achieve a healthier, more confident smile. Get in touch today to book a consultation and discuss the most suitable orthodontic approach for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting the position of the teeth and improving how the upper and lower teeth fit together. It can be used to treat issues such as crooked, crowded or spaced teeth, as well as bite problems that may affect chewing, speech or long-term dental health.
You may benefit from orthodontic treatment if misaligned teeth are difficult to clean, causing increased risk of decay or gum disease, or if bite issues are leading to uneven tooth wear or jaw discomfort. Many adults also choose orthodontic care to improve the appearance of their smile, boosting confidence alongside oral health benefits.
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of your individual case, including the position of your teeth and bite. Many adult orthodontic treatments are completed within 12–24 months, although simpler cases may take less time. Your dentist will assess your needs and provide a personalised treatment timeline during your consultation.
Some mild discomfort or pressure is normal when orthodontic treatment begins or when adjustments are made, as your teeth gradually move into position. This discomfort is usually temporary and can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find treatment becomes more comfortable as they progress.
Yes. In addition to improving the look of your smile, orthodontic treatment can help make teeth easier to clean, reduce overcrowding, improve bite alignment and lower the risk of uneven tooth wear. These functional improvements can support healthier teeth and gums over time.
The cost of adult orthodontic treatment varies depending on the type of treatment recommended and the complexity of your case. A full assessment will be carried out before a personalised treatment plan and clear pricing are provided. Flexible payment options may also be available to help spread the cost.
