Crooked or misaligned teeth are extremely common and can affect how you feel about your smile as well as how easy your teeth are to keep clean. The best solution depends on the degree of crowding or misalignment, whether the bite is involved, and what result you are looking for. We offer both orthodontic and cosmetic routes.

You might have this if you notice

  • Teeth that overlap, twist or sit at an angle
  • Crowding — teeth that are too close together to clean properly
  • A smile you feel self-conscious about
  • Difficulty flossing in certain areas due to tight contacts

Straighter teeth are achievable at any age — often without traditional braces.

Common questions

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?+
No. Adults make up a large proportion of Invisalign patients. Teeth can be moved safely and effectively at any age, provided the gums and bone are healthy.
How long does Invisalign take?+
Treatment typically takes between 6 and 18 months depending on the complexity of the case. Many straightforward cases are completed in under a year.
Is there a quick fix for crooked teeth?+
Composite bonding can improve the look of mildly crooked teeth in a single visit. It doesn't move the teeth, but can create a more even, symmetrical appearance.
Will straightening my teeth affect my bite?+
Invisalign treatment is planned to improve the bite alongside the alignment. We assess this carefully at your consultation before recommending treatment.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.

Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!

This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.

Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend

So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
