Do you feel self-conscious about crooked or misaligned teeth?
Misaligned teeth can really affect your confidence and make you want to hide your teeth away. But there is so much more to having straight teeth than just a confident smile.
What are the other effects of misaligned teeth?
If misaligned teeth are not treated, they can eventually lead to:
The best way to straighten your teeth is through an orthodontic treatment.
At Enhance Dental Care we are proud providers of Smilelign, a clear aligner orthodontic system. With its discreet appearance, you can go about your normal daily life, with minimum impact.
What is Smilelign?
Increasingly popular, Smilelign is a clear aligner (brace) system that moves your teeth discreetly into the desired position, meaning that you can continue your life with confidence.
Smilelign consists of a series of different clear aligners, each one fitting over your teeth and gently moving them in to the desired position.
Worn 24 hours a day – except when eating or drinking – each subsequent aligner is different to its predecessor, gradually guiding your teeth to towards your future straight, confident smile.
With treatment taking place in as little as 3 months, Smilelign aligners work quickly to straighten any misalignment issues that you may have. However, the total treatment time varies dependent on each person’s needs.
At your initial consultation, you will have a 3D scan taken.
Smilelign’s technicians, based here in the UK, will take these scans and using top of the range software, start to plan your journey ensuring that Smilelign treatment will work for you.
Your 3D treatment plan will be sent directly back to the dentist, who will be able to show you the current position of your teeth and the expected position after completion of a series of Smilelign aligners. It is at this stage that your dentist can more accurately commit to timescale of your treatment.
As with any teeth straightening, retention will also be required. There are different options available, and your dentist will discuss these with you, prior to any commitment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners in Yarm
As well as Smilelign, we offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment at our Yarm practice. Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners that you wear for most of the day and change as your teeth gradually move into position. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss as normal.
Your Invisalign Assessment & 3D Treatment Plan
Every Invisalign treatment starts with an orthodontic assessment. We check the health of your teeth and gums, scan your teeth and create a 3D treatment plan, so you can see how your teeth are expected to move before you decide to go ahead.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Yarm?
• Orthodontic assessment including 3D treatment plan: £299
• Invisalign (dual arch): £3,450, including end-of-treatment retention
Prices are taken from our 2026 price list. You can spread the cost of treatment over 3, 6, 10 or 12 months with 0% dental finance, subject to status.
Invisalign or Smilelign — Which Is Right for Me?
Both are clear aligner systems that straighten teeth discreetly. At your assessment we will explain the differences and recommend the system that best suits your teeth, your goals and your budget.
