Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontics can improve the position of teeth and aspects of the bite. The suitable approach depends on your oral health and the movements required.
Understand the options before deciding on treatment.
A dental assessment helps clarify what is suitable, what the treatment can achieve and what care may be needed afterwards.
Removable Braces
Removable Braces for Adults
At Freshdental, we understand that many adults want straighter teeth without the inconvenience or appearance of traditional fixed braces. Our removable braces, often referred to as clear aligners, offer a modern, flexible, and virtually invisible way to straighten your smile. Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, they allow you to continue your daily routine with minimal disruption.
Removable braces are custom-made, clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into the correct position, without brackets or wires, using a series of aligners worn in stages.

Problems adult orthodontics can help address.
Adults considering crowding, spacing, bite concerns, or teeth that have shifted with age or after earlier treatment. Care typically starts with a consultation and assessment, then a personalised plan, active treatment and retention where appropriate.
Step 01
Crowding or spacing
Adults often seek assessment for crowded or spaced teeth and related alignment concerns.
Step 02
Bite concerns
Some adults want advice about how the teeth meet, or about bite irregularities noticed over time.
Step 03
Shifting with age or relapse
Teeth can move as we age, and alignment can change again after earlier orthodontic treatment when retention was not continued.
Step 04
Retention afterwards
After active treatment, retainers are commonly used to help keep teeth in their new position. Ask how retention works before starting.
Common questions
Questions about this treatment
These answers cover common considerations. Your own suitability and treatment plan should be discussed with a dental professional.
No. Adults can be assessed for orthodontic treatment, although oral health, gum condition and the complexity of tooth movements affect suitability.
Neither option is best for everyone. The choice depends on the movements needed, your bite, lifestyle and whether you can follow the wear instructions.
Duration varies with the complexity of the case, the appliance used and how treatment progresses. Your clinician can provide an estimate after assessment.
Retainers are commonly recommended because teeth can shift after active treatment. Follow the wear schedule given by your clinician.
Gum health should be assessed before orthodontic treatment. Any active problems may need to be managed first, and oral hygiene remains important throughout.
