Teeth Straightening in Fraserburgh
Reclaim your smile with confidence!
Teeth Straightening
Uneven or crowded teeth can affect your confidence, whether it’s posing for a photo, chatting in public, or simply flashing a smile. If you’ve been putting off treatment because of how it might look or feel, teeth straightening at Fraserburgh Dental Care could be the answer. With modern, comfortable, and discreet options, it’s now easier to improve your smile without stress. A healthier, straighter smile might be closer than you think.
Your Treatment Explained
Teeth straightening treatments at Fraserburgh Dental Care help align teeth for an even, balanced smile and a more harmonious facial appearance.
Though often chosen for cosmetic reasons, this orthodontic treatment for adults also supports better oral health. Misaligned teeth can make cleaning harder, trapping food and bacteria that may lead to decay or gum disease. By gently guiding the teeth into better positions, straightening not only enhances how the smile looks, it also makes brushing, flossing, and oral care easier and more effective.
Do You Need Teeth Straightening?
Modern teeth straightening treatments may be the right choice if you’re experiencing:
- Feeling self-conscious about your smile: Crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth can impact how you feel in social settings or in photos.
- Trouble chewing comfortably: Misalignment can affect your bite, making it harder to eat properly and even causing digestive discomfort.
- Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene: Crowded or uneven teeth can make brushing and flossing a challenge, increasing the risk of plaque, decay, and gum issues.
- Frequent accidental bites: Misaligned teeth may lead to occasional painful bites to the lips, cheeks, or tongue.
Fraserburgh Dental Care welcomes patients from Fraserburgh and nearby areas, including Peterhead, Mintlaw, Banff, Strichen, Turriff, Ellon, Stuartfield, New Deer, Rosehearty, Inverallochy, and New Pitsligo.
Exploring Your Treatment Options
There are two major types of teeth straightening, they are:
- Aligners Clear
- Aligners like Invisalign are a popular option for teens and adults seeking discreet treatment. These custom-made, removable trays gradually move your teeth into place, offering comfort and flexibility throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment below:
How long does it take to straighten teeth?
The time it takes to straighten teeth depends on the complexity of the case and the treatment used. Some people may see results in a few months, while others may need over a year. A thorough assessment at Fraserburgh Dental Care is the best way to get a realistic estimate.
Is teeth straightening painful?
Teeth straightening isn’t usually painful, but it can cause mild discomfort when teeth begin to shift. This feeling is temporary and usually settles within a day or two. Pain relief can help if needed.
Can teeth be straightened in three months?
Minor alignment issues might be improved within three months, but most cases take longer. Treatment length varies from patient to patient. A dentist at Fraserburgh Dental Care will assess your individual needs and recommend a suitable treatment plan and a realistic timeline for achieving a straighter, healthier smile.

Other Treatments We Offer
Root Canal Treatment
While a simple filling can often resolve broken or decayed teeth, sometimes, when the problem has reached the pulp or nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is necessary.
First, we will remove the damaged or infected nerve before cleansing and shaping the inner canal to prevent reinfection and then sealing fully. Once the endodontic treatment has been carried out a crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has a large opening after root canal therapy.
Dental Hygiene
Our experienced hygienists have a keen focus on providing first class dental hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gum disease free.
We believe that prevention is key and we will work with you to help formulate a customised oral hygiene plan to suit your mouth and lifestyle. We recommend that all of our patients attend regular hygiene appointments and dental checkups to keep their smiles healthy.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be particularly useful when there is extensive loss of bone support or when multiple teeth are missing. In addition to tooth replacement, dentures can also give support and structure to soft tissues of the cheek and lips, while restoring dental form and function. Our skilled dental technicians will construct the dentures in the laboratory based on our prescription.
