Need to spread the cost of treatment?
Representative example of a finance plan for a Dual Arch clear aligner package. Total package price of £4,995.00, with a deposit of £0, over 60 months would cost you £104.85 per month at a representative 9.9% APR. The total amount of credit would be £6,290.93, with a total interest cost of £1,295.93. This means the total amount repayable is £6,290.93.
At home and DIY vs clinical teeth straightening for adults
Choose professional orthodontists for maximum safety and maximum efficacy
Moving teeth as an adult is, most times than not, more complicated than moving teeth as a child or teenager. This is because there are often pre-existing dental issues to work around, including gum disease. There may also be dental prosthetics present in the mouth, such as implants, crowns or bridges.
Yorkshire Dental Suite advises choosing specialist care with GDC-registered orthodontists, versus ‘direct-to-consumer’ kits available online. A specialist helps to ensure a safe and effective treatment, while simultaneously minimising the risk of root resorption, a clinical risk that increases with age.
The rise in adult teeth straightening
Is there a new smile standard?
Statistics from the British Orthodontic Society shows the increasing popularity of adult teeth straightening. Recent data shows that 88% of UK orthodontic patients are now aged 26 - 55, while 80% of UK orthodontists have seen a rise in adult private cases.
Teeth straightening treatments have come a long way in recent years too. Next-generation scanners use AI algorithms to predict tooth movement with an accuracy of 99.8%, helping to significantly reduce ‘mid-course refinements’ and shortening your overall treatment length.
While it’s hard to identify why there has been a large increase in adult orthodontics, one explanation for it could be the ‘Digital Face’ phenomenon. With an ever-increasing pressure to look perfect on social media, or to appear ‘professional’ whilst working, many adults are turning to teeth straightening for a confidence boost.

Yes! Alongside the aesthetic advantages, straight teeth also helps to support good oral health. This is because food and bacteria are less likely to get trapped, and the risk of gum disease is minimised.
No - in fact, we have treated patients in their 50s, 60s and 70s. As long as your teeth and gums are in a generally healthy condition, you should be eligible for clear aligners.
As mentioned earlier, adult teeth may be straightened. Anyone can benefit from orthodontic treatment, regardless of age.
The answer to this varies from patient to patient depending on the treatment you get, the complexity of your case and if any additional treatments are required. Costs start at £2,250 at Yorkshire Dental Suite.
The NHS only offers teeth straightening to patients under 18 who meet a strict criteria. Very rarely, they may offer treatment to adults if their teeth is impacting their health, but only metal ‘train-track’ braces will be provided.
One of the best ways to keep costs low while straightening teeth is by making sure your teeth and gums are in a healthy condition. This negates the need for additional dental work. In regards to treatment, fixed metal braces tend to be the cheapest option.
Treatment times can vary between four and twelve months. Complex cases may take longer.
