If you are unhappy with crooked, crowded or uneven teeth, orthodontic treatment can be a highly effective way to improve both the appearance and alignment of your smile. At Hermitage Dental Practice, we offer a range of teeth straightening options, including Invisalign clear aligners and fixed braces, to help patients achieve straighter, healthier and more confident smiles.
Teeth straightening is not only about aesthetics. In many cases, improving the position of the teeth can also make them easier to clean, support better oral health and create a more balanced bite.

Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Invisalign is one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. Using a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made for your smile, Invisalign gradually moves the teeth into their ideal position over time.
​
Each set of aligners is usually worn for around two weeks before moving on to the next stage in the series. As treatment progresses, your teeth are guided step by step towards the planned final result. We will review your progress regularly at the practice, usually every 8 to 10 weeks, to make sure your treatment is progressing as expected.
​
To achieve the best results, Invisalign aligners need to be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. Because they are removable, they can be taken out for eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth, making them a convenient option for many patients.
​
We are always happy to offer a complimentary consultation for patients considering Invisalign treatment, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and explore whether it is the right option for your smile.

At Hermitage Dental Practice, we invest in modern dental technology to make treatment planning more accurate and more comfortable for our patients. Instead of traditional putty impressions, we use digital 3D scanners to capture highly detailed images of your teeth.
​
This means no messy impressions and a far more comfortable experience. Digital scanning also allows us to create visual simulations of how your smile could look after treatment, helping you understand the potential outcome before you begin.

Fixed Braces.
For some patients, fixed braces may be the most suitable way to achieve the desired result. Fixed braces remain attached to the teeth throughout treatment and can be highly effective for correcting more complex alignment issues.

During your consultation, we will discuss your goals, assess your smile and recommend the most appropriate teeth straightening option based on your individual needs.
