The total duration of treatment will depend on the complexity of the treatment. Our average treatment time is 2 – 4 months. You will be given an estimation of the total treatment time after your consultation.

Q Appliances from Quick Straight Teeth™ are specifically designed to have minimal disruption to everyday life. The clear braces used have no bulky material. Your appearance will have minimal disruption. Previous patients have stated that they went through treatment without anyone noticing.

As with all tooth movements, treatment comes with a calculated risk. Quick Straight Teeth™ takes every precaution to make sure this procedure is as safe as can be. If we feel there is any risk to the health of the teeth during treatment, we can offer the patient and client the opportunity to be evaluated by our Clinical Director, in order to give further reassurances. Quick Straight Teeth™ has been successfully used in over 5000 treatments to date without any reported problems.

Most patients report little or no effect on their speech during the treatment. However, similar to traditional orthodontic braces, some patients find an initial adjustment period associated with having something new in your mouth. Many patients quickly adjust to this change.

We strongly discourage smoking while wearing the aligners because it can stain or discolour your retainers, making them a lot less clear. However, although not recommended, you may smoke once the retainers have been removed from your mouth, but any damage caused to the appliance as a result of smoking will not be covered in your warranty.

We advise against anything that may put stress on your teeth during treatment. Chewing gum will inevitably do this so we do advise that you remove your clear braces while chewing gum. Gum will stick to aligners and may affect your warranty. We recommend that you remove your clear braces at all times while eating.

You need to wear your aligners (clear braces) at all times during treatment apart from when eating, brushing or flossing teeth. Remember our clear braces will only work if you’re wearing them! Ideally, a patient should wear the Aligner for 20 hours a day, every day. Any less and the treatment could take longer to complete. Remember we want you to achieve results quickly! It is acceptable to remove the appliance for special occasions, such as photographs or important meetings, but they should be replaced as soon as practicably possible.

This will depend on the products used during your treatment. On average patients visit their dentist every two to four weeks. Quick Straight Teeth™ has a range of Q Appliances, all of which have slightly different uses. Each patient’s case will use different Q Appliances, altering your dentist appointment frequency. You will be told exactly how often you need to attend after your first consultation.

Patients who have a mild to moderate crowding or protrusion of their front teeth could well be suitable for treatment with Quick Straight Teeth™. Most partner practices will offer a free consultation and we will give our complimentary advice also.
