It’s never too late to achieve a straighter, healthier smile. At Winchester Orthodontic Practice, we help adults of all ages improve their dental alignment and bite using discreet, effective treatments. Whether you missed out on braces as a teenager, or your teeth have shifted over time, our team can tailor a plan that suits your lifestyle, goals, and budget.

Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment

  • Improve confidence and smile aesthetics
  • Address crowding, gaps, or bite changes
  • Prevent wear, jaw strain, or gum issues caused by misalignment
  • Enhance oral hygiene by making teeth easier to clean

Orthodontic Options for Adults

We offer a wide range of solutions designed for busy professionals, parents, and individuals seeking subtle, effective care:

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your teeth and bite using digital scans
  2. Treatment Planning: Your plan is customised based on goals, lifestyle, and complexity
  3. Appliance Fitting: Whether you opt for aligners or braces, we ensure a comfortable start
  4. Ongoing Reviews: In-person or remote progress monitoring with Dental Monitoring
  5. Retention: Retainers are provided post-treatment to maintain your result

Is It Too Late to Straighten My Teeth?

Not at all. We treat patients well into their 50s, 60s and beyond. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, adult orthodontic treatment is highly achievable. You may even find that you’re more motivated and compliant with treatment than when younger.

How Long Does Adult Treatment Take?

Treatment length depends on your individual needs and the type of appliance chosen. Most adult cases range from 6 to 24 months. We’ll give you a clear timeline at your consultation, with regular reviews to ensure steady progress.

Finance & Payment Options

We believe orthodontic care should be accessible at any age. That’s why we offer flexible finance options to suit your needs:

  • 0% interest payment plans over 12, 18, or 24 months
  • Low initial deposit to begin treatment
  • Option to pay in full upfront
