Orthodontics in Lewisham for Straighter Teeth and a More Confident Smile
At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, we provide orthodontic treatment to gently straighten teeth, improve your bite and enhance the overall appearance and health of your smile. Crooked, crowded or gappy teeth can be harder to clean properly, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease – as well as affecting confidence. Modern teeth straightening offers solutions for both teenagers and adults who want a healthier, more balanced smile.
During your orthodontic consultation, we will carefully assess your teeth, bite and jaw position, take any necessary X-rays or digital scans, and discuss your goals in detail. Together, we’ll decide on the most suitable treatment option for your lifestyle, budget and clinical needs. You’ll receive a clear, personalised treatment plan, including estimated timescales and costs, so you know exactly what to expect.
At ToothBrush Dental, we offer two main types of teeth straightening:
-
Classic fixed braces – Traditional braces use small brackets attached to the teeth and a thin wire to gently move them into a better position. These can be metal or more discreet tooth-coloured options. Fixed braces are highly effective for a wide range of bite problems and more complex cases, and they work continuously because they stay on your teeth 24/7.
-
Clear aligners (removable teeth straightening trays) – Clear aligners are a popular, almost invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made plastic trays. You wear each set of aligners for a specified time before moving to the next, gradually guiding your teeth into alignment. Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing and special occasions, making them a convenient option for many adults and image-conscious teens.
Throughout your orthodontic treatment, our team will see you regularly to monitor progress, make adjustments where needed and support you with advice on cleaning and caring for your teeth and braces/aligners. At the end of treatment, we will provide retainers and guidance on keeping your new smile straight and stable long-term.
If you’re looking for braces, clear aligners or teeth straightening in Lewisham, we’re here to help. Book an orthodontic consultation at ToothBrush Dental today and take the first step towards a healthier, straighter and more confident smile.
