Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Hest Bank, Morecambe and Lancaster

Never before have there been so many ways to have your teeth straightened.

Teeth straightening is a dental speciality known as Orthodontics. Using fixed braces or removable aligners, teeth are slowly and precisely moved to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

Dentists and Orthodontists have been straightening teeth for decades, but a lot has changed in that time. Traditional fixed braces will always be a fantastic way to straighten teeth, but advances in technology have now introduced a range of discreet alternatives. From clear removable aligners, clear fixed braces to invisible wires hidden behind the teeth, these aesthetic options have seen a huge rise in the number of adults seeking straighter teeth.

Orthodontic treatment is most often used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding or crowded teeth, and to correct problems with the bite of the teeth. Whether you have mild crowding or a complex bite problem, our teeth straightening dentist Stuart or Sofia, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Hest Bank Dental Care in Lancaster we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Invisalign
  • Clear aligners

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. Stuart or Sofia will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Benefits of dental braces or clear aligners from Hest Bank Dental Care in Lancaster

  • Dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and potentially provide a life-changing confidence boost.
  • Improve the way your teeth function and bite together – they can even help some speech problems.
  • Straighter teeth provide food and plaque with fewer places to hide, making it easier for you to keep your smile clean and healthy.
  • If you follow aftercare advice and wear your retainers, your results can last a lifetime.

Am I suitable for teeth straightening?

Your teeth and gums need to be healthy before you can start treatment. If you have any implants, crowns, bridges, or veneers you can still wear braces, we can usually work around them.

I was nhs but during covid my dentist was just going to rip my root out preventing a crown repair. I had to find a private dentist. I came across hest bank (now yrs as a patient ) and within a few hours had my crown replaced although at that time it was expensive. Ive stayed with them as a private patient...finding all the team happy friendly and very helpful but professional when it comes to their specific work my teeth have never been so good with the work they have done ...I thought pricey but googling other practices there's not much in price difference in procedures. I need a Friday appointment very accommodating or my dentist works late on a Thursday evening id like to finish by thanking everyone at hest bank .my teeth are very happy

I really love how I was welcomed and treated, I had a severe toothache which was causing me a sleepless night . I searched online and I found their website. I took their number and called that morning on that same day, they booked me in for treatment . The dentist really did well because on that same day , I had already seen a dentist who tried to extract my tooth but couldn’t. I really appreciate and I am grateful.

My previous dental surgery experience wasn’t great and having experienced the service at Hest Bank it surpassed my expectations considerably. Understanding was show from the initial appointment and the appointments were easy to make and not having to wait several months for an available date was perfect

Following a recommendation from a friend I transferred from another local dentist to Hest Bank Dental Clinic. My first impressions of the clinic and staff were very favourable. The dentist I saw was thorough, explained everything carefully and a treatment plan I felt happy with was agreed. His friendly manner and professionalism helped give me the confidence that the decisions made are the right ones. I am so pleased that I made the move.

My treatment was without any stress or drama, and nothing was forced on me. I had a badly broken, and I thought, rotten front tooth. Expecting the very least option would be a crown, but more likely an implant, I was amazed when I was told it could be repared. I was sceptical, but now after the treatment, I have a tooth that looks and feels like my original!

For the past five years I have been coming here. Before that I was never satisfied, however, these guys make a visit less stressful and very relaxing. My dental health is far improved also.
