What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the alignment of teeth and jaws. It uses appliances — such as aligners or braces — to gradually move teeth into better positions, improving both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite.

At Barker Dental Care, we focus on clear aligner orthodontics, which offers a modern, patient-friendly alternative to fixed metal braces. Clear aligners are barely noticeable, can be removed for eating and brushing, and are suitable for most common alignment concerns in both teenagers and adults.

Problems Orthodontic Treatment Addresses:

  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Teeth that are difficult to clean due to their position
  • Self-consciousness about the appearance of your smile
  • Uneven bite causing jaw discomfort or wear

Who is Orthodontic Treatment For?

Orthodontic treatment is suitable for teenagers and adults of all ages. If you're self-conscious about crooked, crowded, or gappy teeth, or if your bite feels uneven, orthodontic treatment could make a significant difference. It's never too late to straighten your teeth — many of our orthodontic patients are adults who finally feel ready to address concerns they've had for years.

Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?

A Straighter, More Confident Smile

The most visible benefit of orthodontic treatment is a beautifully aligned smile. Our patients consistently tell us the confidence boost they experience after completing their treatment is life-changing.

Easier to Clean Teeth

Straight teeth are significantly easier to brush and floss effectively. Crowded or overlapping teeth create hard-to-reach areas where plaque builds up, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Straightening your teeth improves your oral hygiene and long-term dental health.

Virtually Invisible Treatment

Clear aligners are made from transparent plastic and are barely noticeable when worn. Most people around you won't even know you're undergoing orthodontic treatment — ideal for working professionals and image-conscious adults.

Removable and Convenient

Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. There are no dietary restrictions, and maintaining good oral hygiene throughout treatment is straightforward.

Improved Bite and Jaw Comfort

Correcting the alignment of your teeth can relieve stress on your jaw joints and muscles, reducing discomfort, headaches, and uneven wear on your teeth caused by a misaligned bite.

Predictable, Digitally Planned Results

Using advanced digital scanning and treatment planning technology, we can show you a simulation of your projected results before you even begin. You'll know what to expect from day one.

THE PROCESS

Your Orthodontic Journey

Starting orthodontic treatment is simpler than most people expect. Here's how your journey with us typically works:
Free Orthodontic Consultation
We begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your concerns, examine your teeth, and determine whether clear aligners are suitable for you. We'll take photographs and, if appropriate, digital scans to support your assessment.
Digital Treatment Planning
Using sophisticated digital software, we map out a precise movement plan for your teeth and create a virtual simulation of your expected results. You'll be able to see your projected outcome before committing to treatment.
Your Aligners Are Made
Your custom aligners are manufactured using your precise digital scans. Each set is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually guiding your teeth into their new positions.
Progress Reviews & Completion
We'll see you for regular progress appointments throughout your treatment to ensure everything is on track. Once your teeth have reached their final position, we'll provide a retainer to keep them in place long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics

Absolutely not. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, clear aligners can work for you. A significant and growing proportion of our orthodontic patients are adults — many of whom have wanted straighter teeth for years and are finally taking the step.

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more involved cases can take 12–24 months. We'll give you a clear timeframe estimate after your initial assessment.

Clear aligners are effective for a wide range of alignment concerns — including crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites. Very complex cases may still require fixed appliances, but the majority of adults and teenagers are suitable candidates. We'll assess your suitability at your free consultation.

For best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. They should be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Consistent wear is the key to staying on track with your treatment timeline.

It's common to experience some mild pressure or discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, as your teeth begin to move. This usually settles within a day or two and is a normal sign that the treatment is working. Most patients find clear aligners significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.

Once your teeth have reached their final position, you'll need to wear a retainer to keep them in place. Without a retainer, teeth can gradually drift back over time. We'll provide a custom-fitted retainer and advise you on how long and how often to wear it.

Invisalign is the most established and clinically researched clear aligner system in the world, with a proven track record across millions of patients. It uses patented SmartTrack material and a sophisticated digital planning platform. Other clear aligner systems can also be effective, particularly for simpler cases, and may offer a more affordable alternative. We'll discuss the best option for your individual needs during your consultation.
