Specialist Teeth Straightening in Solihull, Bromsgrove & Birmingham
Is Misalignment or Dental Discomfort Holding Your Smile Back?
At Orthodontics For You, we meet many adults across Solihull, Bromsgrove and Birmingham who have spent years feeling unhappy about their teeth. You might hide your smile in photos, feel self-conscious in meetings, or simply wish your teeth looked straighter.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Modern orthodontics for you isn’t just for teenagers, and metal braces aren’t your only option. Today’s treatments can be discreet, comfortable and designed to fit around your lifestyle.
At Orthodontics For You Solihull, our friendly team on Streetsbrook Road can help you understand your options and find a treatment that works for you.
Is This You?
- You hide your mouth when laughing or speaking.
- You feel your teeth affect your confidence or professional image.
- You wish you had straightened your teeth when you were younger.
- You want a straighter smile without obvious braces.
- Crowded teeth make brushing and flossing difficult.
The True Cost of Delaying Alignment
Crooked or overcrowded teeth aren’t only an aesthetic concern. Tight spaces can make brushing and flossing harder, allowing plaque to build up and increasing the risk of gum problems and tooth wear.
Misalignment can also place uneven pressure on your teeth and contribute to bite or jaw discomfort. Specialist orthodontic treatment at Orthodontics For You can address these issues while giving you a healthier, more confident smile.
Transformative Orthodontic Care Tailored to Adults
Discreet Braces and Aligners at Orthodontics For You
Modern orthodontics for you in Solihull provides a wide selection of discreet adult braces and clear alignment systems tailored to your specific lifestyle.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. They should be worn for around 20–22 hours a day and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.
For adult patients at Orthodontics For You who want a discreet and flexible option, Invisalign fits easily around work, social plans and everyday life.
Fixed Braces (Ceramic & Metal)
Fixed braces remain one of the most reliable and precise tools in modern orthodontic care. At Orthodontics For You Solihull, we provide two main styles of fixed braces:
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-coloured brackets make these braces less noticeable, making them a popular choice for adults who want a more discreet treatment.
- Metal Braces: A durable and cost-effective option, traditional metal braces provide strong control and can effectively treat more complex cases, including significant crowding and bite issues.
Lingual Hidden Braces
For patients seeking total discretion, our lingual braces at Orthodontics For You offer the ultimate invisible solution.
Lingual braces are fitted behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile or speak. They provide the control of fixed braces while keeping your treatment completely discreet. Because lingual braces are custom-made to fit the inside of your teeth, they require specialist expertise and are a higher-investment treatment option.
Professional Teeth Whitening with Polanight
Complete your new smile with professional home teeth whitening using the Polanight system. Our clinical team creates bespoke whitening trays to fit your teeth, which you use at home with Polanight gel overnight for 5-4 days.
At Orthodontics For You Solihull, we provide supervised home whitening rather than rapid in-practice or laser whitening. Your treatment is prescribed and overseen by a qualified dental professional to help protect your teeth and gums while achieving a brighter smile.
The Orthodontics For You Patient Journey
We strive to make every step of your orthodontic experience reassuring, transparent, and rewarding. The British Orthodontic Society recommends seeing an experienced clinician for orthodontic assessments to ensure optimal outcomes.

Teeth Straightening on the NHS for Adults and Teens: Key Differences Explained
NHS teeth straightening is free for teenagers under 18 who meet Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) grades 4 or 5 for functional dental issues. Adults rarely qualify for NHS braces because treatment is restricted strictly to severe medical necessities rather than cosmetic realignment. When approved, NHS care exclusively provides traditional metal fixed braces. Adults seeking discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic braces typically choose private orthodontic treatment. Private care eliminates multi-year NHS waiting lists and offers flexible payment plans.
Teeth Straightening on the NHS – What’s Covered and What’s Not
NHS orthodontic treatment is available for children under the age of eighteen who demonstrate a clear clinical need for teeth straightening. Eligibility is determined using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need scale to assess dental health. Only patients with high ratings for functional issues qualify for government-funded care. Adults are generally not eligible for NHS braces unless treatment is required for severe medical reasons. The NHS provides standard metal braces to improve dental function and health. Cosmetic options like clear aligners and ceramic braces are not covered by the health service.
Adult Orthodontics on the NHS: Is It Worth the Wait?
Adults qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment only when there is a significant medical or functional necessity. Eligibility is restricted to severe cases such as significant jaw misalignment, speech impediments, or difficulty chewing. Cosmetic concerns or minor crowding do not meet the criteria for government-funded care. Most adults face waiting times of twelve to twenty-four months because the health service prioritises children. Treatment usually involves traditional metal braces to correct functional health rather than clear aligners. Applicants must receive a referral from their primary dentist to an orthodontist for a clinical assessment of their eligibility.
