Treatment solutions for narrow smiles
Here at The Bespoke Smile, we believe that everyone should feel confident when they smile. A narrow smile can often be widened. Our team of dental experts is here to help you achieve a more balanced, confident smile.
With our tailored treatments and advanced techniques, we create a customised plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Patients come to us wanting to widen their smile, and there are several treatments that can help you gain your ideal smile. Our cosmetic dental treatments are designed to solve functional problems as well as aesthetic, giving you a truly Bespoke Smile.
Narrow smiles are caused by the width and alignment of the teeth and jaw. If a patient has multiple missing teeth, then this can affect the appearance of the teeth and cause them to look narrow.
A narrow smile can be caused by several factors, including:
Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth can restrict how wide the mouth can open during a smile.
When a smile is narrow, the cheeks are not as well supported which can impact facial aesthetics and structure. Wider smiles are considered more desirable because they look more symmetrical and even. There are many treatments that can widen a narrow-looking smile.
At Bespoke Smile, we offer a variety of treatment options designed to widen and enhance a narrow smile. Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique dental structure and facial features. Based on this evaluation, we may recommend orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, to gradually shift your teeth into a better position. This can create more space in your mouth and allow for a broader smile.
In some cases, cosmetic procedures like veneers or bonding can be effective. These treatments can reshape and lengthen the appearance of your teeth, creating the illusion of a wider smile. If gum exposure is a concern, gum contouring can be performed to achieve a more balanced gum line, further enhancing the smile’s width.
For those looking for a more immediate transformation, we also offer smile design consultations, where we explore adjustments that can dramatically improve your smile’s overall appearance. Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and goals, ensuring that you leave with a smile that reflects your true self and boosts your confidence.
Let us help you discover the beauty of a wider, more expressive smile!
Cosmetic braces are an effective solution for addressing narrow smiles. Unlike traditional metal braces, cosmetic options, such as clear aligners or tooth-coloured brackets, are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, providing a discreet treatment experience.
Throughout the treatment process, our team at Bespoke Smile will closely monitor your progress, ensuring that you achieve the desired results in a comfortable and supportive environment. With cosmetic braces, you can enjoy the benefits of effective orthodontic treatment without compromising your appearance. As your smile transforms, you’ll find renewed confidence and a sense of joy in sharing your smile with the world.
Invisalign is a popular treatment option for addressing narrow smiles, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces. This innovative system uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into a more optimal position, helping to create a wider, more confident smile.
Throughout the process, our team at Bespoke Smile will provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. As an Elite Invisalign Partner, you can achieve a wider, more balanced smile while enjoying the benefits of a comfortable and discreet orthodontic solution.
Composite veneers are an excellent option for enhancing narrow smiles, offering a quick and effective way to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Made from a tooth-coloured resin, composite veneers can be custom-designed to fit your unique smile, addressing concerns such as tooth size, shape, and spacing.
One of the key benefits of composite veneers is their versatility. They can be shaped and coloured to match your natural teeth while simultaneously creating the illusion of a wider smile. Composite veneers are also a less invasive alternative compared to other cosmetic options, and they can be easily repaired if necessary. With proper care, they can last for several years, making them a practical choice for those looking to enhance their smile without extensive procedures.
At Bespoke Smile, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. With composite veneers, you can enjoy a wider, more radiant smile that reflects your personality and boosts your confidence.
Porcelain Veneers are used to widen smiles because they can change the shape, colour and appearance of the teeth. These veneers are a popular cosmetic dental solution because the application process is minimally invasive and quick.
Ultra-thin porcelain veneers can give the smile a fuller and wider look by using ultra thin layers of porcelain to mask the natural teeth using minimally invasive and often no preparation techniques. Veneers are such a popular cosmetic treatment because of their natural look and feel, as well as their tooth-like durability. With dental veneers, patients’ smiles can last 20+ years with proper maintenance and aftercare, and each set is hand designed by one of our dentists and are then hand-crafted by expert ceramists for a seamless look.
Other benefits of veneers include:

A narrow smile is characterised by limited movement of the mouth, often resulting in less visibility of the teeth. It typically appears more subdued and may not fully convey joy. Factors such as dental alignment, jaw structure, and facial muscle movement can contribute to a narrow smile.
There are several effective treatments to fix a narrow smile, including orthodontic options like braces or clear aligners to improve dental alignment. Cosmetic treatments, such as composite veneers, can reshape and enhance the appearance of your teeth, creating the illusion of a wider smile. Gum contouring may also be considered to achieve a balanced gum line. A consultation with a dental professional will help determine the best approach for your specific needs.
A narrow smile can result from various factors, including dental alignment issues, jaw structure, or limited facial muscle movement. Additionally, genetics can play a role in the overall shape of your mouth and smile. If you’re concerned about the appearance of your smile, it’s best to consult with a dental professional to explore potential causes and treatment options.

Orthodontic solutions, such as fixed braces or Invisalign, are another way to improve the look of a narrow smile.
Both metal and clear braces are designed to re-align the teeth to widen the smile. In most minor orthodontic cases, a clear aligner like Invisalign can help straighten the teeth.
The magic of Invisalign is that they can align your teeth discreetly and invisibly so that you can smile confidently throughout your teeth-straightening treatment.
In more severe alignment cases, traditional metal braces may be a more suitable option to help straighten your teeth for the long-term.
Alignment treatment using braces can last anywhere between 6 and 18 months, depending on your individual requirements. Read more about the treatment process for fixed braces.
