Our Teeth Straightening Options
We offer two options for teeth straightening in Brighton and Hove: Smilelign and ClearCorrect. Neither of these is considered âbetterâ than the other, but one may be more suitable for a particular patient than the other. We will discuss and consider both options during your first consultation with us, choosing the treatment based on your individual needs.
On average, it takes between 3 months and a year for treatment to be complete.
Smilelign
Smilelign utilises a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are worn over the teeth to gradually move them into their desired positions. These aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet and aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment. Â
We tailor each treatment to the individual patient’s orthodontic needs, creating a detailed plan based on impressions of the patient’s teeth. This ensures precise and effective tooth movement and full comfort while wearing them.
Smilelign can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The aligners can be used for both simple and complex cases, providing versatile treatment options for patients of all ages.
ClearCorrect
Much like Smilelign, ClearCorrect also utilises a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are worn over the teeth. These will gradually move them into the positions required and wanted by the patient. Again, as is common for many teeth straightening treatments in the modern day, the aligners are virtually invisible.Â
ClearCorrect aligners are made from smooth, thin, and comfortable plastic material that minimises irritation to the gums and soft tissues of the mouth. The low-profile design of the aligners also reduces the likelihood of speech interference compared to traditional braces.
How Smilelign Works for Teeth Straightening
You will begin in consultation with your dentist, at which point you can ask them about Smilelign and its potential benefits.
The dentist will take an impression of your teeth and discuss with you whether Smilelign is the right option for you. The impression is painless and will only take a couple of minutes.
If Smilelign is a good fit for your needs, the dentist will begin working with you on a bespoke treatment plan.
A pre-aligner (a passive brace) will be sent to our offices for you, where you can test how the braces feel and would work for you before you commit to wearing them.
If youâre happy with how braces would feel and would like to go ahead, the dentist will then order a custom-made set of Smilelign aligners for your treatment.
Youâll wear your aligners for most of the day to gradually move your teeth into the position â for the smile you want to see in the mirror.
How ClearCorrect Works for Teeth Straightening
You will first need a consultation with our dentist, which is when you will be able to ask about ClearCorrect and its advantages for you.
During this consultation, the dentist or orthodontist will assess your orthodontic needs, discuss treatment goals, and determine if ClearCorrect aligners are the right option. Theyâll then take an impression of your teeth.
Using these impressions, the dentist will be able to form a custom treatment plan for you â including designing the aligners that will best fit you and shifting the teeth as needed.
Based on the treatment plan, a series of clear aligners will be fabricated using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
Once the aligners are ready, you will return to our dental clinic for a fitting appointment. During this appointment, our dentist will ensure that the aligners fit properly and provide instructions on how to wear and care for them.
A ClearCorrect Instruction Note
Patients are instructed to wear their ClearCorrect aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except for water), brushing, and flossing. Throughout the treatment process, patients will have periodic check-up appointments with their dental professional to monitor their progress and ensure that the teeth are moving according to plan.Â
Adjustments to the treatment plan may be made as needed to achieve the desired results.
