Teeth straightening is not always considered as a cosmetic dental treatment in the way that teeth whitening is. However, if you do have a few squint or overlapping teeth then what better way to improve your smile and make you feel more confident than having your teeth straightened.

At Hope Park Dental Practice in Edinburgh, we offer a range of short term teeth straightening treatments.

This ranges from "fixed braces" such as Six Month Smiles® which use clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires which generally need to be worn for 6-9 months. This is a highly successful way of straightening teeth, fast-acting and nearly invisible.

Aligners can also be used to straighten teeth, these are a course of ultra-clear custom made removable retainers (like gum shields) which are worn all the time, apart from when taken out for eating and cleaning your teeth.
