Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming, Woking, Shalford and Cranleigh

Never before have there been so many ways to have your teeth straightened.

Teeth straightening is a dental speciality known as Orthodontic treatment. Using removable aligners, teeth are slowly and precisely moved to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

Dentists and Orthodontists have been straightening teeth for decades, but a lot has changed in that time. Traditional fixed braces will always be a fantastic way to straighten teeth, but advances in technology have now introduced a range of discreet alternatives. From clear removable aligners, clear fixed braces to invisible wires hidden behind the teeth, these aesthetic options have seen a huge rise in the number of adults seeking straighter teeth.

Orthodontic treatment is most often used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding or crowded teeth, and to correct problems with the bite of the teeth. Whether you have mild crowding or a complex bite problem, our teeth straightening dentist [dentist full name and link to profile], can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Guildford Dental Centre in Guildford we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Invisalign
  • 32Co Clear aligners

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. Dr Derek, Dr Kavitha or Dr Jananie will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Benefits of dental braces or clear aligners from Guildford Dental Centre in Guildford

  • Dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and potentially provide a life-changing confidence boost.
  • Improve the way your teeth function and bite together – they can even help some speech problems.
  • Straighter teeth provide food and plaque with fewer places to hide, making it easier for you to keep your smile clean and healthy.
  • If you follow aftercare advice and wear your retainers, your results can last a lifetime.

Am I suitable for teeth straightening?

Your teeth and gums need to be healthy before you can start treatment. If you have any implants, crowns, bridges, or veneers you can still wear braces, we can usually work around them.

If you are looking for teeth straightening or orthodontics in Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming, Woking, Shalford and Cranleigh and want to know more about how this could work for you, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Guildford Dental Centre.

i had a check up booked but managed to break a tooth prior to attended which was dealt with as well.

24th March 2026

I have not had a tooth extracted since childhood, so was frankly terrified at the prospect, even allowing for having arranged sedation. The sedation specialist was brilliant, calming and supportive, and the dentist was also very calm. The sedation worked very well, and after the treatment I was given very clear info about how to deal with any bleeding, pain, brushing near the affected area etc. As a result, I felt all had gone very well and felt confident about not having a review meeting for over a week (because the dentist was on planned leave). Having changed dentist following Jonathan's reduced days, I am now have complete confidence in Aradhana and Kavi, and it is such a relief to me. The support nurses also are very good. Many, many thanks to my new dentists!

Excellent dentist and hygienist. I receive the best dental care from this practice and have done for some years.

16th March 2026

The Hygienist with her Nurse worked hard on the cleaning which they carried in a respectful manner, allowing breaks when I requested.Rachel Akinsanya is informative and clearly explains everything. In addition as I was only thinking this morning, she does not add too many extra steps in one go, to my cleaning regime. It is a case of taking little steps to get there, ie this time she suggested an extra blue interdental brush for cleaning.

14th March 2026

Staff friendly and efficient. Appointment punctual.

12th March 2026

Prompt and friendly service. Things explained clearly

12th March 2026

My family and I have been coming to Guildford dental for over 20years. I saw Terry and now Derek. Jackie on reception is always very welcoming and takes time to chat when you arrive. Derek is always so professional, kind and always takes the time to discuss options. My children have just been for their check up and my daughter came out and said I really like Derek and trust him with my teeth!

4th March 2026

Very informative, not pushing unnecessary treatments . Treatment quick, painless and effective.
