Reimagineteeth straightening
Life doesn’t slow down while you straighten your teeth. But traditional metal braces can draw attention, feel uncomfortable, and impact confidence especially for adults balancing work, family, and social life.
At Moody Terrace Dental Practice , we provide clear braces through SureSmile® – a trusted aligner system designed for daily life. Our SureSmile® clear braces are designed to fit into daily life as they are subtle and practical, letting you work toward a straighter smile without the inconveniences that can present with a fixed brace.


Why choose clear braces at Moody Terrace?
Discreet, comfortable, and effective – clear braces are designed with your needs in mind. Here’s how they make a difference:
- Virtually hidden alignment: Enjoy the advantages of straighter teeth without anyone detecting you’re wearing braces.
- Removable aligners: Want to eat something sticky? No problem. Just remove your aligners and put them back in after (after appropriate oral hygiene care).
- Comfort is a big difference: No wires poking your cheeks or brackets to irritate your gums, just smooth plastic trays that sit snugly on your teeth.
- Suit most mild to moderate cases: Whether it’s closing gaps or correcting mild crowding, our aligners can help achieve a straighter, more confident smile.

Great service as usual

The hygienist I saw was quite formidable but delightful when I found out that she had a problem with cakes and sweet things, she melted when I said wonderful sugar kept her and probably the entire profession in work😉! 10/10.
Excellent treatment by Adam. Always thorough, very gentle and explains results carefully.
Thanks to all.
Sally took the time to explain things to me and addressed the things that made me anxious, resulting in a positive experience.
They are a credit to the team and I would recommend Sally if you do have anxieties around your dental visits, she is amazing!

From the second you arrive at reception you are made welcome, everyone is kind, friendly and supportive, the little touch of someone coming down to reception to meet you and walk you to the consultation room means that you are already quite relaxed with the chat on the way. Throughout my many consultations I never felt rushed or hurried, a very relaxing and chatty experience every time. Adam and later Tom and Robin explained the various processes, offered alternatives and ideas I had not thought of at all. Detailed reports, charts, xrays etc appear in my inbox before I'm even back home, all of which explain everything succinctly.
Well done to the whole team, 10/10, I could not wish for better
I was there for a routine check up but the dentist found time to investigate an ear difficulty that may be caused by my teeth or jaw. He was thorough, knowledgeable and unhurried in his checks. He referred me on, and the practice gave me a very prompt follow on appointment with the appropriate expert.
The dental hygienist was gentle and took on board my preferred way of removing plaque, ie not drowning my mouth and throat with water. Excellent treatment.
Would recommend you to register here if your looking for a Professional team to take care of your dental needs.
Before I attended the practice, I was contacted by phone with a supporting E mail, to explain how Moody Terrace Dental Practice intended to keep their patients and themselves safe, relating to the Corona19 pandemic.
When I arrived for my appointment, I followed the protocol required of me, which was all very dignified, I felt very safe.
My extraction went well, thank you Adam for your care and professonism. 🦷
Highly recommend - sedation his speciality !

Private patient, was given an appointment 2 hrs after calling, crown refitted, xrays taken and toothache checked all in half an hour. Cait a very professional and knowledgeable dentist took the time to explain in detail what happening in a very calm and reassuring atmosphere... Less expensive than I imagined and worth every penny.
Would recommend
Thank you.
A pay scheme would be helpful for costly appointments.

SureSmile®clear braces FAQS
The main thing you’ll notice is the absence of wires and brackets. Our SureSmile® Clear braces are thin, almost invisible trays that just slide over your teeth. They don’t scrape the inside of your mouth, and most people forget they’re even wearing them after a while.
Yes. Plenty of adults come to us later in life wanting to straighten their teeth, but without the look or hassle of fixed braces. Clear braces tend to work best when the movement needed is moderate. But in the right cases, they can make a real difference.
It really counts on the case, but most treatments fall between 6 and 18 months. Some finish sooner, others need a little longer. We’ll give you a proper estimate once we’ve looked at your teeth.
Yes, you just remove them when you eat or drink. There’s nothing you need to avoid, which is a big plus. Just remember to clean your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
We’ll fit you with a retainer to keep everything in place. It’s usually worn at night. That part’s important. Otherwise, your teeth might start to shift back to where they were before.
