for far too long \u2013 she felt her teeth were too crowded, her bite wasn\u2019t right and she wished that everything was straighter and brighter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unhappiness she felt about how her teeth looked was affecting her confidence, but she also didn\u2019t see any solution, assuming that to straighten her smile, big metal braces were the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

photographs, Dr Ronit created a bespoke treatment plan, specifically for Lynn, with a simple, powerful goal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straighten, align and whiten her teeth, giving her the smile she\u2019d always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step by Step to Straighter Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em>Treatment began, with Lynn wearing a series of clear aligners, each gently moving her teeth into the desired position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fairly swiftly, as the weeks went by, she could see the difference, with a straighter smile, a more comfortable bite and the aesthetics she\u2019d always hoped for.\u00a0 Once the smile was in the right place, professional whitening added an extra sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
