Teeth straightening, kindly explained
What teeth straightening is — and why it's more than cosmetic
Teeth straightening is a general term for the orthodontic process that corrects irregularities in your teeth and bite. Whether you're looking to improve aesthetics or fix your bite, it can positively affect how you talk, smile, eat — and your overall health.
Most irregularities are caused by malocclusion — a misalignment between the upper and lower teeth. This includes overbites, underbites, crossbites, gap teeth (diastema), crowded teeth, overlapping teeth and crooked teeth.
Teeth straightening has come a long way. With Invisalign clear aligners, you can now straighten your teeth in Shepperton without braces — keeping your confidence and smile intact from day one.
Virtually invisible
Clear, smooth aligners quietly straighten your teeth — no metal brackets or wires on show, even during treatment.
Comfortable by design
Custom-fit trays reposition teeth with less pain than fixed braces — no brackets to irritate gums or cheeks.

Ways to straighten
Affordable teeth straightening options
- Invisalign
- Clear, custom-made aligners changed every ~2 weeks — virtually invisible, removable and often the best option for adults and teens.
- Ceramic braces
- Tooth-coloured or clear brackets bonded to the teeth — less noticeable than metal braces, but still fixed.
- Metal braces
- Fixed metal brackets, archwire and elastics gradually straighten teeth over time — effective but very visible.
- Lingual braces
- Brackets and wires bonded to the inside of the teeth — hidden from view but more complex and typically higher cost.
- Removable plates
- Used mainly in children with baby teeth — usually followed by Invisalign once adult teeth erupt.
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Tooth sculpting, bonding, veneers or crowns — a good option for very mild misalignment only.
- Retainers
- After treatment, discreet retainers keep your new alignment beautifully stable long-term.
