The three stages of the ABC Smile

The Align, Brighten and Contour stages consist of three main steps:

  1. Align — first, we align your teeth using discreet clear aligners to gently move them into their ideal position.
  2. Brighten — then, we brighten them with professional teeth whitening for a fresh, vibrant look.
  3. Contour — finally, we use composite bonding to contour the edges or corners, achieving the final smile finish.

This is often one of the most conservative and safest methods to enhance the smile without damaging the enamel.

Why choose the ABC approach?

Modern cosmetic dentistry is increasingly about doing less, beautifully. By aligning your natural teeth first, we avoid the need to shave them down for veneers in most cases. Whitening then refreshes the colour, and a small amount of artistic composite bonding refines the shape — all while keeping your enamel intact.
