As an adult, no matter what age you are, straightening your teeth can be life changing. Straighter teeth are easier to clean than crooked ones and gums fit more tightly around straight teeth. And of course, there's the confidence boost that comes with straight teeth and a beautiful smile.

What factors can make a beautiful smile?

A beautiful smile is generally defined by the following:

Straightness and symmetry of teeth
Tooth proportion and smile width
Spacing of teeth
Shape, colour and fullness of lips
Gum health and gum line
Colour of teeth
