Teeth Straightening Services
At Honce Dentistry, we understand the importance of achieving a straighter, more aligned smile without the hassle and awkwardness often associated with traditional orthodontic treatments.
Clear aligner therapy has revolutionized the field of orthodontics, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Our preferred choice, SureSmile Clear Aligners, are custom-made to fit your unique dental structure. They provide precise and effective tooth movement with minimal disruption to you.
Eight steps to straightened teeth
- Consultation. Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your dental needs and goals. Our experienced team will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options.
- Treatment planning. In developing a treatment plan, we consider factors such as tooth alignment, bite correction and overall dental health.
- Digital treatment simulation. Using advanced digital technology, we simulate the progression of your tooth movement, allowing you to visualize the anticipated results before starting treatment. This innovative approach ensures transparency and enables us to fine-tune your treatment plan for optimal outcomes.
- Fabrication for custom aligners. Once your treatment plan is finalized, we fabricate your custom aligners with precision and care. Crafted to fit snugly over your teeth, these clear trays are virtually invisible.
- Wearing aligners. You’ll begin wearing your custom aligners as prescribed by your dentist. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable. Enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine with ease.
- Gradual tooth movement. Over time, your aligners will gently and gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners brings you closer to achieving your dream smile, with minimal discomfort and inconvenience.
- Regular checkups: Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular checkups to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
- Treatment completion and retention: Once your treatment is complete, we’ll recommend a retainer plan to maintain your new, beautiful smile.
Unveiling the benefits of straighter teeth
A straighter smile offers a multitude of benefits for your overall oral health and wellbeing, including:
- Enhanced appearance and confidence. Straight teeth create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Improved oral hygiene. Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing plaque buildup and the risk of cavities.
- Corrected bite issues: Teeth straightening can address overbites, underbites, crossbites and other bite problems. These can contribute to jaw pain, headaches and tooth wear.
- Speech improvement: Misaligned teeth can sometimes affect speech clarity and pronunciation. Straightening your teeth can enhance your ability to speak clearly and confidently.
- Long-term cost savings: Straightened teeth are less susceptible to damage and future restorative needs, saving you money in the long run.

Frequently asked questions about Teeth Straightening
Are SureSmile Clear Aligners visible?
One of the key advantages of SureSmile Clear Aligners is their virtually invisible appearance. Made from clear, BPA-free plastic, these aligners blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
How do SureSmile Clear Aligners work?
SureSmile Clear Aligners utilize custom-made trays to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions over time. These aligners are worn for a specified period. Each set progressively shifts your teeth closer to alignment.
How long does treatment with SureSmile Clear Aligners take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on your specific dental needs and treatment goals. On average, most patients achieve their desired results within six to 18 months.
Are SureSmile Clear Aligners comfortable to wear?
These aligners are designed for maximum comfort, with smooth edges and a snug yet gentle custom fit over your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners exert gentle pressure on your teeth, minimizing discomfort during treatment.
What should I eat and drink while undergoing teeth straightening?
Since SureSmile Clear Aligners are removable, you can enjoy your favourite foods and drinks without restrictions. However, it’s important to brush your teeth and aligners thoroughly after consuming anything besides water.
How do I care for my clear aligners?
SureSmile Clear Aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning. Brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste (avoid abrasive toothpaste) after each time you remove them to eat or drink (excluding water). You can also soak them in a denture cleaner specifically designed for clear aligners for deeper cleaning.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
There might be a slight adjustment period in the beginning as you get accustomed to wearing the aligners. However, most patients adapt quickly and experience minimal to no impact on their speech.
