What does an orthodontist do?
When you come to us at Dental Solutions, an orthodontist in Warrington will examine your teeth and bite, using methods such as X-rays, scans, and moulds to create a digital version of how your smile looks now and how it could look after orthodontic treatment.
Everyone’s teeth are different, so the most suitable treatment to straighten your teeth will depend on various factors such as the extent of your misalignment, your budget, and your aesthetic preferences for which type of brackets or aligners to use.
Our Warrington orthodontists will talk you through the best treatment choices for your teeth and the costs, including dental finance options where available.
We can help patients to correct orthodontic problems such as overcrowded teeth, gapped teeth, overbites, underbites, and open bites – leading to an improved quality of life with better oral hygiene, bite function, and self-esteem, thanks to a newly straight and even smile.
Is orthodontic treatment right for me?
From clear braces to ‘invisible’ aligners, there are several options available to help teenagers and adults straighten their teeth quickly and discreetly. The type of braces you’ll need and how long the treatment will take depends on the condition and position of your teeth.
If you aren’t sure whether orthodontics in Warrington is the right choice for you, there are some factors you should consider that could help you decide whether this is the most practical route to achieve the straight white smile you’ve been wishing for.

Invisalign Case Study: Katy’s Story
Whilst everyone was having orthodontics in their teens, my teeth were lovely and straight. It wasn’t until all my friends were having their braces taken off that my teeth started to become overcrowded and slip behind each other.
I came to Dental Solutions for a consultation with my orthodontist Warrington and discussed the different options for tooth straightening. I felt that I was almost too old for traditional metal braces, especially as my friends now had lovely straight white teeth. I decided instead to go for the Invisalign option.
My treatment only took 8 months from start to finish -the time went so quickly. Sometimes the clear aligners had little white dots on them where additional force was needed to move or rotate an individual tooth. I felt rather conscious of their dotty appearance on my smile! However, I took my Mums’ advice of mentioning the dots to people up front – however nobody seemed remotely bothered by them so I needn’t have worried.
It was also a little different to get used to taking the aligners out to eat, then brushing before popping them back in. But again it was a habit that I got used to.
The dentist was a perfectionist, at the end of my treatment she did some final refinements to achieve a perfect smile, including some shaping of a couple of teeth to improve my smile symmetry and some whitening to brighten their colour.
I am so delighted with the results – people really compliment me on my smile now and as a result I smile a lot more than I did before Invisalign treatment- I feel as though I have more confidence too.
I really appreciate the job that the Dental Solutions team did to improve my smile- I’m so happy that I decided to use Invisalign too, it was perfect for me.
– Quick Straight Teeth
If you feel like your smile is holding you back and you want results fast, the innovative new orthodontics offered by the Quick Straight Teeth plan could be ideal for you.
The Quick Straight Teeth treatment uses 3M brackets and tooth-coloured wires to correct mild misalignment of the front teeth. Our orthodontist in Warrington can provide less visible clear braces that are both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
With this discreet treatment option, you could see results in as little as 6-9 months – perfect if you’re hoping to fix a minor orthodontic problem before a big event like a wedding or graduation.
– 6 Month Smiles
Searching for braces for adults that won’t leave you stuck with the stereotypically teenage ‘train track’ look for up to 2 years? 6 Month Smiles is the ideal solution – as the name suggests, this treatment can straighten crooked teeth in just half a year.
This process focuses on the teeth that are visible when you smile, rather than changing your entire bite. As it doesn’t make significant changes to the bite, the treatment can complete small adjustments to your front teeth much faster.
Speak to our orthodontist in Warrington to find out more about the 6 Month Smiles Lucid-Lok™ system, which uses comfortable tooth-coloured braces.
– Fastbraces®
Another fast-track solution to straighten teeth without wearing braces long-term is the Fastbraces® system. While traditional braces take longer because they move the crown of the tooth and then the root in stages, Fastbraces® moves the entire tooth at once.
This is possible because the treatment uses triangular brackets instead of the standard square type, with a singular flexible wire for the whole set of braces. It typically takes 3-10 months to complete, depending on the complexity of the misalignment.
To learn more about how the unique Fastbraces® technology works and whether it would be suitable for you, contact us for a consultation with a Warrington orthodontist.

FAQs
How long does it take for teeth to settle with Braces?
Although fitting braces shouldn’t be a painful process, it is normal for them to be uncomfortable and to cause mild pain during the first 1-2 weeks. This is because your teeth need to get used to the new pressure that’s being put on them in order to shift them to their new position. You can manage any discomfort with painkillers and should find that your symptoms ease and your teeth begin to settle after a week or two.
What are the don'ts with Braces?
Braces are relatively straightforward, but there are some things you should avoid doing to prevent damage being caused to the braces, which include:
- Avoiding certain foods that are very hard, chewy or sticky
- Not chewing on foreign objects such as pens and fingernails
- Drink a lot of very sugary drinks
Your orthodontist in Warrington will be able to advise you during your consultation on the best ways to maintain your braces.
What preparation is required for Braces?
The process of getting braces fitted is usually fairly simple and doesn’t always require much in the way of preparation. However, sometimes teeth will need to be extracted in order for braces to be fitted, or you may require other treatments first if your oral health isn’t at its best. It is worth noting, however, that we will always try to avoid removing teeth if we can, and this will usually only be done if there’s severe overcrowding.
How long does it take for Braces to work?
There is no universal set time for orthodontics in Warrington, and the amount of time your braces will take to work will largely depend on the severity of your condition. For example, if you have a very misaligned or wonky smile, your treatment is likely to take much longer than someone with relatively aligned teeth that just require some small shifts.
Your orthodontist will be able to give you a clearer idea of exactly how long your braces treatment is likely to take during your initial consultation.
