Adult Orthodontic Treatment in Fareham, Hampshire

Adult orthodontic treatment can improve both tooth alignment and bite function — and it’s often far more straightforward than many people expect. At Angus Pringle Orthodontics, adults in Fareham and Winchester receive specialist-led orthodontic care planned around comfort, appearance and long-term stability.

Treatment is provided by Angus Pringle, a UK-registered Specialist Orthodontist in Fareham. His practice is limited exclusively to orthodontics, meaning every plan focuses on what will work best clinically — not a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Is orthodontic treatment suitable for adults?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for many adults, regardless of age, provided teeth and gums are healthy. Some adults want to straighten teeth they’ve always felt self-conscious about. Others want to improve bite comfort, reduce uneven wear, or correct relapse after braces earlier in life.

A specialist orthodontic assessment helps clarify what’s possible, what’s appropriate, and what will remain stable long-term.

Orthodontic treatment options for adults

Adults often have more than one suitable option. The right choice depends on your teeth, your bite, the complexity of the movements required and how discreet you’d like treatment to be.

Clear aligners for adults

Invisalign® treatment in Fareham is a popular choice for adults who want a discreet option using clear, removable aligners. In selected cases, Spark Aligners may also be suitable.

Aligners can be an excellent option where the case is appropriate and the plan is carefully staged — including attention to bite function, not just tooth position.

Fixed braces for adults

Fixed braces remain one of the most effective ways to achieve precise tooth movement and bite correction, particularly for more complex cases. Treatment may include modern systems such as Damon braces, designed to deliver efficient, predictable results with improved comfort.

Good daily care is essential during orthodontic treatment. You can find practical advice on brushing, cleaning, diet and gum health in our guide to caring for your teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment .

What to expect from adult orthodontic treatment

Adult orthodontic treatment involves regular review appointments to monitor progress and make adjustments where needed. Treatment length varies, but many adults complete treatment within 12–24 months. Some cases are shorter; some require longer planning for best stability.

Throughout treatment, patients receive clear explanations so they understand what’s happening, what comes next, and how to get the best result.

Why choose a specialist orthodontist?

Specialist orthodontists complete several additional years of postgraduate training focused exclusively on orthodontics. This supports accurate diagnosis, careful bite planning and management of complex cases, with an emphasis on stability and long-term oral health.

At Angus Pringle Orthodontics, adult orthodontic treatment is planned and delivered by a specialist orthodontist, ensuring recommendations are based on clinical need rather than convenience.

Retainers after adult orthodontic treatment

Once treatment is complete, retainers are essential to maintain the result. Long-term stability is a key part of orthodontic care. Find out more about retainers.

Adult orthodontics FAQs

Is adult orthodontic treatment painful?

Some temporary discomfort is normal when aligners are changed or braces are adjusted, but this usually settles quickly. Most adults adapt well, and comfort is considered throughout the plan.

How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment length depends on complexity. Many adults complete treatment within 12–24 months, although some cases can be shorter or longer.

Can orthodontic treatment improve bite problems?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment can improve both alignment and bite function, supporting comfort, stability and long-term dental health.

How do patients decide between aligners and braces?

Both options can work very well. A consultation allows for a detailed assessment of teeth and bite, followed by clear advice on which option is most suitable clinically and what fits best with lifestyle.

Specialist Adult Orthodontic Care

Orthodontic treatment for adults often requires detailed diagnosis, careful planning and close collaboration with your general dentist. Treatment goals may include improving alignment, correcting bite relationships or preparing for restorative work.

Angus is a Specialist Orthodontist and member of the British Orthodontic Society, providing adult orthodontic treatment aligned with nationally recognised standards of care.
