Teeth Straightening in Bristol

Clear aligners are our most popular teeth straightening treatment. Each set of custom-made trays is worn for 7–10 days, gently shifting your teeth toward their final position.

What makes our process different is the iTero Element Digital Scanner. Instead of physical moulds, we scan your teeth in minutes to create an accurate 3D model and show you a simulation of your expected results before you commit. Your aligners are then precision-fabricated from that scan.

All Invisalign treatment at Muse Dental includes Vivera retainers as standard, the gold-standard post-treatment retainer made by Invisalign. Many practices charge separately for these. We don’t.

Clear aligners like Invisalign are virtually invisible, removable, and ideal for mild to moderate misalignment and popular with adults and professionals. Traditional fixed braces offer more precise control for complex cases and are often more cost-effective for severe misalignment.

At Muse Dental, Dr Dave Stone will assess your case at consultation and recommend the right system for your specific needs, lifestyle, and budget so you’re never pushed toward a treatment that isn’t right for you.

Treatment time depends on your case complexity. Mild crowding or spacing issues can often be corrected in as little as 6 months. Most Invisalign cases are completed within 12–18 months, while traditional fixed braces for more complex cases typically take 18–24 months.

At your consultation, Dr. Dave Stone will give you a realistic, personalised timeline so you know exactly what to expect before committing to treatment.

For most patients, teeth straightening fits seamlessly into daily life. Invisalign aligners are removable for eating, drinking, and brushing, so there are no dietary restrictions and no changes to your oral hygiene routine. Aligners are worn for 20–22 hours per day for the best results.

Fixed brace wearers will need to avoid hard or sticky foods and take extra care when brushing, but most patients adapt quickly within the first few weeks. Appointments at Muse Dental are typically every 6–8 weeks, and with evening slots available until 8 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, fitting treatment around work or family life is straightforward.

Straighter teeth do more than improve your appearance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the long-term risk of cavities, gum disease, and jaw problems. Better alignment also improves chewing efficiency and can positively impact speech clarity.

Beyond the clinical benefits, most patients at Muse Dental report a significant boost in confidence, feeling more comfortable smiling in photos, social situations, and work.

Yes, provided you wear your retainers as directed. After active treatment, teeth will naturally try to drift back. Vivera retainers, included with every Invisalign package at Muse Dental, are worn overnight and are significantly more durable than standard retainers. They protect your results long-term at no extra cost.
