Fixed braces
Brackets and wires move teeth gradually. They can treat many alignment problems, with regular adjustments and careful daily cleaning.

Understand your teeth and bite
Crooked teeth may overlap, rotate or sit outside the dental arch. An uneven bite can also involve the way the upper and lower jaws meet. An assessment separates an appearance concern from problems with cleaning or function, then considers your gum health, goals and ability to follow treatment instructions.
When an assessment may help
- Overlapping or rotated teeth
- Difficulty cleaning tight spaces
- Teeth meeting unevenly
- Teeth shifting after past treatment
Why teeth may be out of line
- Tooth and jaw development
Inherited tooth size, available space and jaw growth can influence tooth alignment.
- Early changes
Early tooth loss, injury or prolonged sucking habits may affect developing tooth positions.
- Movement over time
Teeth can shift over time, particularly after orthodontic treatment without adequate retention.
Care based on your assessment
Options depend on the movement needed
Clear aligners
Removable trays can suit selected cases. Progress depends on consistent prescribed wear, professional monitoring and any additional techniques needed.
A tailored bite plan
More complex jaw or bite differences need specialist assessment. Mild differences may be monitored if treatment offers limited benefit.
How these approaches differ
| Approach | When it may fit | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
Fixed braces | Tooth movements or bite correction benefit from a fixed appliance. | Regular adjustments and careful cleaning; retainers are normally needed after treatment. |
Clear aligners | The required movements suit removable trays and you can follow the prescribed wear schedule. | Changing trays, professional reviews and possible attachments or other techniques; retainers afterwards. |
A tailored bite plan | Jaw relationships, complex crowding or another dental problem need a broader assessment. | Specialist advice may combine approaches, stage care or recommend monitoring rather than movement. |
These choices are not interchangeable for every bite. Some plans combine techniques, and a healthy mild difference may be monitored. Suitability, risks and retention are discussed before starting.

Your questions, answered
Are aligners or braces better for crooked teeth?
Neither is best for everyone. The movements required, bite, gum health and your ability to wear removable trays consistently guide the choice. Some complex movements need fixed braces or combined techniques.
Can adults straighten their teeth?
Yes. Adults may have orthodontic treatment when their teeth and supporting gums are suitable. Existing fillings, missing teeth or gum problems may change the plan, so an examination is important.
Will I need teeth removed?
Not necessarily. Space can sometimes be managed without extraction, but the right approach depends on crowding, tooth position, facial balance and bite. Your clinician should explain suitable options before treatment starts.
Will I need retainers afterwards?
Yes. Teeth can move after active treatment. Retainers help maintain alignment, and you should follow the wear and review schedule provided. A lost, broken or poorly fitting retainer needs prompt advice.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth more quickly?
Veneers can disguise some appearance differences but do not move tooth roots or correct the bite. They may require permanent tooth preparation. Discuss orthodontic options before reshaping otherwise healthy teeth.
