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.

Pleasant people who try hard to make it easy for anxious patients like me have to deal with dental surgery. The receptionist Jackie is so professional and friendly. Reman the periodontist was excellent in describing the treatment, and Clare reassuring in her manner. The surgery is always very clean and it’s a good location.

The people I saw, Rachel the hygienist and Dr Sivasubramaniam were both extremely pleasant, reassuring, informative and I didn’t feel like I was being given a hard sell of treatments or services that have had at the practice previously (unnecessary(?) X-rays, for instance)

18th September 2025

My experience has always been that the service provided is of the most professional service that one could expect to receive from a dental service.

18th September 2025

Great staff and as a patient who is nervous about dental treatments, really put me at ease.

17th September 2025

Receptionist is friendly and helpful.It is useful to see pictures of all the staff and their biogs on the screen in reception.Dentist (who is relatively new to me, as my regular dentist has been away on sick leave for a long time) is friendly, appears highly competent and explains clearly what she has found during check-up and what needs to be done. This gives me a lot of confidence in her, which for me is essential, as I get very nervous about treatments I might need, such as fillings.

11th September 2025

It’s a highly professional operation. Receptionists are efficient and friendly. Derek is excellent in all respects: great manner with patients; clear with his advice and explanations; obviously technically very proficient. I almost enjoy going to the dentist!

We had a very good experience when we visited the hygienist. She was very friendly and helpful and explained what she was going to do before doing it.
