Crooked or crowded teeth don’t always require metal braces. With modern clear aligner treatment, you can straighten your smile comfortably and discreetly. At Collingwood Dental Practice, we offer personalised clear aligner solutions for mild to moderate alignment concerns, using digital planning and gentle care. If you’ve been searching for a subtle alternative to braces, this could be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
At Collingwood Dental Practice, we specialise in clear aligners for mild to moderate teeth misalignment, helping you achieve a straighter, more confident smile without traditional braces. As a trusted dental clinic in Richmond, we offer personalised consultations to ensure the best treatment plan for your needs. New patients can also benefit from our dental new patient offer, making it easy and affordable to start your journey toward perfect alignment. Our experienced team combines modern technology with gentle care to deliver results you can be proud of.
Clear aligners are designed to correct mild to moderate orthodontic concerns while keeping treatment discreet and comfortable.
When teeth overlap or twist due to limited space
Closing spaces that affect appearance or food trapping
Including slight overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Realigning teeth that have moved over time
Digital Smile Assessment
We begin with a full scan and bite analysis as part of our general dental care services to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before starting alignment.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using 3D imaging, we map out how your teeth will move and show you a preview of your future smile.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss.
Progress Checks
We monitor your progress through simple review appointments to ensure everything is moving as planned.
Smile Retention
Once alignment is complete, retainers help keep your new smile in place long-term.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear. Clear aligners improve both the look and health of your smile.
