Orthodontics in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare - find the right treatment for your smile
When we talk about orthodontics, it comes down to one thing - the alignment of teeth. No two sets of teeth are the same, and each grows in its own unique way. So much so, that 90 percent of people have teeth that are at least somewhat misaligned or overlapping, most where there are structural issues affecting your bite and your smile’s aesthetic. In more severe cases, especially in adulthood, these crooked teeth can heavily increase your risk of gum disease and tooth decay because the overlap is preventing you from effectively cleaning these teeth. This is why orthodontic treatment can be highly beneficial, and even life-changing.
Straighter teeth can improve oral health and confidence
Everyone deserves to have a great set of teeth and a smile they feel proud of. At Dentistry.ie, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments, including traditional fixed braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and Spark Aligners. Contrary to common belief, orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children. Whilst it’s true that orthodontic concerns are generally best treated early, treatment can be of great benefit to adult patients, who have more options than ever in the past. Thanks to the development of brace designs over the past few decades, orthodontic treatment is no longer invasive or uncomfortable. Fit your treatment around your day-to-day life and have a beautiful-looking smile throughout the brace-wearing period, thanks to the discreet brace designs of today.
Orthodontic treatment makes teeth easier to clean, which can lower the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Patients across Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan, and Artane also tell us they feel more confident at work, in photos, and day to day once treatment is complete.
We will carry out a detailed analysis of your mouth and examine your bite and tooth structure, to formulate a plan that addresses your specific concerns.

What is orthodontic treatment?
When we talk about orthodontics, it comes down to one thing – the alignment of teeth. No two sets of teeth are the same, and each grows in its own unique way. Around 90% of people have teeth that are at least somewhat misaligned or overlapping, often with structural issues affecting their bite and smile aesthetics. In more severe cases, especially in adulthood, crooked teeth can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth decay because overlaps prevent effective cleaning. Orthodontic treatment can be highly beneficial and even life-changing.
Who can benefit from orthodontics?
Everyone deserves a great set of teeth and a smile they feel proud of. Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children. While early treatment is generally ideal, adult patients also have more options than ever before. Modern braces are discreet, less invasive and can fit around your day-to-day life.
What types of braces do you offer?
- Metal braces: Traditional “train-track” braces with brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by arch wires. Coloured brackets are available, popular with younger patients.
- Ceramic braces: Similar to metal braces but tooth-coloured and less visible.
- Invisalign: Transparent aligners that fit over the teeth, moving them gradually over time.
Do I need orthodontic treatment?
If your teeth look “crooked,” you have mouth overcrowding, or gaps between your teeth, orthodontic treatment may help. A free, no-obligation consultation with our treatment coordinator at Dentistry.ie will determine the best option and discuss your likely treatment timeframe.
How long will I need to wear braces?
Treatment length depends on your specific circumstances. Most patients wear fixed braces for 18–24 months.
Are braces painful?
Braces apply steady pressure to move teeth. You may experience mild discomfort initially and after adjustments. Some patients may need tooth extractions to create space for alignment.
Do I need both upper and lower braces?
Not necessarily. You can have either the upper or lower teeth adjusted if required.
Can I eat normally with braces?
Avoid hard or sticky foods like sweets and toffees. Some staining may occur with curry or coffee. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential during treatment.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign trays are barely noticeable, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident. You can brush and eat normally without special cleaning tools or avoiding certain foods. Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, as there are no wires or brackets.
How long do I need to wear Invisalign each day?
